When the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group announced the development of the new Disneynature division, it was met with mixed reaction. Many saw it is a great way for Disney to make nature documentaries and increase awareness about the natural world around us. Others cynically saw it as a way for Disney to cash in ...
Mention national parks, civil war battlefields, or even World War II and odds are one documentary film-maker’s name will instantly pop into your head: Ken Burns. In 1990 Ken Burn’s “The Civil War” revolutionized the way we think about documentaries-and American history in general. Twenty years later, “The Civil War” remains one of the highest ...
I love paranormal documentaries, not all are created alike though, some documentaries are good, while others get embedded into your brain due to the most excellent bodacious scare that it offered. Nothing gets my blood pumping more than a good tale of demonic spirits, ghosts that haunt to the extreme, and ghost hunters who are ...

Documentaries in 2012 rocked! Not literally (although one of the best docs this year centered on a mysterious musician), but in compelling, wide-ranging themes. Topics such as the environment, military transgressions, social ills, and plain old greed were examined in thought-provoking, sometimes visually stunning ways. With flexible and readily available cameras and post-production technology, documentarians ...
The old cliche “you get what you pay for” is sometimes false. Snagfilms.com has proven it. No cable television company has ever run lines down the road I live on, and I doubt I would subscribe if they ever did. Most of the films coming out in theaters do not appeal to me. I have ...
On October 6th ESPN will be starting their new 30 for 30 documentary series. See, it’s entitled 30 for 30 because it is ESPN’s first good idea in 30 years. I kid! ESPN had some good ideas for the first 10 years. Anyway, starting on October 6th ESPN will be airing 30 different documentaries over ...
