They Shall Not Grow Old Trailer

There is a very interesting documentary I want to see, They Shall Not Grow Old.  This documentary is about what it was like to be a soldier during World War One, the Great War.  It was directed by Peter Jackson.  They use real footage and audio from 100 years ago and restored/colorized it.  You can see the trailer > here or below.  The film was all ready shown in the UK.  Have read it will be in select theaters on December 17 and 27.  Not sure if will be be were I live.  Will have to keep and eye out when it comes to disc.  May be even Netflix will have it.  That would be nice.

The Oral History Of Image Comics

A few post back talked about AMC’s documentary series, Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics.  Have watched the first three episodes of that and it’s really good.   Have discovered another new comic book related documentary.  Which is called The Oral History of Image Comics.  It was made by the people of the website SYFY Wire.com.  Have never heard about this site until I see a link to the doc on FaceBook.  Have not watched this five part series yet.  Plan to soon.  Know a little bit about Image Comics.  It was created by big named artists to allow them to keep control over the own works.  Think they are most famous for Spawn and The Walking Dead.  You can watch the documentary series > here.

A LEGO Brickumentary Review

Had to check out the documentary, A LEGO Brickumentary after seeing it reviewed on EP Daily.   Everyone knows LEGO is awesome and more than likely have some or did.  This documentary covers a lot of ground in the huge world that revolves around LEGO.  They start with some history which is really interesting.  Take a look inside the company.  They the rest which is the best parts.  Are talking to people who use it for so many different applications.   There are people who use it for art or architecture.  Others for therapy or fun.  Pretty much everything has a convention.  Turns out there are many just about LEGO.  It is amazing to see what people can make.

Have to say this is a really good documentary.  Like all good ones they only have some much time.  Would like to seen more.  One other thing I would like them to talked about would have been the video games.  Understand why they don’t.  It is the story of the toy itself.  Do recommended watching this documentary.  It is for anyone and everyone.  You can check out the trailer  > here if you are interested.

AWOLNATION – Documentary

As you many or many not know I like a bunch of songs from AWOLNATION.  While looking at some things on RedBull.tv.  Discovered there is a mini documentary.  Most talking about how they got to were they are now. Up to the point before the new album, called Run, come out.  Gave it a watch and it was pretty interesting.  If you want to check it out you can see it > here on the RedBull TV site.  All so found someone put it on YouTube.  Not sure how long that will stay up. But > here is the link and its all so below.

I Am Sturgis: The Movie

The people behind the awesome motorcycle documentary, Why We Ride are back with a new project in the works.  The new project is called I Am Sturgis.  2015 marks the 75th anniversary the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.   Think this is the biggest and most famous motorcycle rally.  So the film makers will be there.  They will be making the documentary in the same vain as Why We Ride.  But just at Sturgis.  Which will be great to watch.  Just like their last one you can help out by their Kick Starter Page > here.  Think it is a very cool idea.  It is set to come out next summer.  Hope they get all the funding because I would like to see it.  If you haven’t seen Why We Ride it is well worth you time checking out.  The best motorcycle documentary I have ever seen.

On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter Review

Have been waiting a very long time to watch On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter.  First was going to buy in off of Amazon.ca.  That had a listing it would be out February 10, 2015.  Went to order it on the tenth but the site said, “it would ship within 2 to 5 weeks”.   Later found a different listing saying it would be out March 3, 2015.  So on the third tried to order it and the same thing was there.  This pissed me off.  Ended up renting it off of the Google Play Store.’

Am glad I only rented this because it was a big let down.  It wasn’t very entertaining or interesting.  There is some good bits in there but that’s it.  They do some nods to the first documentary.  How ever they felt out of place.  Think the problem with this documentary is they tried to cram to much in and not letting some of the segments to be flushed out.  If you like motorcycles it worth checking out but not to own.  There is a much better documentary that is newish called Why We Ride.  Which is so much better.

On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter Blu-ray

Was planning on order myself a copy of On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter.  It was set to be out on Blu-ray February 10, 2015.  How ever when I went on to Amazon.ca on the tenth to order it wasn’t available.  Saying it would ship within 2 to 5 weeks.  Which kind of pissed me of.  Have been looking forward to seeing this motorcycle documentary ever since I first read about in back in October.  If you never heard of it.  It is a sequel to the very famous 1971 documentary On Any Sunday.  Which is pretty good.  Well worth checking out.  You can find on YouTube.  You can check out the trailer > here or below.

[Update] Found another listing on Amazon.  Saying it will be out on March 3, 2015.  Will check back to see if its true.
