    Snowden (2016)

    Love him or hate him, Edward Snowden remains an enigma of our time. Whilst director Oliver Stone's film fleshes out some areas of Snowden's history, personality and personal convictions, it doesn't hold a candle to the real thing as depicted in Laura Poitras' film 'Citizenfour' (2014).

      Enigma--well worth a viewing

      Eat That Question - Frank Zappa in His Own Words (2016)
      by bigburner
      I watched this movie last night and it was time well spent – interesting and informative. You don't need to be a fan of Frank Zappa's music to appreciate the man. I have never enjoyed his avant-garde work, and I don’t think that’s going to change. His 1970s rock music is what appeals to me,...
