Go Gonzo with Hunter S. Thompson
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Documentary, New Releases,
Unless you were well-read and politically savvy in the late 60s and early 70s, you might not have heard of Hunter S. Thompson until the somewhat obscure Johnny Depp film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas helped push him back in the limelight. But if you think the documentary-style Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson will take you back into that drug-soaked world, you’re wrong.
Known for his self-destructive ways, inebriated days and off-color behavior, Hunter S. Thompson was a larger-than-life character. But he was also a fantastic writer. It is to this side of Thompson that Gonzo pays homage.
Reviews of the film are full of praise. Variety says the flick “has a wealth of delightful archival footage to draw on, both directly involving Thompson and evoking the cultural landscape around him.” The Associated Press critic called it “a remarkably balanced look at a man whose creativity sprang from his perpetual state of imbalance.”

Fahrenheit 9/11 Sequel Planned
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
Michael Moore - never one to shy away from controversy - is back at it again. The writer/producer/director has chosen to follow up last year’s Sicko with a sequel to his 2004 hit, Fahrenheit 9/11.
While this movie will chronologically pick up where the original left off, it will not be about one specific event. It will instead have a much broader focus. According to the chief for Paramount Vantage (one of the two companies Moore is partnering with), the film “is going to tackle what’s going on in the world, and America’s place in it.”
Those already worried about the timing of Oliver Stone’s upcoming Bush project should feel at ease with this new documentary. Moore is not planning to release the film until sometime next year - long after the presidential election is over.
