I am about to end this contest, but I wanted to resurrect it ever so briefly so that New Yorkers have a chance to see it, since the original thing got buried in our avalanche of content. I have been trying to get more screenings in New York City for loyal Chewers, and this is … Continue reading
Werner Herzog’s films have often been about the extremes of humanity, and in Timothy Treadwell he has found a perfect subject. Treadwell spent 13 summers in the wilds of Alaska, surrounded by grizzly bears, fancying himself their protector. For the last five of these years he filmed himself, almost obsessively.

Some people found the glamorization of the criminal element in these films to be disgusting and offensive. I wonder if these people feel the same way about Goodfellas … Continue reading
