Kritički osvrt na bestseler Ericha Von Danikena po kome je snimljen kultni dokumentarac Chariots Of The Gods (1970) sa najnovijim dokazima koji idu u prilog teoriji da su Bogovi zapravo bili vanzemaljci. Odlično urađeno, najtoplije preporučujem. (90 min)
"In modern times, the first UFO was reported in 1947. But many people believe that aliens have been among us for thousands of years. And for evidence, they point to certain ancient texts and monuments. Do they, in fact, tell the story of extraterrestrial contact eons ago? Join the worlds leading UFO experts including the authors of the bestselling Alien Identities and Fingerprints of the Gods for an extraordinary investigation that journeys through human history in search of evidence of alien contact. Why do so many structures, from different societies worldwide, seem to point towards the same spot in the skies? What other possible explanation is there for the frequent references to strange flying objects in ancient texts? Do some clues point to the presence of aliens among the ancients themselves? With dramatic re-creations, footage from around the world and inspired scholarship, Ancient Aliens attempts to uncover the truth."
Director:
Joel Rifkin, "najplodniji" Njujorški serijski ubica. U periodu između '89 i '93 godine ubio 17 prostitutki, osuđen samo za 9 usled nedostatka dokaza. Trenutno na doživotnoj robiji. Nisam se preterano bavio ovim likom jer mi ubice prostitutki baš i nisu najzanimljivije, al' ono što je u ovom dokumentarcu skroz OK je taj deo kad on opisuje neka od svojih ubistava do najsitnijih detalja, pa i objašnjava kako se oslobađao leševa. Surovo. Naravno, tekst Michael Newtona na engleskom ovde.
"By day, he was a loser who couldn't keep his job mowing lawns. By night, he was a talented predator who lived out his sick sadistic fantasies by cruising for prostitutes and then strangling them with his bare hands during sex. This profile of Joel Rifkin, who confessed to 17 murders, includes a rare jailhouse interview where he talks about his life and killing spree, saying he has no idea why he became such a monster."
Inače za ono malo nepoznavaoca, Šok Koridor je pa sigurno najjača TV emisija posvećena filmu koja je puštana u Srbiji u poslednjih 10 pa i jače godina, i ja zaista evo sad ne mogu da joj nađem pandan. Zahvaljujući do tad neviđenom fanatizmu dvojice voditelja, Alekasandra Radivojevića (trenchcoat mafia?!) i Nenada Bekvalca, ova emisija je ostavila nesagledive posledice na omladinu u Srbiji, jer klinci su konačno počeli da gledaju i neke malo drugačije filmove, a ne samo akcije, komedije, femili muvis and shit. Pa evo mogu opušteno da kažem da sam se i ja zainteresovao za bizarne horor filmove upravo zahvaljujući ovom serijalu, jer sam tu video isečke iz nekih filmova za koje nisam ni sanjao da postoje. I znači nema, ja sam siguran da nema mladog beograđanina, koji nije barem jednom odgledao neku epizodu Šok Koridora, jer ta emisija je što se kaže ušla u narod, to se bre bdilo noću da se sačeka početak, jer počinjala je nešto oko 1 posle ponoći, tako da je bio fazon izađeš u grad i ako ne zaglaviš dugo, taman stigneš na polovinu Koridora i dojaja.
Znači definitivno sa sigurnošću mogu da kažem da je ova emisija promenila stvari nabolje što se tiče gledanja kvalitetnih filmova u Srbiji, jer evo lupam npr. sad bilo kog klinca na ulici da pitaš šta je to Cannibal Holocaust, ima da ti kaže na keca šta je. Dobro, OK, možda malo preterujem ali ja se nadam da razumete šta 'oću da kažem. Svi ti filmovi koji su nepravedno godinama tavorili su putem Koridora konačno isplivali na površinu, i ljudi su počeli masovno to da gledaju. Pa ja sam jbte prvi put čuo za Takashi Mikea u Koridoru, i ne samo za njega, ogromna je to lista izuzetnih reditelja i filmova koje sam pokupio otalen. Znači ma šta ko lupetao, jako, jako edukativna emisija, i ko je želeo mogao je svašta pametno tu da nauči o filmu, plus te vaistinu sulude "pošalice" voditelja i komentari isečaka, ma lud'lo jedno sveobuhvatno i to u krupnom planu.
Kome još nije sve najjasnije još ću samo napomenuti da se emisija sastoji od masovnih isečaka najrazličitijih filmova svih žanrova, a to možda najbolje oslikava baš ova epizoda jer tu ima bukvalno svega, od navedenog Cannibal Holocausta, preko Videodroma, Emanuelle in America, Dead & Buried, pa do hajlajta u vidu Banović Strahinje i čuvene scene nabijanja Radeta Šerbedžije na kolac. Između svakog isečka voditelji zajedno sa gostom komentarišu prikazano, ali se priča i spontano proširi uz dosta trivie što ume da bude jako zabavno, a videćete u drugim epizodama koje budem postavljao da su gosti stvarno raznoliki, npr. eto i naša poznata glumica Katarina Žutić se pojavljuje u jednoj.
Kada pričamo o SNUFF-u mora da napomenem da je ova emisija i kao neki moj lični moleban da nam premijera SRPSKOG FILMA, za koji je - gle čuda, scenario radio upravo Aca Radivojević, ne zadocni, da je dočekamo u zdravlju i veselju, kako i priliči, da se Srpčad raduju. Znači ovde imamo 2 epizode od po sat vremena na SNUFF tematiku, i kako ih budem uploadovo postavljaću da možete komotno da gledate, da ne čekate sve na gomilu. Znači moja najiskrenija preporuka, jer kad turiš tri manijaka/fanatika ovakvog kalibra u emisiju, pa to ne mož' da omane, a plus još tema koja zabada - dakle ZLO, nema dalje. Što kaže ovaj na špici : "Ljudi, svašta će biti." I vaistinu, bi svašta.
Ovaj dokumentarac mu dođe kao neka vrsta aftermatha priče iz odličnog The Battle of Chernobyl (to ko nije gledo - obavezno!). Znači ovde ćete moći da vidite kako danas izgleda Pripyat, gradić izgrađen 70-ih za potrebe nuklerke, gde su živeli radnici sa svojim porodicama, a koji je naravno brzinski evakuisan dan posle incidenta, i to toliko brzo da ljudi skoro ništa nisu ni poneli sa sobom, jer su kontali vratiće se, nisu pojma imali o čemu se tu zapravo radi. Naravno nikada se nisu vratili i taj gradić danas skroz, ali skroz opravdano nazivaju i Ghost Town. Najsurovije akcije su upravo na početku filma kada ide video snimak sa početka 80-ih, idila i sve, dečica se igraju, i onda samo prikažu isto to mesto kako izgleda danas. ZLOKOBNOZLO, jezivoneopisivo. Za sve ljubitelje "apokaliptičnog" ovo je definitivno A MUST SEE. (26 min)
"The word Chernobyl became known worldwide shortly after the 1986 blast. The small town Pripyat, situated just 3000 metres from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, up to this day serves to remind about the extent of the tragedy. Pripyat used to be a lively little town, both a powerful nuclear centre and a conveniently planned city with schools and urban apartments. It is now a dead, lifeless stretch of land littered with scraps of the past. Aleksey Yaroshevsky takes a walk along the streets of the ghost town."
Uh sunce ti, WAR je baš opaka stvar jer cela suština rata i jeste sadržana u tom nabrajanju medijskih giganata i multinacionalnih korporacija kakve su npr. General Motors, IBM, Newsweek, CNN, Sony itd.etc. Genijalno. Mediji i rat. Objasnili. Posebno obratiti pažnju na ultraviolence mix.

FREEDOM FOR THODOROS !
HBO dokumentarac koji hronološki prikazuje dešavanja iz oktobra 2002. godine, kada su čečenski teroristi zauzeli moskovski teatar i za taoce uzeli većinu posetilaca pozorišne predstave, njih preko 700. Za razliku od dokumentarca The Moscow Theatre Siege koji se bavi isključivo istragom vezanom za tajanstveni gas koji su Rusi koristili u napadu na pozorište, ovde je pokriveno bukvalno sve, ali to nije razlog da se ne pogledaju oba filma radi šire slike, s'tim što je meni ovaj naravno mnogo zanimljiviji. Uglavnom ima ona fora kao "the more you read - the more you know", e što se tiče dokumentaraca to i te kako važi, jer što više pogledamo na zadatu temu, bolje ćemo sagledati, znači moj neki trip je da se nikad ne zadovoljim sa samo jednim filmom, jer može da se desi da istina nije potpuna ili da je jednostrana, tako da se uvek trudim da pogledam barem 2 dokumentarca, ako već nema više komada. Uglavnom, ono što oću da kažem je, da dokumentarci mogu da budu jako, JAKO edukativni, e sad, sve zavisi kako ih ko posmatra i iz kojih pobuda.
"In October 2002, 41 Chechen terrorists took more than 700 people hostage in a Moscow theater, demanding an end to Russia's war against their homeland. This gut-wrenching documentary takes you through the endless hours of waiting, a seemingly miraculous rescue operation, and the ultimate tragedy, that could have been avoided had adequate medical personnel been on the scene after the stalemate ended."

O McVeighu i njegovoj akciji u Oklahoma City-u sam već pisao ovde a preporučujem i odličan tekst Teda Ottleya na engleskom. Inače, ovo je, ko što može i da se vidi iz naslova, klasičan A&E biografski dokumentarac, i ono što je meni ovde najzanimljivije su podaci o tome šta je mali Timi voleo da čita i da gleda, šta ga je sve inspirisalo. (43 min)
"He was an average kid who seemed to find his niche in the army. But his service in the Gulf War left him disenchanted, and he drifted to the shady world of militias, conspiracy theorists and right-wing activism. Timothy McVeigh earned the death penalty for his role in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. BIOGRAPHY; traces his life from his unremarkable childhood in New York State to his emergence as the symbol for the new face of terrorism in America. Childhood neighbors and friends recall a normal kid who fit in fine, and army buddies remember the successful soldier who seemed well-positioned for a career in the military. But something happened, and McVeigh became disenchanted with the military, the government and, ultimately, America. Here, his biographer examines the forces that led McVeigh to commit his heinous crime, and extensive footage and news coverage relives the bombing that shocked the nation, and the investigation and trial that followed. From decorated soldier to reviled mass-murderer, this is the chilling tale of one man's journey to evil."

Najjači dokumentarni serijal o zaveri da se ubije JFK. 6 epizoda od po 50 minuta. Čuveni film Olivera Stona je uspavanka za Radmilu M. u odnosu na ovo, uostalom neću ja mnogo da pričam, nek vam kažu ljudi koji su ovo već gledali. Ja sam ovih dana pogledao serijal po drugi put, i mogu opušteno da kažem da što se tiče ovih prvih 6 zvaničnih epizoda da je to TO. Znači nema omaške. E sad, što se tiče poslednje 3 epizode koje su naknadno dodate, i naravno, zbog zajebanog sadržaja "zabranjene", meni je jedino diskutabilna 9. epizoda, mada to opet ništa ne mora da znači. Uglavnom za sve ljubitelje conspiracy dokumentaraca ovo je die beste. Znači pogledajte, nećete se pokajati...
"This artfully constructed six-part series offers chilling evidence that American democracy has become a convenient lie; that a conspiratorial coup d'état removed a sitting president and then hid that fact from the American people. This sounds like the stuff of wild-eyed paranoia, but these filmmakers did their homework well--interviews include levelheaded witnesses, suspicious government agents, and Dallas cops present in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963. Some of the "proof" (especially in Episode 2, "The Forces of Darkness") seems a bit far-fetched, but the sheer number of unexplained facts is riveting. An autopsy attendant describes a procedure botched by meddling Secret Service agents. A deaf-mute eyewitness shares his recollection of uniformed men hiding a rifle and leaving the site of the assassination unchallenged. Eisenhower's security chief, present at the shooting, discusses fatal safety lapses--as well as mysterious shots coming from the opposite direction of the Texas School Book Depository. District Attorney Jim Garrison points out that Lee Harvey Oswald, a Marine assigned to Russian reconnaissance, operated a "Communist" organization out of a government intelligence office. Senator Ralph Yarbrough, present in the motorcade, tells of Kennedy's order to recall the troops from Vietnam--an order rescinded by the Pentagon three days after his death. But the most powerful elements of this documentary are the most personal, as hardened cops confess to lasting nightmares, as senatorial investigators tearfully recall the moment they realized the official story did not match the facts, and as simple bystanders share their lasting grief at having witnessed the gory death of America's innocence."
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, meni najgotivniji lik iz Čarlijeve družine, je puštena pre par dana (14. avgusta) konačno na uslovnu slobodu. Ne treba zaboraviti da je u zatvor dospela posle čuvenog pokušaja atentata 1975. na tadasnjeg predsednika SAD Džeralda Forda i tako ušla u istoriju kao prva i jedina žena koja je pokušala atentan na predsednika SAD. Uglavnom, mnogo mi drago zbog Skviki, jer nema puno tako odvažnih žena danas, mada nema ni muškaraca ako ćemo iskreno, i setimo se samo njenog fanatičnog bekstva iz zatvora 1987. godine, a ja sam čak i svojoj mački nadenuo ime po njoj - SKVIKI. Znači posle 34 godine robije, konačno uslovna sloboda. Prva Čarlijeva "sledbenica" koja je puštena mada nije učestovavala u Helter Skelter ubistvima ali je ovo možda još i gore, mislim na pokušaj atentata na predsednika SAD jbotebogdatejbo. Uglavnom ono što je bitno je da su počeli polako da ih puštaju iz zatvora, kontam 40 godina je prošlo i dosta je bilo jbga. Naravno jedan deo ekipe nikad neće videti slobodu ali zato Bobby Beausoleil i Leslie Van Houten (koje mi je i najžalije) bi trebali da budu pušteni u dogledno vreme.
"The Charles Manson follower convicted of trying to assassinate President Gerald Ford was released Friday from a Texas prison hospital after more than three decades behind bars.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, 60, left the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth at about 8 a.m. EDT Friday, spokeswoman Dr. Maria Douglas said. Though a few photographers had camped out since the night before outside the facility surrounded razor wire-topped fences, Fromme slipped by the group unnoticed in one of the many cars streaming in and out of the front gate Friday morning.
It was a far cry from her antics that captivated the United States' attention 30 years ago: shaving her red hair and carving an "X" into her forehead after Manson was convicted for orchestrating a mass murder, wearing a red robe when she pulled a gun on Ford, being carried into her trial courtroom by marshals when she refused to walk.
In September 1975, Fromme pushed through a crowd, drew a semiautomatic .45-calibre pistol from a thigh holster and pointed it at Ford, who was shaking hands with well-wishers while walking to the California state capitol in Sacramento. But Secret Service agents grabbed her and the gun, and Ford was unhurt.
Fromme, who reportedly got her nickname while in Manson's "family," possibly because of her voice, had become its leader. She was never implicated in the 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and eight others, for which Manson is serving a life term in Corcoran State Prison in California.
During her trial, Fromme either refused to attend or had outbursts. Her attorney argued that she wanted to call attention to environmental issues and Manson's case and never meant to kill Ford. A few bullets were in the gun but not in the chamber."

The Unabomber, lik koji je definitivno zajeb'o sve redom, i što se tiče terorizma, i ekstremizma u svim oblicima, pa i serijskih ubica, mada ja ga nikako ne bi svrstao u tu kategoriju kao što su to uradili u ovom dokumentarcu. Mislim, jeste da on ispunjava sve uslove za serijskog ubicu, ali način na koji je birao žrtve i porivi ga definitivno izdvajaju iz gomile. O Unabomberu je bio segment u epizodi "Masterminds" most evil serijala, a evo konačno i cele priče, naravno koga zanima do detalja, opširnije, tu je i tekst Teda Ottleya na trutv crime library sajtu. Ne treba zanemariti ni podatak, koga nema u filmu, da anarho-primitivizam ima dosta dodirnih tačaka sa ideologijom Unabombera, mada se on tako nikada nije izjašnjavao, što je i razumljivo. Znači ljudi ga danas doživljavaju i kao revolucionara, i kao ludaka, a neki i kao serijskog ubicu, no prosudite sami, u svakom slučaju jedna od najzanimljivijih faca koje sam do sada pominjao ovde.

"The leader of the UNABOMBER task force and people close to Kaczynski help shed light on the most famous criminal investigation of the century.The search lasted 17 years. The subject of the hunt, which became one of the most expensive criminal investigations in American history, eluded capture while waging a random campaign of terror that stymied the authorities and captured the attention of the world. But ultimately, he was undone by his brother, who recognized the twisted ramblings of the astonishing “Manifesto” which was printed in The New York Times and Washington Post. National Geographic recounts how a gifted mathematician lived a hermit’s existence in rural Montana and waged war against innocent Americans. Ted Kaczynski fastidiously prepared bombs and sent them to the mailboxes of academics, airline officials and advertising executives seemingly at random. HUNT FOR THE UNABOMBER presents interviews with those closest to the case and Kaczynski, including FBI profilers, the law enforcement officers who arrested Kaczynski, the leader of the UNABOMBER Task Force, friends of Kaczynski and the prosecutor in the case.It’s the story of an American anti-hero who will be remembered as one of the most puzzling figures of the century.
