Very entertaining documentary!

Ben Stein is clever and funny.  There are parts of the movie that will make you laugh, cry, and be shocked (at how badly Richard Dawkins comes off).  I've thoroughly enjoyed it both times I've seen it.  Atheists won't be convinced by the movie, but real scientists (those who recognize that science changes its assumptions in light of new information - like the amazing complexity in the design of life) will enjoy.

I saw this when it originally aired on Nova.  I recorded this later during a replay.  It covers in one hour every major aspect of the title subject.  It truly is a unique stand-alone documentary on an unusual topic, which many people are still not aware.  The only thing that I can say that might be construed as a negative comment is that I wish it had been upgraded by releasing an edition on DVD.  I lost that old recording ,so I orderd this as a replacement/ upgrade.  I really love this rare and unique documentary!

This is a really great documentary and really holds your attention. There is a lot of factual information but is presented in a very interesting and intriguing way.

Thoroughly enjoyed this well done documentary and Labor of Love.

I received my Blu-ray copy of this film while I was entertaining house guests. Being the selfish sort that I am, I insisted on watching it and not waiting days until my guests left. The female of the pair had barely heard of Rush, and was certainly not a fan. She even joked that it is "a guy's band". She watched the entire film, and said that she really enjoyed it!

I can't add much that has not already been said in other reviews, but this is a film for fans of musicians, entertainers, and underdogs in general. Obviously it's all about Rush, but the story at the core is that three very talented musicians were able to achieve great success while maintaining their integrity (not just an illusion here) and creative freedom.

The most enjoyable portions of the documentary for me are the exchanges between the band members, often very candid. It is clear that these men are close friends and care very much for one another - even beyond their bond within the band. I truly believe that they put their friendship above the success of the band.

The Blu-ray and DVD contain about 1 1/2 hours of extra footage, some of which is priceless. My personal favorite are the scenes filmed while Geddy, Alex, and Neil have a casual dinner together in a hunting lodge. It is the single most "fly on the wall" portion of all the footage.

Sometimes you think of a documentary as dry and simply informative. Not so in this case. It is very engaging as you get to watch all the characters in real life as they make it through a challenging time, juggling high school academics, robotics and teen age relationships. I loved it and my 32 year old niece who has never seen a robotics competition and not involved in the engineering world sat next to me and  thoroughly enjoyed it. It is appropriate for all ages and all levels of "techno savvyness".

This was a well done documentary! I watched the whole thing from start to finish and then watched the added bonus features.
Some of the bonus features are footage that did not make it into the main feature. I liked all of it. When this was being made, Bettie was up in her age, so, with her telling the story for it, she had to rely on her memory. I'm not so sure she did the audio commentary part years before, but it is possible. When you watch the movie on her life, the images coincide with her commentary. So, strictly taking the audio from interviews is highly unlikely. At her age she probably could not recall exact details for every single incident that may or may not have taken place, but I give her credit for trying to tell all of us what happened in her life. It came out really well.

I am a fan of hers since 1990. I have a few of her vintage magazines from the era she was most popular, the '50s up to her retirement at age 34. I believe she retired in 1957. She was born in 1923 and passed away in mid Dec. 2008.

The Blu-ray is high quality. I have played it on the Sony Ultra 4K player and UHD 4K TV. It looks really good for most of it, some vintage archival footage is taken at the source, so it doesn't come up pristine. The photos of Bettie are wonderful to see, most had never been published before until now. I like the music with it and the photographers that took her photos as well are in it discussing how she posed, etc.
Bettie herself is discussing most of the documentary as it progresses. The segments were kept at a reasonably fast pace, so some editing may not have been done in the desirable way others may have done it. Still, I liked the entire program from the beginning to end.
*** Special Features are :
"Filth and Obscenity": A Bettie Page Reveals All Bonus Reel
"The Early Years":  Audio Interview With Bettie accompanied by still photos
"Unreleased Phone Call" l between Bettie and Paula Klaw.
"Irving Klaw's Wiggle Movies" Starring Bettie ~ Restored
"Bettie Page" by Buzz Campbell
"Bettie's Exclusive" Pin up Gallery
"Bettie's Funeral" (This is the footage that did not make it into the documentary.)

I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Iceland through this documentary. No, it is not about an average person's trip to Iceland, but what a totally interesting way to see the country! The scenery is so beautiful, and the interviews with other hikers, travelers and locals were very interesting to me. Oh and Scott's sense of humor is a definite plus. I recommend this film to anyone who is interested in seeing Iceland, or for general travelers, hikers and cyclists.

To me, This documentary is absolutely engaging, easily holding up to multiple views. one of the best ultra low budget, self produced films I've seen.  I came upon this one in an ass backward sort of way considering I wasn't particularly familiar with the music of Dead Moon, but they are from my hometown and I did some shopping at their Tombstone Music store in my early 20's. Fred and Toody always seemed like extremely interesting people even before I had any idea who they were. The most fascinating thing about the film(and the Cole's) is the fierce do it yourself approach they take in just about every aspect of their lives...inspiring to say the least. The Tombstone Music store has been gone for many years now and the only businesses operating in the "Ghost Town" have been a convenience store, a locksmith and  some sort of small deli(???) Recently there have been hand printed signs posted advertising spaces for farmers market vendors. I'm not sure if the Cole's are behind this, or even if they still own the property, but I wish them the best of luck.

Love this documentary. I did not wrestle, but this documentary makes me wish I did.  Very well done and interesting, kept moving with the culmination the state tournament.  Though I wondered about what was going on in Doug's life, I understand the need to only scratch the surface in the documentary.

This was a wonderfully put together documentary.  I was proud to say that a friend of mine was in this!  I think you should all watch this.  VERY well done!

Great documentary!  Funny, informative and (in a way) life-changing!  After watching this documentary, I decided to do a tiny bit more research, so I purchased "The 30-Day Low-Carb Diet Solution" and ended up following the diet and losing about 35 pounds!  I have kept the weight off for over a year and I don't plan on gaining it back any time soon.  My doctor reacted in an astonishingly similar manner to the way Tom's doctor reacted in this documentary.

There are still plenty of doubters out there, and I say let them be.  This diet is fun and (for me) easy to follow and if you don't believe in it, that is none of my business.  Anyway, for those of you interested in a heavy dose of truth, watch this documentary!

Saw it in theatrical release on June 10.  Stellar documentary!  Great oral history of the band, lots of old footage (including gig footage with John Rutsey), almost an album-by-album step through their career, etc.  The three band members speak candidly and openly about their formative years and climb to success --- what worked (and why) and what didn't (and why).  Other musicians chime in with stories of how they were introduced to and influenced by Rush's music.  Some of the biggest laughs of the film, and there are many, come from these stories.

The DVD and Blu-ray releases will feature additional material not found in the theatrical release, so buying it is a no-brainer.

I've seen plenty of band documentaries before, but this one is special because you learn a lot  about the personal dynamics between the band members and you really come to care about them.  Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have been mates since high school and their long-standing friendship bond is at the heart of this film.

I can't wait to see this again.

This documentary is very well done. Very compelling even to people who prefer to watch "main stream" films. Who wouldn't love a film with a character who calls himself "Mr. Awesome"?
The rivalry between Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe is hillarious.
I have screened this film for several of my friends and family. Can't wait to share it with more of them!

Excellent documentary of Henry Ford.  The video is both informative and entertaining, and includes actual footage of Mr Henry Ford
