Review: Waltz with Bashir (2008)

Waltz with Bashir
The first ever documentary I have seen done totally as an animation. The movie pace through in a different animation style. Story gradually take us on the journey of Ari Folman trying to dig up the lost horrible memories of 1982 Lebanon War.
As the movie digs deep we witness the disgusting horrors of the Sabra and Shatila massacre.
Sometimes I was puzzled to understand the message Ari Folman tried to convey, yes war stinks is the big message but he tried to convey something else I didn't completely understand.

Movie is in Hebrew. It's not that hard to follow the story reading the sub-titles.

Directed by Ari Folman

Distributed by Sony Pictures Classics

Running time: 86 minutes

Rating: 8/10 (Waltz with Bashir)

Review: Religulous (2008)

Religulous
Nice documentary by Bill Maher. Filled with humor and sarcasm but talks about a very complex subject "religion".
If you are a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Scientology or any variant of given religions you should be ready to accept freedom of speech to watch this movie.
I agree with the most of the points Bill Maher show. Documentary is worth your time if your religion is based on a god, if not you already know most of the facts Bill Maher show.

Starring Bill Maher

Directed by Larry Charles

Distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment

Running time: 101 minutes

Rating: 7/10 (Religulous)
