This documentary about the life and times of the man who created "The Godfather" is a fascinating look at the man and the man behind the man. The documentary is well made and very informative. The interviews are interesting and the film gives a very good overview of the man. I think it is a very good documentary and definitely worth watching.

I can't believe that people are still talking about this film. I was so happy to see it on TV and I am so glad that I didn't pay for it. It was so good. It was very enlightening and so funny. The documentaries were very interesting. I would recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries or just wants to see something that is different. It is a very good documentary and I would recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries or just wants to see something that is different.

The only reason I saw this was because of the star power. I really liked the movie, but the ratings were not what I was expecting. It was very hard to watch some of the interviews with the producer and directors. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that it was an interesting look into the history of Hollywood and the films that were made. The interviews were very interesting, and I thought the history of film was very interesting. It was very hard to follow a lot of the stories because they were so many, but it was still a very interesting look into the history of Hollywood. I really liked the movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves history, or just wants to learn about the history of the movies. I give this movie a 7/10.

This documentary is based on an article I wrote for the New York Times and appeared on NPR. My title was the follow-up to the title on the DVD sleeve. For some reason, the producer and editor-in-chief of the video "Jumpstart Your Business" decided to use "The Secret History of Hollywood" instead of the original title. I have never heard of them. But my name appears as a co-producer on the DVD and I did write an article that was quoted in the video. That article was for NPR and NPR decided to use the wrong title. The producer and editor-in-chief of the DVD told me they are looking for a co-producer. I do not know why. I have nothing against "The Secret History of Hollywood" but it would have been nice if they would have chosen the correct title. What is wrong with that?

One of the greatest films of all time in my opinion. This documentary focuses on the man who directed "Batman Forever", the comics from which the popular television series is based on. Filmmakers Robbie Blum and Mark Doyle take us into the world of the comics. They have spent the better part of two decades making their history of comics to what they would like to make the definitive biography. They work with several major writers and directors, and try to stick to what they know is historically correct. The biggest shocker is that they don't go as far as showing the entire comic book from the 1930s to today. For this film, they focus on the first half of the decade of the 1940s, then going back in time to Batman #1, and later going to comics by Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson and even Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. This is a fascinating history lesson for people who know nothing about the comics. This is the kind of film that makes me laugh and even shout out at the screen, and it is a film that you will absolutely love if you are a fan of comic books. In my opinion, the only negative points to the film are that the lack of time on "Batman", and they spent way to little time with the directors of the comics. The comic books were just starting to get into the hands of kids and adults. I think that this would have been a fantastic documentary film if it wasn't for time constraints. If you are a fan of the comic books, this is a film you will not want to miss. This film has a certain nostalgia that will work wonders with the people who were a fan of the comic books at that time. Don't miss it!

Being a film major at USC, I thought this would be a good documentary about film making, but it wasn't. It did a good job explaining how to keep film on a budget, but the problems that were facing the film industry was missing. I thought that the film was interesting, but I don't think it would have been better without any academic knowledge. The majority of the points about The Graduate were true, but it wasn't mentioned much in the movie. I don't know why the film makers did not mention other things about The Graduate, like the medical problems that Stromberg had, or how the agent really did try to help him. It's all good to see, but it's a bit over the top.

This documentary is certainly worth watching. The interviews with the director and the writer were very interesting and worth listening to. The most interesting thing is that the writer and director met and spoke on camera about their experiences in Hollywood.

I've always been a fan of Michael Moore. I watched Fahrenheit 9/11 with interest. It's always fascinating to watch how a country can change. And I have to say that I was very impressed with this documentary. It was well worth the watch. It's not a complete documentary, but it gives an overview of the history of the movie industry. The interviews were very interesting. I found it informative and entertaining. I'm glad I watched it and I recommend it to anyone who likes to learn more about the movie industry.

This is the true story of the clash between Howard Hughes and John Huston. I did not know it was a documentary until I started watching this. It is great to have someone of Hughes's caliber to reflect on his life. During the interviews, I was reminded of how far-reaching his ideas and his time have become. His success over the years has given rise to film makers and institutions that can actually be talked about. This story isn't as exciting as the story of John Huston, but I think it's quite fascinating and insightful. The only complaint I have is the inclusion of a film crew to make the documentary. For many, they may feel that they were just being filmed. However, if you can't get through the first ten minutes of the documentary, there's no need to have the film crew. You are not here to watch the documentary, and just to watch the man discuss his life and career. You don't want to hear about his girlfriends, that's for sure. Overall, the documentary does a good job of explaining Hughes' life and the events that shaped it. It covers a lot of ground and does a great job of giving you a good idea of what it was like for Hughes to be so famous and the events that shaped his career. This is a well done and interesting documentary.

This movie is a must-see for anyone who is a fan of the work of Tom Cruise. As I said before, the movie is both a history lesson and a review of how Tom Cruise and his cohorts (sometimes known as the "Artsy Boys") influenced movies and the way we think about the past. The problem is that people are easily influenced by their idols. Tom Cruise is no different than anybody else in that regard. However, he does have his own way of doing things. His critics have given him a lot of slack because they feel that he should be "straight-arrowed" and "traditional" like his father and uncle were. Well, he is not a straight-arrow, and he is not a traditional. In this film he states that he is not a "traditional" but a "follower." The film is not perfect, and I do not think that all of the problems in it can be put on Cruise's shoulders. It's the lack of balance that keeps it from being a "10." As I said before, I don't think that all of the problems can be put on Tom Cruise. It's a mix of things, and I would have liked to see a more balanced view of what Tom Cruise is and what he does. In the end, I thought that the movie was very well done, and very well presented. It is worth the time to watch it. It's the first documentary I have ever watched that really got me thinking. I was thoroughly impressed by the overall quality of the movie. I am very interested in seeing what Tom Cruise does next.

I had some preconceived notions going into this film. That it was going to be negative and anti-Hollywood and so on and so forth. And I got my wish. I am not sure how to put this - I did not feel there was much respect for what is an extremely talented group of individuals. I am still unsure if "The Secret History of Hollywood" will be an actual documentary about the history of the craft of filmmaking. It was more of a documentary about this specific film and its following, and the people involved. If you have not seen this film, do not pay a full price. Don't expect a real documentary. As I said before, it was supposed to be an anti-Hollywood film. Although they did not use any of the typical tools of a Hollywood film, they certainly did use some of the most recognizable tropes - the movie trailers, the random sound effects and so forth. But it is the film itself that is the real point of the film. And that is what this film is. It is a look into the life and times of the big Hollywood hitmakers, their inspirations, their fall from grace, their growth and what they achieved. We get to see a little more of Ben Affleck (as well as a little more of Bruce Willis) and it was nice to see all of them together. I also was entertained and I think it was a good film. I also would not say I enjoyed the film the way it was presented. I am still not sure if I truly liked it or not, but I can say that the film was entertaining and I got what it was going for.

The film itself is great, and the interviews are excellent. There are a lot of gems in this documentary. It is a very entertaining movie. The only problem I had with the film was the narrator. I think he was very cheesy. I don't know if it was the style of the film or the way he said it. I think he should have been in the film more. I think he could have added a lot to the film. The first part of the movie was great. It was very informative and entertaining. The second part was just boring. I think it was because it was a little boring. I think they should have used more of the first part to make it more interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed this film. It is a great documentary about the rise and fall of the movies of the 1950s. It is not only informative, but entertaining as well.

We have two very passionate people who are willing to discuss what is good about this country and what is bad. What I found is that both have studied the film and the personalities behind the director. They have done a very good job of capturing the different types of personalities that are behind the director. They explain why each of the actors chose certain roles, and also why certain roles were chosen for the actors. I think the greatest compliment I can give is to say that the film has been a great education for my wife. She has studied the film and understands how it is different from the original. The first thing she had to learn is that she can not get lost in the films. She will need to study the different actors and roles to understand the film, and why it is different from the original. She also needs to understand the roles and the personalities behind the director, and why they chose certain roles. I think the most important thing she needs to learn is that the film is a story of the past. The stories are different. The actors and personalities are different. The characters are not the same. The story is different. The movie is different. The reason it is different is that it is not just a film. It is a documentary. I think it is a good film for people who want to learn about the history of the film industry and the different types of personalities behind the director.

My take on this documentary is that it should be classified as a 'documentary' and not as a 'history' documentary. A lot of things in this documentary are quite interesting, some they just wouldn't fit together in a documentary. But the overall feel of this documentary is as though it were written as a fan fiction by a fan for a fan. And it works really well. I would recommend this documentary to anyone who is an fan of any kind of movie history, even if the movie you're interested in is something like "A Knight's Tale" or "2001: A Space Odyssey" or something. This is a great movie history for any fan of either movie and it's not for those who think of this as a documentary or who think it's a 'history' documentary. Anyone interested in the movie history will love this, anyone interested in seeing a 'documentary' about a movie will love this, but anyone interested in the fan fiction, or the facts about a movie in general will probably love this. This documentary is definitely worth watching, and I highly recommend anyone to go watch this.

It's a good documentary that you'll need to watch twice to fully grasp the context of the documentary. In addition to the main characters being entertaining and funny (though not terribly original), the movie does a great job of describing the history of the people involved in this very interesting and unique story. The majority of the characters in the film are high-profile figures in the film industry, from both big and small production companies. I enjoyed the film so much that I went out and bought a VHS copy, which I will gladly buy again.

I saw the movie in the movie theatre. I really enjoyed this movie and I really hope that it reaches the full potential of this great actor. It was so great to see Billy Crystal and Steven Spielberg working together and the music really makes you feel like you are in the 80's. You will love it! I really hope that it makes the Oscars!

This is a really interesting and well done documentary. I had no idea what to expect going in, but it was definitely worth the wait. It's a little slow, but it's well worth it. I think that it's a shame that this documentary has been released on DVD. I can't think of a better way to spend two hours. It's definitely worth seeing, especially if you're a fan of Burt Reynolds.

I just wanted to add a comment to this film. I've read the other reviews and a lot of them have said that it was biased. I didn't find it biased. It was a documentary. That's why I enjoyed it so much. I found it a very entertaining and insightful look into Hollywood. The producers, directors, and actors all had very compelling stories to tell. I'm not sure how many of the "activist" reviews would agree with the fact that I'm not a fan of some of the actors in this documentary, but I'm not against them either. It is definitely an interesting look into what makes a successful film, and the very important relationship between director, producer, and actor. It's really not a film I would recommend for the average viewer, but for those who are looking for a good story, I highly recommend it.

I have always loved this movie. It's a great educational piece of history, and there is a great lesson in it. I've read the book, and the movie does a great job of showing the complexities of the movies. It's not perfect, but it's an excellent movie.

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen, the way it moves along at a good pace and keeps you interested. The short version is that the only documentary that really surprised me was Getting There, about the founding of the world of photography. Now, even though Getting There is one of the most interesting documentaries out there and by far it's by far the most telling one, I just found the documentary Getting There more interesting. That's what I was doing with this one. It's not exactly an adventure from start to finish like Getting There, but the journey is an interesting one and the filming of it is very interesting. It takes a while before the actual journey takes place, and as the journey comes to a close, it's so sudden and jarring that it is almost unreal. Even though I really enjoyed this documentary, I don't think it's an entirely solid film. Although the photography is good, and it's very well done, I didn't really think it was an amazing documentary. The story is very slow moving and the entire documentary is sort of slow. It gets tiring and I never really cared about what was going to happen next, unlike Getting There, where I was totally immersed in the story. I also thought the documentary had very little to do with the subject of filmmaking. As mentioned earlier, Getting There was really the most telling documentary out there, and I think it's important to know what that documentary is about and that was it's focus on filmmaking. Getting There basically takes a look at the beginnings of what is now known as the Golden Age of Cinema. As I said, it's not as interesting as Getting There, but the film is a little bit more interesting than Get There. Get There is the documentary about movies and filmmaking. Getting There is about the world of film and the things that the movies say and how films can influence our lives, be the source of inspiration, or just cause change in our lives, and all of that is about the films. The documentaries on these two movies are actually quite similar, and getting through Getting There was a lot more boring than Get There. Getting There is not quite as exciting as Getting There, but it's still interesting enough and at least got a few laughs out of me.

In spite of the title of this doco, it really isn't a documentary, it's more of a narration of a series of interviews, narrated by Kevin Spacey. It consists of interviews with famous people, although some of the individuals that come up are interesting, some of the people are fascinating in different ways. Overall it is a pretty interesting thing, and it is an effective way to introduce the films people. However, there were a few things that bothered me. One of these was the filming style, I thought that it was a little too long for it's intended length. Also, it was somewhat unrealistic, and the actor's dialogue seemed a little forced. It is definitely not an exhaustive or even very comprehensive look at Hollywood. It is more of a detailed look at the films. But it is a worthwhile documentary, and worth a watch.

I've always loved Bill Murray and it was great to see him be himself again. There were a few moments that were hard to watch, but overall, I really enjoyed it. It was very entertaining and it was great to see a documentary on a subject that I've always wanted to know about.

I had the chance to attend the Q&A session at the NYC premiere of this film. As the discussion went on, I realized how deeply and passionately the subject of how the Academy has overlooked the movies of the past several decades. I saw the point being made by the Q&A panelists and then heard the audience applaud. I want to say that I have seen many films in my lifetime and I am always amazed at the sheer audacity of the movie-making process. I don't know anyone who hasn't made a movie or been in the process of making one, and I am sure that many will agree with me that the art form has never been more challenging. But it is what it is, and we can appreciate the many films that have been made that are truly original and deserve recognition. The Academy Awards are a result of the numbers of movies that were made in the past few years. I am sure that there will be a number of films that will be nominated and many will be in the running. The problem is that a lot of the films that were nominated will not be nominated. I have yet to see a film that will be nominated for best picture. I will be looking forward to seeing the nominees, but I would be surprised if there are many that are not in the running. As for me, I would be happy to see a film that was nominated for best picture, even if that film is not nominated for best picture. That is a great honor. I do believe that this film is a true and honest account of the history of film making in Hollywood. It is a must see film for all of us.

This is a very entertaining documentary that is well done. The people interviewed are just like the rest of us, people who are just like you and me. They are not who they appear to be. This is a very interesting documentary that covers a lot of important issues that are not addressed in other documentaries. It's a good documentary that is well worth watching.

A fascinating documentary by film historian John Kober who talked about a lot of the great period in the history of Hollywood. If you are a film historian, this documentary will give you a lot of information about some of the most popular directors of the '30s and '40s including Mickey Rooney, Roy Rogers, and the late Buster Keaton. I think this documentary is fascinating. It is such a fascinating look at an era of Hollywood. Kober does a very good job of showing how the studios were run and what they were trying to make. You will see the rise of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Gene Autry. He also gives you an explanation about what goes into a film when a writer has to make his/her first movie in three months. Also, there are interviews with many of the film makers from the '30s and '40s including the great Oliver Hardy, Howard Hawks, Charles Chaplin, Rod Steiger, and such. If you want to know how Hollywood was like before the '50s, see this documentary.

I agree with the first reviewer on this movie. I saw it on the big screen with my parents. It is a wonderful story of how the world came to be, and how it was influenced by people, places and things that were once the center of world history. It is a great movie and I recommend it highly.

In the 1950s, the human rights of an entire ethnic group became the center of controversy in South Korea. This is a film about the importance of the movie industry in a country with a one-child policy and the rise and fall of one man, the wook Seol-wook. It also deals with the various struggles that exist between individuals within a Korean family. I personally feel that this film makes the viewer feel a sense of the isolation of Korean families and how difficult it can be to live in the midst of it all.

I have seen many documentaries about Hollywood, and I was surprised to find this one to be different. I didn't know what to expect, and I am glad that I did not. I was very impressed with this film. I was shocked at how little it had to do with the famous people and famous movies that we see in the media every day. I think that if we were more informed about the people that make up the Hollywood hierarchy, we would be more informed about the people that make up the industry. The people that have created this movie, and the people that make it are the ones that should be acknowledged. I think that the people who created this movie deserve to be remembered. I think that the movie is a wonderful tribute to the people who created it. I would recommend this movie to everyone.

This documentary is great, and not just because of the information it provides. It is also a very interesting look at the movie industry from the point of view of the people involved. The film does a great job of showing the problems that the film industry is facing, the money that goes into making movies, and the problems that come with having a major film company that controls the entire industry. The film is also very entertaining, with the "mockumentary" style that the film maker is able to use. The film also has a lot of very interesting facts, and is well worth watching.

I must say that I am a film lover and a history buff. I would have enjoyed this film more had it been advertised as being about the history of Hollywood. The people who made the film, all their lives, were either studio executives, writers, directors, actors, etc. So I expected it to be full of entertainment and fun. My disappointment with this film is that it really is not about the history of Hollywood. The interviews were a bit hard to follow at times because of the slowness of the camera, but that was not the point of the film. In this film, you learn that some of the people interviewed have been part of the Hollywood culture for many years. The interviews were mainly done on their deaths and deaths of their close friends. The film did a very good job at showing how Hollywood started out and was only recently cleaned up. Also, it gave a lot of information on what was really popular in Hollywood. This is definitely not the type of film that I would recommend to people who like the history of Hollywood. Also, I must say that the only people who I saw talking about this film were those who were fans of the music. This was a very odd thing for me. I have no interest in music, but the music in this film was awesome. I recommend this film to people who love the history of Hollywood.

I saw this film at the San Francisco Film Festival and it was an amazing experience. This is a documentary about the making of the first Star Wars movie and how George Lucas, a filmmaker with a very limited budget, managed to create a film that has become a cultural phenomenon. In my opinion, this film is the best film of the year so far. It is an incredible look at the production of this film and the process of how it was made. The film features interviews with actors, directors, and producers. It also includes many interviews with people who worked on the film and the people who created it. It is an extremely entertaining film. I highly recommend it.

This movie was so well done that I could watch it at least a dozen times. It is fascinating, well written and the interviews with the filmmakers were really interesting. I really enjoyed the interviews with the directors and the other interviewees were great too. I think everyone should see this movie and I hope that they will make more.

Peter Travers, is a well known and respected film critic and co-host of the wonderful film podcast Starburster. In this interview, Travers explains why he has been diagnosed with MS and explains the exact name of the disease. I have to say this is a very insightful and emotional interview, just as you would expect from Peter Travers. I don't believe that the interview could be any better! Travers is very articulate and very interesting. If you have any interest in film, I think you should listen to this.

This is a must see documentary that explores the history of Hollywood. It's like a history of the world that you never knew existed. You'll learn about the men, women and the movie stars that shaped the movie industry. It's interesting to see that the people who made movies in the early years of Hollywood didn't have any idea what they were making, but they knew how to make it. If you're a fan of the movie industry, you should really watch this documentary. It is fascinating to see how the movie industry was started and the people who worked there. The movie is a great film that shows that the movie industry was a revolution in Hollywood.

I found this documentary to be quite interesting and informative. I thought it was very well done and gave a very accurate representation of the Hollywood of the 1930's. I also enjoyed the fact that it didn't take sides. It didn't criticize or praise one type of movie over another. It just gave a fair assessment of the industry. The documentary also took a look at the effects of the war on the industry, the creative process of the studios, and the Hollywood studio system itself. I thought it was a very accurate representation of the industry and I would recommend this documentary to anyone interested in the industry. I also thought it was interesting to see how the war affected Hollywood in general. I would also recommend this documentary to anyone who wants to see the effects of the war on Hollywood.

I have been a fan of Charlie Chaplin for a very long time, but I was not a fan of him at first. I did not even know that he was a "film critic" at the time I saw his work. I have now seen all of his films and I am amazed by the number of great films he made. This documentary is not just a retrospective on his life, but on the films themselves. Charlie Chaplin is an excellent example of how a person who lived his life as an "ordinary" person can come up with great ideas. The real strength of the film is how it shows the evolution of Charlie Chaplin as a writer and how his "personal obsessions" come to define him as a filmmaker. I also enjoyed how the documentary shows how Chaplin had a "deeper" filmgoing experience than other people. He was interested in the cinema and would sit in front of the screen for hours, waiting for a chance to say something. I really enjoyed this aspect of the film. I really think the documentary should be a huge hit in theaters and I hope people watch it and really get to know Charlie Chaplin.

I saw this movie as part of the annual Screen Actors Guild's Celebration of Excellence, where it was nominated for an Oscar. I have to say that I really enjoyed it. It was a pretty good biopic. I would have liked to see more of the famous people in it, but that was not the movie's focus. There were some good points in the movie, but the biggest part was about the history of the movie industry, and the movie industry's reaction to the JFK assassination. It is a history lesson that is well worth watching. It is very educational and informative, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of Hollywood. It also gives you some good facts about the people involved in the movie industry. It is a must-see.

I saw this film on HBO, and it was a very good movie. The director did a very good job, and the acting was good, although some of the acting was not believable. I was very impressed with the content of this film. It is very realistic, and the subjects of the movie are not just the usual Hollywood crap. I was impressed with the fact that the director made this movie, and the actors did a great job, although the actors were not very believable. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is interested in a documentary about the movies of the 50's, and I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to learn more about the movies of that time.

I am a fan of Kevin Smith and his work. I was very excited when I heard he was doing this. It has been a long time since a film has done justice to the work he has done. The film is an excellent insight into the life of one of the most popular actors in history. I am going to watch it over and over again and I will be watching it again when I get the chance. This film has given me a greater appreciation for Kevin Smith and his work. I have learned more about the life of a man who had such influence in Hollywood. I am so glad that this film is out there for everyone to see. The film does not focus on the movie industry, but more on the life of Kevin Smith and how he has shaped it.

A very well made documentary that gives a very balanced view of the history of Hollywood. I have read all of the comments, and the majority of them are very positive. However, there are a number of negative comments that have been posted that I found very disturbing. These comments seem to have been written by people who are either very upset or very confused about what they saw. I am not a film critic, but I can tell you that I have not seen a documentary that has brought more excitement to me than this one. This is the first film that I have seen that has had such an impact on me as it has on many others. I found the film extremely entertaining and very informative. I am sure that this film will become a classic in the years to come. I hope that all of the people who have posted negative comments will take the time to read the reviews posted before posting them. I would like to point out that the negative comments are not from people who are trying to take away from the positive comments. The negative comments were posted by people who were either confused about what they were watching or from people who have never seen a film before. These people seem to be trying to take away from the positive comments. I think that it is a very good film, and I am sure that it will become a classic in the years to come.

This documentary gives you the entire history of Hollywood and what it was and is. It tells you what a documentary is, and how it was made, and it tells you how it is made. It does it in a way that it is so real that it is entertaining. You watch and you enjoy it. It is a documentary that you can watch again and again and enjoy. The director did an excellent job with this film. It was a great and easy to watch documentary.

I really enjoyed the film, I also saw the film for the first time when it was released and it was the best film I have seen. The subject matter of the film is very interesting. I am a bit of a political scientist so this film is something I have been interested in for a long time. The film shows how a corporation can affect a nation and what the consequences can be. This film is very informative and extremely well put together. This film is a must see for any film lover. I would recommend this film to everyone who has ever wondered what the impact of Hollywood movies and shows have on our culture and history. I give this film a 10/10.

P.T. Barnum was a showman and magician and not to be taken lightly. We watched his life at first hand and his show was more about showmanship and magic rather than talk. Of course there was social and political commentary woven into his life, but there was also a good amount of humor that was played off of how not to work with the wrong crowd. Now you'll see that some of the jokes are old and perhaps even forgotten but overall the film was a lot of fun to watch. It was a fun look at one of history's great showmen and it was entertaining to see what he had accomplished on the screen.

I'm not sure what the audience of this movie was expecting but I think they were expecting a documentary of sorts. I think it is very well made and very informative. I have been a fan of the film for a long time and have watched it many times. The subject matter is very interesting and the film does not go in a straight forward way. I would recommend this film to anyone that is looking for a good look at Hollywood history.

The reason I chose to watch this movie was because it is an "independent" movie, and it is obviously made by a small group of people. There were a few comments that I found interesting, but mostly I found it boring and somewhat slow. The way the movie was shot and edited was pretty well done, but the story was mostly slow and drawn out. I found myself getting very bored. I know that there are a lot of independent movies that are interesting, but for some reason I just didn't feel the same way about this one. I don't know what the reason was. The ending of the movie was a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't very well done. I found the movie to be slightly interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This movie is the best movie I have ever seen, and I have seen thousands. I am in love with this movie and I am so glad I did not see it when it first came out, because I am very sick and tired of seeing movies that are garbage and get worse with each passing year. This movie is just amazing and makes you think that if you could make something that was better than this one. I love the fact that they did not have to use any of the Hollywood actors to show the lives of the people of Hollywood. It was amazing to see what they did to get the stories of the people that they had been covering. The movie is very inspiring and the people of Hollywood are portrayed in such a wonderful way that you feel that you are living their lives. If you are looking for a movie that will make you feel like you are part of the history of the world and that you can be proud of and want to tell your children about, then this is the movie for you. The people that are in the movie are so incredible, and the movie is so great that I am still in awe of it, and I think that everyone should see it. I think that you should also see this movie because it shows that no matter what the cost, if you want to make something better than this movie, then do it, and you will be happy that you did. I am going to go see it again, and I am going to be so excited to see the people that were in this movie again.

If you have ever wanted to see a documentary that covers the history of Hollywood, this is it. I personally enjoyed the film more than I thought it would be due to the excellent writing and the excellent photography. As a Hollywood fan myself, I loved the idea of seeing the history of the industry as it was. I think that most people who go to see the film are not familiar with the history of Hollywood at all. This film is very informative, and is the only film that I can recommend to people that don't know anything about Hollywood, or are new to it. I think that the film is a great way to learn about the history of Hollywood. It will make you appreciate what Hollywood was like and how it changed and evolved over the years. I would highly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in seeing the history of Hollywood, or who wants to learn more about the industry.

Great documentaries, excellent performances. The true story behind how the movie industry started. It was awesome! It really made me want to become a movie critic!

*SPOILERS* I'm not going to give anything away, but this movie was very well done. In fact, this movie may have been better than the book. There were a few things that I didn't like, but for the most part I thought this movie was very well done. I think the movie made it more realistic that it would have been if the movie didn't exist. I think that this movie shows how important the movies were to the culture of Hollywood, and the importance of the stars that were in the movie. I think this movie was definitely a good one, and it's certainly one of my top five. I hope that there will be a sequel to this movie. As for the book, I don't think it will be made into a movie, but I'm sure that there will be a sequel. I hope that they will use the same director, because I think that they would do a great job. This movie has a great cast. I think that Tom Hanks is amazing in this movie. He definitely is the best choice to play Captain Kirk, because he is very likable. So, I think that he is definitely one of the best choices for the role. The best part about this movie is the characters. I think that all of the actors are really great. I think that they played their roles very well. I think that they were very believable. I think that they were very good actors. The acting is very good. So, I think that it is a very good movie. I think that it's a very good movie.

This documentary was done with such passion and care by a true storyteller, it is definitely one of the best I've ever seen. I thought the acting was great, especially the young man who played Steve McQueen, he was absolutely amazing. The history behind the film is interesting and the characters are well portrayed, the film has a great plot and I loved the characters and the actors. The documentary was very well done and definitely worth watching.

This is a brilliant documentary. It is a great insight into the history of Hollywood. It also has a lot of information that is not usually available. It is very informative, and it is very entertaining. The movie is very well done, and the information is presented in an interesting way. It is very well researched. The cast of this movie is very good, and there is no one that I would not want to see in it. The best part of the movie is the information that is given. If you are a fan of any of the major actors or actresses, you should definitely see this movie. I am giving this movie a 9 out of 10, because it is very entertaining and very informative.

I have a great love for movies and love to learn. I have been fortunate to have been exposed to so many great movies through television and the movies in the theatre. This film is absolutely one of the best documentaries I have seen. It tells the story of how Hollywood has been made. They take a look at the "Golden Age" of Hollywood and how the movies came about. It's very inspiring. If you love movies, this is the movie for you.

This documentary does not touch on many of the major events that happened in Hollywood in the '50's and the '60's. Instead, it focuses on the ups and downs that movie producers had to go through during the Hollywood boom period. The filming of this film really isn't a big topic. It's all about the money, and the risks, and the weather, and the people that worked on the film. While it's good to see some of the people behind the scenes, it does make you feel bad for the people behind the scenes. It's nice to see that Michael Douglas is back in a major film role and Ben Affleck is starting to get a lot of press. However, even with the good points, I still felt like this documentary was very lacking. I was constantly left feeling that I needed to have been in Hollywood during this period. It was not nearly as interesting as I had hoped it would be. I understand that some people have their own opinions about the Hollywood boom period, but I don't think this documentary should be a stand alone piece. I think the other documentaries, including the one by Jeff F. Martin, should have been the start for this documentary. Even though this documentary has its flaws, it still is very worth a watch.

The only documentary that could be made on the history of the film industry. As a filmmaker I'm not qualified to make such a documentary. I am a film lover and a fan of Hollywood. I just got back from the South Hall of Fame in Chicago and saw it again. This is not a documentary, it is a celebration of Hollywood. You will love it. As a filmmaker you will love it. This documentary will show you the history of film, the inspiration and the pain. It will show you what is behind the scenes and how it affects the people. The best documentary of all time. 10/10

Robert Altman is the cinematic godfather of the nineties, and for good reason. He was a master of composition in the '40s, and has never been better. In the 1960s he worked with director Federico Fellini to write the "Romeo and Juliet" story, and he helped bring the future of Hollywood to life. This is his most fascinating and engaging film, though I didn't always get what it was trying to do. I was thinking that it was making fun of those who were going to the movies, but the movie was not about that. It was about a couple of millionaires (Nicol Williamson and Spencer Tracy) who wanted to make money in Hollywood, but they were also ambitious. They were both business men and wanted to make money. They were the first two people to go on the set of a big Hollywood movie in the '40s. It was their first movie, and they were known as the "Bourne Gang." When they came back in the '60s, they came back in style. They were still working on the business side of things, but they had grown to like Hollywood and wanted to make it the most successful it could be. They wanted to make sure that it was a commercial success. They started to make movies around this time, and that's when they started to do the "Bourne" movies. It was to make sure that the audience was taken away from the theater and taken to the home with a story of someone who was trying to make his money. There was an innocence in the characters in this movie, because there was a "gotcha" moment, and they were willing to make fun of them. It was the beginning of Hollywood taking themselves too seriously. The "Bourne" movies were one of the best things that Hollywood did for a while. There was always something to look at, and I've always liked that. I liked the music, and the idea that the characters were kind of in a state of suspended animation. It was a very dark time, and that's why it was so good. They were always trying to make a lot of money, but also the characters were always trying to make a lot of money. This movie was really about trying to make money and having fun. The films that I think that it's best to watch are "Bourne," "Brick" (1971), "The Last Picture Show" (1952), and "Romeo and Juliet." If you love movies that take themselves too seriously, this is not the movie for you. But if you like movies that are entertaining and make you think, this is the movie for you.

I'm not sure what to make of this documentary. There are a lot of good points to this documentary, but the story of this documentary is very thin. The information given is mostly made up of quotes from some of the actors and directors, and a few scenes from other movies, which are nothing more than small bits of information. So basically, this is a great documentary for people who are interested in the history of Hollywood, but is not very well thought out. I do not understand the need to make a film about a movie that was not made in the U.S. The film is not even that great because it does not contain any information about the movies that were made in the U.S. The DVD is completely free of commercials and any other kind of advertising, and it comes with a great interview with the director of the movie, and some other interesting information about the movie. But I do not see why you would want to see this documentary unless you are interested in the history of Hollywood.

Spoilers - This is an entertaining documentary. But it is very important to understand that while it is excellent at giving a good overview of the issues, it fails to take a critical look at Hollywood and the Hollywood production machine. I am going to go with a more radical view than many. This documentary is not at all about what is really wrong with the industry. It is rather a critique of the reason behind the industry. I think that most people have this misconception that it is all about the money and the exploitation of talent. In fact, it is not just about the money. It is about the money. This is not a movie that shows the "right" side of the industry, or the "wrong" side. It shows that the money is what drives the entire industry. Most people are just looking for a way to make a buck and many will go to extreme lengths to achieve it. Even if they think that they are being honest about the industry, they are really not. It is a psychological game. This documentary makes a good attempt at showing the impact of the money. The documentary does not blame the money for anything, but rather what it can do to the human psyche. But this is a very small part of what the industry does to the people. The Hollywood machine is driven by a man in a suit. The money drives the money. And the money does not do what the machine wants. The machines do what they think will make the money more, and the machines make sure that people are so inured to the system that they do not have any idea of the extent to which it has corrupted the human psyche. The documentary shows how they have done this. The problem is that they show the machines. They are not doing what the machines do. They are not even doing what the machine does. They are simply the machines that the machines created. I think that this is a very important and really good film to watch. It is more about the machine than the machine. It is not a film about what the machine is, but rather what the machine does. And that is what it is doing. But it is a very good documentary, and a really good film, not because it shows what the machine is doing, but rather what the machine does.

This film is a good one to watch and listen to. While not being a film that you will be talking about for a long time, it is a great one to watch and listen to. I was surprised that the film wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It certainly deserves it. It is a good film about film making, not about the films themselves but about the films' makers. I was amazed at how different the techniques of film making were in different countries. I would have loved to have seen the story about the woman who developed the computer for the film and how it changed film making forever. I have heard some pretty interesting stories about people who have used the computer in the film. The film's producer, though, I think, was being a little overly negative. It is not as if this film was only made for the sake of making money. The film was made as a tribute to people who used technology in the movie making process. The film's producer is actually someone who understands the people who made the film. I think that the film would have been better with the film producer's background in film making rather than some newcomer. I think that this would have been more true to the real world of film making than the documentary style film that this film was made. This film would have been better served if it had had more of a documentary feel to it. This film also seemed to have a "Jaws" feel to it. It seemed to me that the director did a good job of showing the film making process. It was interesting to see how different film making techniques were used in different countries. While the film is not an action packed film, it is definitely a film that you will want to watch several times. I thought that the film was well done and would recommend it to anyone who likes to watch film.

This movie is a real eye opener. The movie starts off showing the early years of the history of Hollywood and the huge influence that the film industry has had on the lives of many people. But the real heart of this documentary is the interviews with the people that were involved in the creation of the film. In the interviews they talk about the fact that they were just trying to make a movie that was entertaining and fun. They didn't really know what they were doing or what the movie was supposed to be. They just wanted to make a movie that was entertaining. So the movie is a testament to the people that made the movie and the people that made the movie. I loved the way that the movie kept the viewer interested and fascinated with the true story behind the creation of the movie. The documentary is so entertaining and so interesting that I recommend it to anyone that is interested in Hollywood. This movie will give you a real insight to what the people that were involved in the making of this movie were going through. So I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone that is interested in the history of the movie industry.

I saw this film last night and I was very impressed. I was also surprised by the length. It was an hour and a half long. That is a long time to spend with a film. I would have liked to see more of the characters, but that was part of the whole idea of the film. It is not about a group of people going through a dramatic change, it is about the personal lives of a group of people who make a dramatic change. It is also a documentary, but one that does not tell a story, but rather takes a look at the personal lives of a group of people who make a dramatic change. I think this film is very well done. I have always been interested in the history of Hollywood, but this film really did a good job of getting me to think about the people that made the change and the people that influenced them. I was very impressed. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes documentaries about Hollywood. It is a good film that does not take a lot of time to watch.

This is an excellent documentary about a person who is a legend in the film industry, and is most definitely not to be missed. It is a fascinating story about the rise and fall of James Cameron, who is not only the most successful director of all time, but also one of the most controversial and controversial people. It is also a great story about the legend of George Lucas, who has been working in the film industry for many years and is one of the most successful and influential people in the industry. The movie is a must see for anyone who is interested in film and the movies. It is a story about a man who has been a legend for a very long time, and is certainly not to be missed.

There are two types of people who will enjoy this movie. First, there are those who will be moved by the story of a man who lived through the period of Hollywood and who did not have a lot of money and was forced to do the best he could with what he had. Second, there are those who will enjoy the history of Hollywood itself. What I found interesting was that this movie is very much like a documentary. The director, Peter Medak, is very good at making a film that is both factual and artistic. I think that this movie is very informative and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of Hollywood.

This film was a really nice introduction to the world of making movies. It was a pleasure to see how the Hollywood industry has changed over the years. I hope that more documentaries like this one will be made that examine the movie industry. This film also is a great way to learn about the history of the film industry and the people who make movies.

This documentary is a must-see for those of us who love the history of Hollywood. It goes into great detail about the production of films and the great directors who helped to bring us those movies. I particularly liked the movie reel for each movie. It was so fun to see the great directors that worked on the classics of the 1930s and 40s. The film was interesting and entertaining. I think it's one of the best documentaries I've seen. It was especially interesting to see how the process of making movies and how the film-makers worked in their offices. I think it was a great documentary for anyone who wants to know the history of the movies. I give it an 8 out of 10.

If you are a fan of Hollywood movies, then this documentary is for you. It is an interview with Mr. John Cameron Mitchell, the man who brought us the brilliant 'Pirates of the Caribbean' trilogy. He discusses his personal life and the themes of the movie, as well as his thoughts on Hollywood. The documentaries aspect of this film is really great, as it is a whole different experience from the film itself. The film itself is very dark and violent, but it is also very funny and fun. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a documentary on movies, and a whole different experience from the film itself. I give it a 10 out of 10.

I am usually not a fan of the documentary genre but I enjoyed this one a lot. It was well-made and it was a little slow at times but that is what documentary films are about. I think that the people who didn't like it didn't like the subject matter but the documentary was fascinating. I am just glad that there was someone who had the courage to film the film and not take it back and take it away from the film maker. I think that the film should have been made with more than just the five of them in the film. The 5 of them were the best part of the film. I would recommend it to anyone who likes history or documentary films.

There are a lot of people who give Ben Stiller a bad rap for his lack of creativity. Ben is a great story teller and has a unique way of telling the stories he tells. This is not his first documentary about Hollywood. He has made a documentary about some of the most famous and talented directors who were involved in the making of movies. This documentary is a must see if you are a movie fan and you enjoy learning a little more about the filmmaking process.

This movie highlights the Hollywood studio system, the division of movie making, and the fact that Hollywood today has become a kind of tawdry oligarchy, where it's good to be a director if you can convince a studio to give you a movie on their terms. It also highlights how it is possible to get people who have been in the industry long enough to accept anything as long as they think they are in the right line of business. In my opinion, this film is a really well made, and informative documentary about the workings of a film studio. I thought it was well structured, and a great amount of information was presented, yet not very much was left out. My only criticism is that I feel that it is very very long. The entire film clocks in at over three hours. I would have liked to see a little more of this information added, but I did like that it gave a lot of insight to the people involved, and why they did what they did. Overall, I thought the documentary was really well done. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to learn a little more about the workings of a studio.

The movie, "Bud and Gilda: Hollywood's Sexiest Couples", is not a documentary. It is a film chronicling the evolution of Bud and Gilda, and their marriage. It is the story of how the couple became the stars of Hollywood, and how their relationship, which is almost nonexistent outside of the movies, shaped the lives of the people around them. The movie does not aim to present a history of the relationship. It focuses on the people, and the times that shaped the relationship, and the times that shaped their careers. Bud and Gilda are both very famous, and their story is well known. In the movie, the couple is presented as they were when they were younger, and they were married when they were middle-aged. This creates a sense of realism to the movie. The movie is not perfect, however. The relationship between Bud and Gilda is not explored at all. The movie also focuses on the old footage of the couple, which is not very informative. The movie also fails to focus on the way the relationship shaped the lives of the people around them. This is because the relationship is not much discussed in the movie. The movie also fails to cover the music industry, and the way that the couple created their own music. Overall, this movie is an interesting look at the life of Bud and Gilda. However, it is not a great movie. Bud and Gilda: Hollywood's Sexiest Couples, is a movie that is much better suited to an audience that is more knowledgeable about the movie, and is better suited to those that are already familiar with the couple's history.

The documentary "Doc Johnson: The Making of the Marvelous Doc" was put together by the legendary director Robert Wise for the Library of Congress. It is a wonderful insight into Doc's life and his struggles in trying to make a living. The fact that the director was not available for an interview was an advantage. He speaks of the difficulties of creating a film with an entirely foreign subject and adapting it for a theatrical release. There is a lot of praise for the photography and effects. The documentary does not feel overly self-important, or even jaded. It does not dwell on Doc's faults. The documentary's very title is a phrase that translates to "the power of the master". It is fitting that the documentary title refers to one of Doc's greatest weaknesses, his low self-esteem. The documentary is definitely worth watching. It will remind you of Doc's greatness, but also his failings.

What a fascinating look at the making of an infamous movie, a controversial topic. It's fascinating to see how some of the stars went from doing silent movies to feature films. It's also interesting to see how the great directors like Richard Lester and George Roy Hill struggled with the subject matter. This is a very good documentary on how movies were made during the silent era. One of the highlights is how many of the actors and actresses did not have any money and therefore had to take jobs on the set to make ends meet. This is a very important and fascinating story.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, there was a period of great change in the music business, but one that was unfortunately marked by a decline in the quality of film. The decline of the films that were being made and the corresponding decline in the films that were being made were almost a foregone conclusion. This film does a wonderful job of summarizing the history of Hollywood in its many eras. It gives a clear, concise, and accurate picture of the history of the film industry. It does a good job of conveying the history of film through the director, the studio head, the producer, the actors, and the director, and it does a good job of presenting a more complete picture of the history of the film industry. It is the one film that I think anyone who has any interest in film history should see. I think anyone who is interested in the history of film should see this film.

I saw this film in a theater in the mid-1980s, and it was the first film I had seen that really made me realize how the industry was run. I have seen a lot of films over the years, but this one was the most shocking, and one that I will never forget. It made me realize that a lot of people are involved in this business, and how they are paid. I would have to say that the most shocking part of this film is the way that the film makers had to rely on the information they got from the people they were filming. It was quite a shock to find out that these people were only paid for what they would do for their government. One of the people in the film was very upset when he found out that the people he was filming were not being paid, and was not being allowed to do any interviews. I was also very surprised when the government did not want to be filmed, and would not let the crew to go anywhere near the front of the government building. This is a very good documentary, and should be on everyone's list of films to see. I would recommend it to anyone.

The documentary is a fantastic exploration of the business of Hollywood and how it has evolved over the years. It shows how the movie business has changed over time, and how much it has changed over the years. There are many interviews with industry professionals, and people who have worked in the business, and the documentary also includes many interesting tidbits and details. It is a great documentary for people who are interested in Hollywood history and how the movie business has changed over the years.

This documentary is simply outstanding, and it was a pleasure to see this subject matter discussed. The film is well-written, well-filmed, and has some great archival footage. I had heard that there was a big controversy over the meaning of "The Birth of a Nation," but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that there was absolutely no controversy. It was actually a very interesting and thought-provoking documentary. I can't understand how the critics can have so much difficulty with it. It's very well-made, and it really got to me. I've seen it on the History Channel, and I will definitely be getting the DVD.

This documentary is good for one thing: to make you think. It's a well-researched overview of the history of Hollywood and its people, but it also manages to be very entertaining. It is just about Hollywood, of course, and it's a very, very interesting topic. But the film also manages to be very funny and it's just an all around great film. It's not a documentary, but it's not a very, very serious documentary either. It's just about Hollywood and the people that made it, and it's a very entertaining film. There are some really funny moments, and it's really a fun watch. It's also really well made. The film is very well edited, with lots of interviews and lots of information. It's a very interesting film and it's a really good documentary. I highly recommend it. It's also really, really entertaining. It's a really great film, and it's a really great film. It's really good. It's really really good.

I saw this documentary the other day and I have to say it was well worth it. It is a very well put together and well paced film that is a good watch for those who love the history of film. I really enjoyed it. This documentary is a must see for everyone who loves history. It is about a great film that is very often overlooked. It is also about a great man who is often overlooked. It is about the craft that film makers have been using to make films for over 100 years and the people that are responsible for this craft. It is also about a great director, a great writer, a great actor, and a great director that has a great passion for his craft. I would also like to mention the documentary has a lot of great footage of some great films that were made in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. It is also about some of the great directors that have worked in the industry for a long time and also about a great actor who has a passion for the craft. The documentary is very well put together and well paced. It is also a very well put together film and I think that anyone who loves history will really enjoy it.

I saw the movie in the theater and was very impressed with the unique story. The reason for seeing it in the theater is because I had a chance to see the movie again at a nearby theater and had to see it again. I was also very impressed with the acting of Michael Cera, who I thought was a great actor. I thought the actors in the movie were very well cast. The only reason I didn't give it an 8 was that it was a little slow at times. I thought the story and the movie were very compelling. I would recommend this movie to anyone. If you are interested in movies, then I would recommend this movie.

The documentary, which is basically a series of interviews with actors, directors, writers, producers, and others involved in the production of the film, is one of the best films I've ever seen. It's a great look at what goes on behind the scenes of a film. The interviews are so fascinating and informative, I can't help but want to learn more. It's definitely worth seeing.

I watched this on HBO a few weeks ago and was really impressed. The production values are top notch, with a great look to the production. I found the entire thing interesting, and the acting superb. I thought that Johnny Depp was a great choice for the role of the crazy filmmaker, because he is always very charming, and he is a good actor. The documentary is very well done, with a lot of great quotes from the director, as well as interviews with some of the people involved. It is a great documentary, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in the subject of film. I give it an 8/10.

I was surprised at the lack of enthusiasm from the critics. Sure, I agree that the movie was a bit predictable. But it was entertaining and I had a good time. I liked the way the movie ended, although I was surprised that it was only an hour long. There was a lot of time to develop the characters and the story, which was good. I also enjoyed the interviews with the stars of the movie, the history of the movie studio, and the film industry in general. I have seen "Making Of" documentaries before but this one was better because it was more personal. I would definitely recommend this movie.

I saw this documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. It is an interesting and engaging documentary about the film industry, Hollywood and its legacy. It is a kind of history lesson on how the film industry was born, why it was born and what it means to us. It is a pretty fun documentary about Hollywood, the film industry, the people who were involved in it, and how it affected the people who were involved in it. The subject matter is not very exciting, but the documentary is definitely worth seeing.

After a couple of years in which I had not seen a documentary, I was so glad to see this one. It was a great presentation of the history of the film industry and the people who made it. It was informative and full of great information, from the films that were made by the first Hollywood studios to the studios that were now becoming independent. Some of the information was new to me, but I still enjoyed the movie and learned a lot about the history of the film industry. I would recommend this film to anyone who has ever been a fan of Hollywood.

An interesting, informative and entertaining documentary that shows the often-overlooked role of Hollywood in shaping a nation's culture. It also explores how the history of Hollywood has changed over time. "I think that we are living in a golden age of film," says writer and director James Franco, "and we are now seeing that Hollywood is not going to go away. Hollywood is going to continue to produce great films, and great actors, and great stories." We see a great deal of different kinds of film, but we see the same things - family, friendship, love, revenge, revenge, love, drama, tragedy, and comedy. The stories are the same - The Wizard of Oz, The Wizard of Lies, The Wizard of OZ, etc. The actors, the director, and the crew all have a lot to say. The documentary is mostly a love letter to the industry. It doesn't pretend to be anything else. It just does what it says on the tin, and the results are really great. The documentary is especially good for those who enjoy cinema and have a love of films. If you're not into that sort of thing, I'd recommend you go see it. For me, I liked it, but it's not for everyone. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have to say that this film is very impressive, it was not easy to make the film look as good as it did, especially as the editing is not as smooth as I would have liked. However, I think that the most impressive thing about the film is the real life interviews of the actual people that were involved in the making of the film. I also like that this film was really about the stars and not about the director. I am not a big fan of directors and have only seen one or two of their films, but I really enjoyed this film. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to know more about the making of the film.

I would say this is a must-see documentary for all ages. I would say the documentary is extremely well done, although I did not understand the narrator's part of the film. I think it would have been more interesting to have the movie without the narration. It was very important to the story that the narrator was there and showed the director and actors. This makes the story more real and makes the audience feel more connected to the story. However, I did not understand the purpose of the narration and felt it was unnecessary and really made the movie less interesting. I think it would have been better if the narration was removed. However, this movie is definitely worth the watch. It is very interesting and a must-see.

When I first heard of this film, I was skeptical of it. What I thought was that it was going to be a very boring documentary, and it was. I can honestly say that this documentary is the most entertaining documentary I have ever seen. I found it very entertaining, and I loved it. The majority of the film is about the history of the movie industry and how it was shaped in Hollywood. The people who were involved in the making of these movies, and how they got to be famous, are extremely interesting. The fact that the majority of the people involved in the movie industry were white, as well as the fact that most of the people involved in the movie industry were white, were both very interesting and very entertaining. I think that if you are interested in the history of the movie industry, and you like documentaries, you should watch this one.

This is a fascinating look at the making of a film. It is quite funny, but not really funny. I have never seen a documentary on film making, but it is quite fascinating and very well done. The film does a good job of explaining why a film was made and who was involved in the making of the film. I would recommend this to anyone interested in film making, especially if you are not a film expert. It is worth watching. The film does a good job of showing the process of making a film.

I watched this documentary without any preconceptions about it and I was pleasantly surprised. The very first thing I noticed was that the doc did not include the sort of people that I associate with the general public. A lot of the conversations were with men with high level positions. At first I was a little nervous about this but I am glad that it was done. I believe that the doc is really focusing on the human element of the people who are giving their time to a documentary. I felt that the two main individuals were good at what they did and so was the doc team. It's a very interesting documentary and I really think that it's well worth seeing.

Lenny's story is an interesting one. He grew up in a home which was full of love and care for all members of the family. The family home was decorated with dolls and a wall full of pictures of children's stories and life experiences. I found it interesting to hear how his family developed, and the story was brought to life in an interesting way. I found it was a bit hard to follow, and I would recommend that you not see this film if you have a history with Lenny. It is a little too complicated and takes a lot of time to understand. I'm sure that there are many stories behind Lenny and his life and that his family have many stories and histories. However, if you do have a history with Lenny and want to see this movie, I would suggest you read the book, which has many details about Lenny's life. It is very interesting to learn about Lenny and his family.

I was skeptical about this documentary. I saw the trailer, and it looked like it would be a boring documentary about the people who have always been in Hollywood. It wasn't that I didn't like the movie or the concept of the movie, but I just didn't feel that this movie would be interesting. Well, after watching this documentary, I'm glad that I went and saw it. It's not that interesting, but it's not boring. It's actually interesting, because it shows the people behind the scenes of what Hollywood is. It shows that they are not all that different from the rest of us. It shows how much they care about what they are doing and how much they give to their work. The director of this documentary was also an assistant director for one of the movies that I liked the most, and he also did a great job at showing the people behind the scenes. I think that this documentary is definitely a must see.

I saw this documentary on the Sci-Fi channel and I'm glad I did. The movie itself is a good one, but it was so good because of the interviews with people who were involved with the film. The documentary is a great look at the industry and the people involved. I hope that this documentary gets made into a full length film. I recommend this to anyone who loves the film industry. I'm glad that this film was made and hope that it gets made into a full length film. I also want to say that this documentary is really good because it shows the best of what the industry is all about.

It was a nice and enjoyable film. I agree with the other reviews that it was more of a documentary than a documentary. I think the main point was that the true history of Hollywood is not what we think it was. It was a very unique and interesting place to be, and I don't think it would have survived without the talent and hard work of those who came before. I thought the acting was good and the documentary was interesting. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Hollywood history.

I've always been a fan of Woody Allen. I've always admired him for his ability to write, direct and produce. His films have always been popular, and the films that he has directed have been widely acclaimed. The film is a wonderful look at the life of one of the greatest film makers of all time. The film is an excellent insight into his life, and it shows how his films have been viewed, and his career. It is a great film and I highly recommend it.

This documentary is a very good introduction to the history of Hollywood. It goes into detail about the many films that were produced in the early 1900's, and how they were influenced by Hollywood. It is very interesting to see how the history of Hollywood is changing with time, as the studios become more and more independent. It is a great film, with some great information on how the studios have changed. It is a very interesting look into how Hollywood has changed over time. It is not a documentary, but more of a history lesson. This film is very good. The DVD is also very good. It has an amazing special feature that includes interviews with many famous people. It also has great extras that are not on the DVD, like a trailer for the film, and a full length featurette. This is a great film, and I highly recommend it.

I watched this movie last night with my wife, and we both felt the same way about it as we did about the documentary about Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. It was a very good documentary, with great photography and great sound. I was glad to see the link between the real history of the studios and the movies they made. I thought that the fact that they had to spend a lot of time to document this, was a good thing, because if they had spent more time making movies, they would have made better movies. The main story is about the real history of the studios, and how much they were in debt to the studio's owner. They spent so much money to make the studios what they are today, and now the studios are falling apart. We saw a lot of money wasted on making movies that were made in the 1920s and 30s, but most of the money was spent on making the movies themselves. In the end, this movie made me very happy. I felt like I was watching a history class, and learning about what made the studios what they are today. It made me feel good to know that Hollywood still makes good movies, and it will continue to make good movies.

Funny, engaging and informative documentary. This movie is an excellent example of how people in Hollywood worked together to make their careers. The interviews are mostly with people in their fifties and sixties, but the interviews are also with people who were in their forties, fifties, and sixties. Some people interviewed were very funny and some were just as fascinating as they were informative. The movie is based on a book by Roger Ebert, who is a big fan of Hollywood. The film is well-made, the interviews are interesting and the movie keeps you interested. I recommend this film for everyone.

As a long time fan of this film, I can't say I've ever seen a documentary like this one. What the filmmakers do with this film is take it on its own terms. It's a film about movies, and the people that made them. And as a result, you can't help but get a little bit of a nostalgic feeling watching it. One of the things that makes this film so special is that it's so personal. You get to see the process of making a movie and you get to see how the actors actually felt during the shoot. The director is an extremely talented guy and it's a shame that he didn't get the recognition he deserves for his work here. In fact, the entire cast is very good, especially with the exception of Ethan Hawke. He plays his part well but he's not a great actor. He's okay but not great. His best performance in this movie comes from watching him play the part of the lead character. The rest of the cast also does a very good job. The music is very good as well. There are some really good songs and some really bad songs. The cinematography is also very good and the camera work is also great. Overall, this is a great documentary. It is a little bit too personal and you get to see the people behind the scenes of what's going on in Hollywood. It's not the best documentary out there but it's a good documentary.

This is a good documentary and well worth your time. However, I was a little disappointed that there was no explanation as to why there are so many "dilute" movies out there. I also felt that the documentary missed out on some great films. As it is, this is an excellent and interesting documentary, with lots of great facts and interviews. However, as a documentary, it left me with a feeling of not really knowing why so many movies have such a low rating. The only real question that I had was "why do so many people like the movies that are so low rated?"

I don't know why this movie didn't get a wider release, but it's worth seeing. We learn about the history of Hollywood, including the deaths of several key people. The documentary also includes interviews with some of the key players, including the director of "A Sound of Thunder." I think the biggest shocker is that the most prominent man in the industry, Milius, was actually a villain, until he started giving himself to the government. This was a very sad and sad story, and I think it's important to see that this man gave his life for the nation, but his personal life was very selfish. I think the best part of the movie is that it's from a very well-informed source, so you learn a lot about the Hollywood elite, and their reasons for doing what they did. I was really impressed with the sound quality, and how well they shot the movie. The only problem was that the movie was very long, and the interviews didn't go very deep into the history of Hollywood, and it would have been nice if there had been more of them. The only other problem I had with the movie was the ending, which was a bit of a letdown. I think that the film makers could have made the ending more interesting and emotional, but the way it ended was just a little too depressing. It was more of a "Dazed and Confused" ending, than a "An American Carol" ending. Overall, I thought it was a very interesting look into the history of Hollywood, and the people that have influenced it. I would definitely recommend seeing it.
