Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker, Davis Guggenheim, He Named Me Malala follows the events before and after the Talibans’ attack on Malala Yousafzai, a young Pakistani schoolgirl, shot in the head for speaking her mind on a girl’s right to education.
I’m certainly looking forward to learning more about one of my heroes, Malala Yousazai, and also, her extraordinary parents.
Stevan Riley is the director of Listen To Me Marlon, a new documentary about celebrated Hollywood actor Marlon Brando – and the trailer looks fantastic.
Amongst other great roles, Brando is the man responsible for doing an exceptional job of bringing author Mario Puzo’s character of The Godfather to life in the Francis Ford Coppola directed 1972 classic of the same name.
I know that Listen To Me Marlon is going to be great, especially for lovers of documentary film/biography, fans of very talented actors, those curious about the human condition – and of course, the brilliance of Brando himself and his works.
I really can’t wait to see this. Congratulations to the person(s) responsible for this trailer, for it is just excellent!
A month and a half after the teaser, the full trailer for the highly anticipated Amy Winehouse documentary has arrived.
Like many, I’m looking forward to finally seeing the complete film. Nevertheless, I do know that when it’s finally released, I’ll have to wait to be in the right mood before watching , because it’s undoubtedly going to be emotional.
Pumping Iron is a 1977 documentary that follows amateur and professional bodybuilders as they prepare for the 1975 Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe contests.
In this George Butler and Robert Fiore directed documentary, you’ll meet some of the top bodybuilders of that period, including France’s Serge Nubret, Lou Ferrigno from the USA, Franco Columbo of Italy and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger of the USA via Austria.
Watch and listen to stories of how several of the athletes came to choose their particular paths. Stories that inform us of all the attributes necessary to compete at such high levels – and for the extraordinary few, actually win.
Along with Schwarzenegger’s famous charisma, humour, work ethic and focus, look out for two brilliant anecdotes about his response to a family tragedy just before a competition and his ‘advice’ to a massively delusional wannabe.
There are a number of reasons to watch Pumping Iron, and being into bodybuilding is only one of them. Personally, my reasons are that I’m ever curious about the human, greatness, and I’m, like many, a Schwarzenegger fan.
