Pick of the Week

Fast, Cheap & Out of Control (1997)-  Academy award winning, renegade Documentarian Errol Morris profiles the lives of a retired lion tamer, a man obsessed with mole rats, an elderly topiary artist and a genius robotics designer. Morris displays his expert skill as a storyteller and purveyor of questions on the human condition. This film is not some egghead study of psychology and culture but rather a funny, intelligent and weird look at ourselves and what the future may hold. Though not generally recognized by the general public, Morris is a prolific filmmaker and a legend in the documentary community. If you liked this film I highly recommend his "Vernon, Florida" and "The Fog of War".
