| Cheers to Alex Gibney (Oscar winner
for Taxi to the Dark Side) for not screwing up this
mesmerizing documentary about the people, places and
substances that altered the mind and battered heart
of the Kentucky-born inventor of gonzo journalism.
Johnny Depp, who paid for the 2005 funeral in which
Thompson's ashes were fired out of a cannon, narrates
with just the right mix of awe and impertinence. Tom
Wolfe, illustrator Ralph Steadman and Rolling Stone
editor and publisher Jann S. Wenner check in on navigating
the blurred line between fact and fiction that marked
Thompson's landmark writing. Family, including son
Juan, fill us in on life with the man who declared,
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence
or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for
me." The photos, audiotapes and home movies hit
hardest because they bring Hunter back. "This
won't hurt," he wrote in his suicide note. For
those of us who miss the heat of his fear and loathing
and the holes he shot into hypocrisy on and off the
campaign trail, it hurts plenty. |

| MONGOL illuminates the life and legend
of Genghis Khan. Based on leading scholarly accounts
and Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing
early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin
in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous
childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the
film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future
conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of
hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and
visionary leader. Mongol shows us the making of an
extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so
much of his greatness rested: his relationship with
his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted
advisor. |

| OK, last weekend was truely the last
weekend for this beautiful, wonderful, life affirming
gem. But y'all just keep responding, so let's not
leave anyone out---one last weekend it says here,
July 26 and 27. Really. Prepare to be entertained
by the inspiring individuals of Young@Heart, a New
England senior citizens' chorus that has delighted
audiences worldwide with their covers of songs by
everyone from The Clash to Coldplay. As Stephen Walker's
documentary begins, the retirees, led by their strict
musical director, are rehearsing their new show, struggling
with a discordant Sonic Youth number and giving new
meaning to James Brown's "I Feel Good."
What ultimately emerges is a funny and unexpectedly
moving testament to friendship, creative inspiration,
and reaching beyond expectations. |
