In 2010 David Crowley, an Iraq veteran, aspiring filmmaker and charismatic up-and-coming voice in fringe politics, began production on his film Gray State. Set in a dystopian near-future where civil liberties are trampled by an unrestrained federal government, the film's crowd funded trailer was enthusiastically received by the burgeoning online community of libertarians, Tea Party activists and members of the nascent alt-right. In January 2015, Crowley was found dead with his family in their suburban Minnesota home. Their shocking deaths quickly become a cause célèbre for conspiracy theorists who speculate that Crowley was assassinated by a shadowy government concerned about a film and filmmaker that was getting too close to the truth about their aims. Directed by Grizzly Man producer Erik Nelson and Executive Produced by Werner Herzog, A Gray State combs through Crowley's archive of 13,000 photographs, hundreds of hours of home video, and exhaustive behind-the-scenes footage of Crowley's work in progress to reveal what happens when a paranoid view of the government turns inward - blurring the lines of what is real and what people want to believe.

Multiple Aspects of The New American dealWatched the story unfold like a train wreck in slo-mo.; you can see the cycles grow deeper and deeper as the story progresses. Perhaps the real tragedy is that this same story is likely repeating itself (in some ways) right around the corner from your home on Anystreet USA. Thought provoking, inspiring, haunting and disquieting. A commentary - but also a case study - to many issues: Religion, Marraige, Patriotism, Mental Health, Big-Government; Big-Corporations; with answers for few of them. it makes you think without pushing any single agenda. And as a selfish comment - I wish the fictional movie would've actuall been made..Score: 4/5

WeirdBoring. Didn’t walk away with anything considering it was a documentary..Score: 2/5

MehA bit long for the story involved. It could have been summed up within an hour. Good story though..Score: 3/5

No conspiracy hereA poignant portraiture of a deeply disturbed and troubled, possibly hypomanically driven individual and one clearly haunted by the demons of war and then the pressure to deliver a product that ultimately he likely felt himself incapable of producing. His wife also likely was plagued with her own hidden and undiagnosed psychopathology, as you will see. But let’s be clear: There was no assassination by The Powers That Be. The protagonist’s movie was he was making was a totally crackpot whack job affair and invariably destined for the dustbin of NetFlix after it flopped in the theater. I watched this movie solely because Werner Herzog was involved in the production. You can usually count on the goods being delivered when he’s involved..Score: 4/5

White Guys with Heavy WeaponsYawn. A time-wasting marathon about white guys with guns..Score: 1/5

Very Important Cautionary StoryThis story shows what happens when a human spends more time in the realms of imagination than in rational thought. This poor guy lost his mind and took his family with him. Very very sad..Score: 4/5

Dragon HunterAction & Adventure2009

Orphaned as a baby when his parents were killed in a vicious orc attack, Kendrick of Elwood was raised by his elder brother, Darius. Though only nine at the time, Darius devoted his life to Kendrick’s care and to purging orcs from their land. As Darius grew into a great warrior, he sheltered Kendrick from all possible harm. Now, after years of absence, a new danger emerges, more lethal than the threat of orcs or men. Reports of dragon attacks spread like wildfire through the panicked land. In memory of his mother’s prophesies of a mighty Dragon Hunter in their bloodline, Darius leads Kendrick on a perilous journey to the castle of Ocard -- the Dragon Hunter training grounds. As they battle through evil men and orc-infested lands, they align with a band of rogue warriors who swear their allegiance in this hazardous quest. The Brothers of Elwood, joined by Raya, an elven princess, Olick, a mute Berserker, and five human mercenaries must escape orc ambushes and dragon attacks to reach the fortress at Ocard. Upon arrival, Kendrick learns that he, not his warrior brother, is prophesied to wear the Dragon Hunter mantle, a destiny that he cannot escape. When the dragon strikes with renewed ferocity, Kendrick must devise a plan to hunt and conquer the deadly beast, and inherit his true identity -- the Dragon Hunter!

What could compel us to abandon our most basic instinct for self preservation?It’s not about adrenaline or thrill seeking. There is something far deeper that drives the world’s most elite group of mountain adventurers to take life threatening risks. For nearly three years, director Dina Khreino interviewed these world-class athletes, listening to what compels them to leave behind families, friends, and everyday comforts, to risk everything for a fleeting glimpse into the unknown. What she found was a tribe, a diverse group of professional adventurers and amateur philosophers, forged by the ultimate test of body, mind, and spirit. At times brutally honest, other times pensive, these athletes’ stories reveal the triumph of the human spirit, and the profound and unique connection formed as they overcome the world’s fiercest physical and mental obstacles.

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.
