"Grizzly Man" - documentary film about a guy who "lived with" grizzly bears in Alaska, some amazing footage but also very disturbing.

I'd like to see that as i've read alot about it when the story came out. It just sounded so horrific. :-X  Not sure I could sit through the documentary though i'm sure they didnt play any footage or audio from the end....

Grizzly Man is really a great film, I highly recommend it as it portrays a troubled individual who was more comfortable and at ease when he was with bears than when he was with people.  Werner Herzog really did a great job with this one.

Having said that, I saw this when it was first out, and it was on Channel 4 recently but I just did not feel like watching it again as it does demand a lot from the viewer.  You have to be in the right mood / frame of mind.

We've been watching Gilmour Girls, The Office (US), and The Wire...

It was amazing and sad.

I watched Chocolate.  Not the film with Johnny Depp, but a martial arts film about an autistic girl.  Not realistic, but good fight scenes.

Burn After Reading, which was great and hilarious.

Grizzly Man disturbs me and I couldn't watch it when it came on Channel 4 here. It was made well, but gah...

I found Burn After Reading a little disturbing and none of the characters were that likeable, but I really liked it too.  I don't think I'll watch it again in a hurry though.

LOVED IT!  I don't remember anything disturbing so I guess the comedy over-rode anything else. I don't rate Brat Pitt much in serious dramas, but he is fab at comedy and played a dork beautifully in this.

None of them were likeable.  Normally that and the bit of unease the actors seemed to have in their roles (except Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich) would kill it for me, but the film was really funny.  Plus it seemed to get better as the film went on.

We watched War Inc (horrible)and Tuesday (okish) last night.

I don't know, I'm kind of fragile so just knowing there's people like that out there did it for me.  Yeah Brad is great in comedies.

I think the last great thing I saw was Gran Torino, I found that pretty gripping.
