Some of you have already heard me wax poetic about these two documentaries so, indulge me.
BASTARDS OF THE PARTY is a great HBO documentary by Cle Shaheed Sloan, a former member of the LA Bloods. Sloan traces the origins of the modern Crips and Bloods back to the Reconstruction. A great flick for anyone interested in LA, Civil Rights, History, Federal Law Enforcement.
THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON looks at the life of artist and musician Daniel Johnston through his old movies, stories of friends, family, managers and Daniel. Johnston is crazy talented and also, well, pretty... Also just a great look back at the Austin music scene in the mid-80's and early 90's as well as a really cool look at Sonic Youth freaking out trying to deal with Johnston.
By the way, if you've seen movies - documentary or other - you recommend, let me know!
