Saw it and really liked it!

People need to see this stuff from time to time to realize how good we got it, no matter how bad you think your situation is, theres always something worse..

Love the beats coming from this section of the world
very Darbuka/Dumbek friendly

I can see where you’re coming from. As much as I love docs, I do have to be in the right frame of mind and mood to watch them. Normally its shortly after I wake up in the mornings on my days off work, when I’ve got a cup of coffee brewing and nothing to be at for a few hours, with the sun shinning in brightly through my window, lol.

But during days I work I want nothing but brainless fun movies that require little to no thinking, lol

Seems pretty hard to not create music. Sometimes I stub my toe and my scream comes out with a melody.

You have to understand that music isn’t just against federal law there…..music is banned by the Holy Quran, the doctrine of Islam…..it is against Islamic culture to create music. That’s just the way it is.

And yeah, life without music sucks monkey balls.

I typically am not a big fan of Docs just because a big part of movies for me is the escapism. Most docs make me think too much and some even depress me about just how fucked up some people can be (watch Jesus Camp)

But once I sit down I get sucked in and typically find myself enjoying them or at very least getting all thoughtful and thinking about stuff … which is not always a bad thing.

I will be doing more docs though.

I think you should do a semi-regular article series on here Rodney, where you review a different documentary every time, possibly once every week or two weeks or something like that. I pay much more attention to documentary reviews that i do to movie reviews for some reason. Maybe its because movie reviews mean jack shit to me cause everyone has a different opinion, but documentary reviews seem to be more universal, so to speak. Or maybe its just because I love a good documentary but find it hard to find reviews for them outside of imdb, which I don’t like going to for reviews.

Speaking of such things, I watched The Cove the other day and absolutly loved it. One of my favorite documentaries in recent years, second only to Cocaine Cowboys I believe, but that’s just off the top of my head, lol. If I took more time to think about it, I’m sure there could be a different order there. But point is, I loved it.
