The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia.

It's worth your time. Especially if you want to watch some white trash snort coke off the back of a toilet in a bowling ally.

Between The Folds is an awesome one about origami. It was on Netflix awhile ago, no idea if it still is.

I recently watched 'Blackfish' on Netflix.

Looks at the life of Orcas (killer whales) in captivity, mostly in amusement parks in the U.S.

Focuses on the life of a bull male named Tilikum located at SeaWorld Orlando that has been involved in the death of 3 people since his capture.

Interestingly I visited SeaWorld Orlando for the first time a few weeks ago but only found out about the documentary after the visit.

I felt a little guilty for enjoying the 'Shamu Show' as much as I did. Killer whales are INCREDIBLY intelligent and the documentary is definitely a must watch.

Blackfish is a one sided PETA hit piece.

Last Days in Vietnam on PBS


I watched this American Experience documentary last week on my PBS app.

It was an incredible documentary, very well made.

The stories involving the USS Kirk were amazing.

The Men Who Built America. Never heard of this series until today, and ended up watching it for hours. I believe it was on the history channel. If gives the history of business tycoons such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford and JP Morgan. Very interesting.


That was good.

I liked the Sinatra one on HBO recently. All or nothing at all. Montage of Heck was good too. Also liked the Roosevelt one on pbs.

Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows
Documentary about Bret Hart's last year in WWE leading up to the Montreal Screwjob. Lots of behind the scenes stuff too with other wrestlers and the Hart family. If you were ever a wrestling fan growing up you'll love this one, and I've known several people who weren't fans and just caught it on Bravo and the old Documentary Channel one day and enjoyed it.
