Return to Jurassic Park

Return to Jurassic Park
7.2/10
A multi-part documentary about the making of the Jurassic Park trilogy.

All interviews for these retrospective documentaries come with comments from Spielberg, Johnston, Neill, Dern, Goldblum, the effects crews, the child actors, and Peter Stormare. This documentary is broken into five parts: Dawn of a New Era (25 min) Making Prehistory (20 min), the Next Step in Evolution (15 min), and the Third Adventure (25 min), Finding the Lost World (28 min), and Something Survived (16 min).

Behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of director Steven Spielberg's 1997 film "The Lost World."

Round Up: Deposing 'The Usual Suspects'

Round Up: Deposing 'The Usual Suspects'
7.3/10
Documentary that includes interviews with Singer as well as the rest of the cast - mainly Spacey. There is no "plot" or "promotional" elements to this documentary - all of the information offered is substantial and informative as we are let in on all the details of trying to seek out the right actors for the parts, as well as the thoughts of the actors about joining an independent production helmed by a young director. Part 2 is a more interesting look at the production itself, complete with the problems and obstacles that faced the low-budget feature, as well as the happier memories of the work that the cast and crew went through. There's a lot of discussion of the infamous laughter during the lineup sequence, complete with a few outtakes of the scene.

Occupy!

Occupy!
5.8/10
Bill Nighy, Pete Postlewaite and (briefly) Julie Walters, then all of the Everyman Theatre Company, feature in this potent reportage/dramatisation hybrid about the occupation of the Fisher-Bendix Factory in Kirkby. Dohany uses a variety of imaginative techniques to explore the longstanding dispute, and a pronounced sense of urgency pervades this act of solidarity.

Clough: The Brian Clough Story

Clough: The Brian Clough Story
7.7/10
  • Genre: Documentary
  • Release: 25/03/2009
  • Character: Narrator
30 years since his first European Cup success, 15 years since his retirement and 5 years after his death; Brian Clough continues to fascinate. The Afterlife of Brian continues a pace; best-selling book after best-selling book, a statue is unveiled in Nottingham city centre, and a feature film is released. "Clough" has intimate access with the family as Brian is forever remembered in bronze and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of Nigel as he becomes the new manager of Derby County, on the night the wheel comes full circle and he takes over at the club his father walked out on 35 years ago.
