Great Documentary

I have been watching a lot of documentaries ( which I will talk about in a different entry) recently and have really fallen in love with this art of filmmaking.  Today, I watched one about Roger Ebert (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/lifeitself/) that I think is one of the best produced in recent memory.  It brought back a flood of memories of my teens and early twenties, tuning in every weekend to watch Roger and Gene Siskel battle back and forth about what they thought about the movies.  The fostered my love of movies whether I agreed with them or not.  As a viewer, I could see their love or disdain for the movies that they were watching.  I truly hope that this film receives at the very least a nomination next awards season, and in my opinion should win the Academy Award.  For anyone who has a love of movies, I "strong"ly recommend this film...
