Really compelling storiesWhat I thought was going to be different experiences in different restaurants turned out to be so much more for me. I found myself caring less about the food itself and more about the people who’s lives were touched by the experience of the food. Each restaurant was a living, breathing character which affects the lives of everyone who touches it..Score: 4/5

A wonderful movieI loved this movie, it connected with me and how I view food, dining, it’s place in our society. I thought it was beautiful, the relationships between the three main subjects and they’re love of food and serving their customers..Score: 5/5

Delicous!Spinning Plates is decadence on screen. The photography is as good, if not better, than "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." The story, however, leaves "Jiro" in the dust. Joseph Levy tells a captivating story that had me laughing, crying, gasping, and left me hungry (mostly for Alena, but other people I was with were craving Mexican or diner food!) in the best way imaginable. Although snubbed by the Oscars, this film has made me completely rethink food and, more specifically, restaurants..Score: 5/5

Inspiring and upliftingBeautifully connected stories of how food is so much more than what's on our plate ... Family, hardship, love, survival ... Very well done and all of the people connected with the 3 restaurants are true heroes..Score: 5/5

Simply Fantastic!Wow…what cinematography, what insights into the lives of three families, what honest emotions, and great dialogue. We need more movies and shows like this that allow consumers to help these families out…thanks for making this movie!!!.Score: 5/5

Great collection of storiesA great illustration of why people love working in the restaurant business. From a ridiculously creative high end restaurant, to a family who opened a restaurant because they wanted the world to try their mother's cooking, the stories were well woven together. These people couldn't be any different or come from more diverse worlds, but their connection with their communities and customers through food is what they have in common..Score: 5/5

George Lucas in Love: 15th Anniversary Edition summary, synopsis, reviews
George Lucas in Love: 15th Anniversary EditionComedy2003

Originally released to critical and audience acclaim in 1999, GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE is a hilarious satire of “Shakespeare in Love” that searches for the ‘true’ origins of the Star Wars saga. A young George Lucas (Martin Hynes) tackles writer’s block while trying to complete his final screenplay for USC Film School and the master storyteller is placed center-screen as he searches for inspiration, ultimately finding it in the colorful and ever-familiar characters that surround him, including Marion (Lisa Jakub), his very own “Leia”. Launching the careers of its four young filmmakers – Joe Nussbaum, Tim Dowling, Joseph Levy, and Daniel Shere – GEORGE LUCAS IN LOVE took Hollywood by storm as this parody found its way to the VCRs of virtually every industry bigwig at the time, including George Lucas himself who praised the film as “very funny”. Re-mastered, re-finished and, for the first time, in HD, the 15th Anniversary Edition of this award-winning short film is available May 20, 2014. This is a must-see treat for fans packed with comedy, charm, and instantly recognizable moments from the original trilogy they love so much.

Using the story of the Red Star Line as a narrative vessel, this three-part documentary by Daniël Cattier and Fabio Wuytack explains why European emigrants left their homes behind for an uncertain future. It details their trips to Antwerp, their travel across the ocean, and their adjustments to their new lives in America. Theirs are intimate yet epic journeys in which past and present merge in the forging of new identities. The film, which is shot on location in Antwerp, New York, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine, uses ‘emotional archaeology’ to weave a richer narrative than could be conveyed through a string of facts and figures. And walking in the footsteps of Red Star Line passengers, surprising similarities are revealed to the experiences of modern immigrants.
