Featuring the REAL Brockovich and Masry . . .
pixrox124 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
. . . as well as Julia Roberts and Albert Finney, the actors who played the pair which started the dominoes falling until Arnold Schwarzenegger toppled into California's governor's mansion, plus Stephen Soderbergh, who directed the self-billed "expose" that utility companies think they can make their biggest profits if they kill off all the people paying utility bills (?!), no one here bothers to ask the question of WHY anyone still is breathing in America? When this extra (and the feature upon which it is based) were made (LONG after the events depicted), half of the United States had been "fracked" (hydraulically fractured). Now that the percentage of broken ground is closer to 100%, why is it that all these anecdotes about being able to set tap water on fire must rely on friends of friends? Why is it that the nation's cancer rates are GOING DOWN, instead of skyrocketing as scaremongers such as Brockovich, Masry, and Soderbergh suggest in their books and films? Why is this "Spotlight on Location" such a dim bulb? To quote Jack Nicholson regarding this unholy alliance: You can't handle the truth!

Great making-of documentary
Catherine_Grace_Zeh14 July 2006
I love this kind of documentary. This is because it's always fun to watch the cast and crew talk about their experiences filming a particular movie and working with their co-stars as well as the crew of that particular movie. In addition, it's also fun to see what happened behind the scenes during the filming of a particular movie, such as takes or bloopers. Anytime I watch a DVD or special edition VHS, I always look forward to seeing the documentaries afterward, that is, if there are any on it. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that this was a great making-of documentary. In conclusion, I hope you enjoy this making-of documentary.
