Top Documentaries Review For 2021


In this blog, we are going to get into my top documentaries in 2021.  This is my thoughts. You might agree and/or disagree with it.  Let’s get into it.

Top Documentaries

1.  Behind Sightings – This is by far craziest Documentary that I have ever saw. Horror to true crime fan will enjoy this doc.  Scariest and best documentary, I have ever saw.

2.  Summer of Soul – Music fest that was never brought to light until this year.  Music fest that happened same time as Woodstock. I hope they released all the whole festival.  Great back story telling.

3.  All Madden. – Wow wow and wow. John passes away a few days after this Documentary was released.  I have to say at the end it was like he knew. I have more respect for him. I wish that I would have enjoyed him more growing up.

4.  Nightstalker:  The Hunt For A Serial Killer – A killer that changed the way every police departments operations around the country. This documentary could be 4th or 5th with Hotel Cecil.

5.  Crime Scene:  The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel – I feel this documentary and Nightstalker are attached in a sense. Every major city in the USA has a hotel like this one.  Detroit has one called the Leland Hotel.  This documentary gives the haunting story of this hotel.

6.  Tina – This documentary details and lays out facts of the strongest woman in rock history. She didn’t hold back. You will have a lot more respect for her.

7. Clown and Candyman – Clown was from Chicago and Candyman was from Texas. Their nicknames came from what they did for a living.  There is a twist and link to these two monsters.

8.   Billy Milligan 24 Faces of a Monster  – Was Billy was faking this or was he really had Multiple personality person?  This documentary gives you inside of this insane sick man. I believe this documentary lands in the right spot.

9.  Brian Wilson Long Promised Road – Beach Boys was a band that was perfect for pop music in the 1950s and 1960s. This doc drives in to mind of genius behind their music with his brothers. Yet the sickest of Brian Wilson and his issues. Music fan you will like this documentary.

10.  Blood Brothers: Malone x Muhammad Ali – The 1960s American has always keep me interested. I was always wondering how these two men came together. This documentary answers all the questions and much more.

11.   Tom Petty Wild Flowers Sessions – I always enjoy music documentary that goes behind the scenes. I don’t care if I like or dislike the artist.  This documentary answers many questions behind this great record.

12.  Raincoat Killer: The Chasing a Predator in Korea – This documentary stuns me between Korea police department operations and philosophy of the killer. It is a wild documentary.

13.   Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed – The guy that was on TV painting when I was growing up. Bob felt anyone can paint. He is kind of right. His story is pretty sad. I will not watch any Bob because what happened to estate after he passed.

14.  More Than Miyagi The Pat Morita Story – I didn’t know half of his career. As kid I always knew him as Karate Kid teacher. It is nice to know his full story. Good documentary and well done

15.  Beatles Get Back – If you know me, I hate the Beatles.  I respect them for what they did for music. I did enjoy this documentary because of the behind the scenes in the studio. To me, this could have been shorter. I believe I ranked this just right

16. Val – I believe Val did what he wanted to do in his career to tell story of acting. I have to say this was a tough watch. This was super sad to see him like this but a good documentary.

17.  9-11 One Day in America – I remember this day like it was yesterday. I have to say this was a tougher watch over Val. This documentary digs down to the second of events that happened in the skies of American that day.

18.  Fake Famous – At the beginning of the year, this documentary was pretty high. I just felt like there were better docs that came out in 2020. This is still good one to watch how influencers are or not famous. It is amazing on how this team did the work.

19.  Son Of Sam Descent Into Darkness – I have to be honest. I am not sure how I feel about this documentary. I am pretty mixed on it.   I just felt reporter went to far. This could be true or not. 

20.  Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror – This documentary unlike the other 9-11 documentary. It starts before we went to war in that country and it ends with President Biden pulling the troopers. It is ok and I feel it should be at least in the top 20.

21.   Blood Brothers:  Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali – 1960s American has always perk my interested. I did like this documentary but I thought it was a little long. I still recommend it.

22.  Wework – After watching this documentary, I see a Wework sign. I always say how are they still in business. Watch this and you will see what I mean.

23,  Tiger King 2 – It was the perfect storm for season 1. World was shut down and nothing to do. Do not get me wrong, it was still good but not as good as the ones above and the first season.

24. History of Credit – This documentary was pretty interesting. It is Grandparents documentary style. It is boring but you will learn something.

25.   Camp Confidential: America’s Secret Nazis – It is funny that history class and books in the main stream do not talk about events like this. This might upset you about our government. I did not like cartoon part so that’s why it is 25.

In closing, this is a pretty solid list. I did enjoy most of the documentaries this year. I hope we do not get more Spears etc docs. I start looking at what is coming out for 2022. It looks promising. Until next time, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Wework Documentary Review


In this blog, we are getting into another documentary review on this ongoing series. I am going to review the Wework Documentary. Let’s get started.

Review

I did not know anything about this company. I thought they did great job explaining the back story of Wework. This documentary is done very well and covering everything. This documentary will make you like to dislike one person throughout the documentary. He comes across likeable and I believe that’s why this company got away with a few things. I highly recommend this documentary.

In closing, I did love this documentary. The next review will be older documentary. It is called Evil Genius. I hope you enjoyed this review and thank you for stopping by. Until then, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Cecil Hotel Review


In this blog, we are going to get into another documentary. It is called Cecil Hotel. It is four hours long in four parts. You can find this documentary on Netflix. Let’s into this review.

Review

This documentary is creepy and well done. It is about horror past of the hotel but mainly about the disappearance of a young woman from Canada. They did a nice job of breaking down her backstory to her passing. I am trying not to give up too much of the story. It is weird and odd story. If you love true crime stories, you will enjoy this documentary. This documentary is in my top five for 2021.

Closing, this documentary has been on my list for a bit. I could not stop watching it. I am not sure what my next one will be. I will do a review and put it up here. I hope you enjoyed this review and thank you for coming by today. Until next time, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Iron Sheik The Sheik Review


In this blog, we are going to get into a review on my ongoing Documentary Review Series.  Next doc that I will be reviewing is Iron Sheik The Sheik.  This is sports and entertainment doc about a legendary wrestler from the early days of WWF. Let’s get started.

Review

This documentary came out in 2014. It is about an hour and half long. If you are not a wrestling fan, this documentary does a very good job explaining and telling who the Sheik’s backstory and where he is today. This documentary does move at a slow pace that is the only issue that I had with it.  It did not hold anything back from his career. However, you see one wrestling documentary, you have seen them all.  I do recommend checking it out if you like docs or is a wrestling fan. 

In the end, I wanted to check out from all the true crime documentaries that I have been reviewing.  I believe that I have done that with this review.  I am going to get into a music documentary that was just released on HBO. I believe.  It is the Tina Turner documentary.  Not a fan but respect what she did in music.  Until next time, play hard and party on!   \m/

Cheers!

Staircase Review


In this blog, we are getting into another Documentary review. It is the 2005 doc on Staircases. This is about Mike Peterson’s wife falling down the stairs. Let’s get into it.

Review

This documentary is 13 parts almost an hour. It mainly covers the defense side from research, trail, etc. I feel like this documentary could have been half the size. It is way too long and they put a ton of fillers in it. They did not need to do that. They did a very good indepth look in everything. Overall, this is well done documentary. I do not trust it and believe everything that is in it. I partly feel like it is pretty scripted out.

Closing, if you have about 13 hours to watch this documentary. Go ahead and check it out. I feel that Netflix learned it’s lesson from this documentary. What I mean by that, all their newer documentaries are 2 to 4 hours long. I feel that is a good size. I will be doing a sports or music documentary next. Not sure which one but I hope you enjoyed this review. Thank you for all the support! Until next time, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Night Stalker Documentary Review


In this blog, we are going to get into the next documentary review. The next documentary that we are going to get into is Night Stalker How to Caught a Series Killer. Let’s get into it.

Review

Writers did a good job telling this disturbing story. They did a great job on the backstory on everything and climate of the cities and time. He was a new brand of a series killer. He was attacking kids, seniors to women. It did not matter for this guy. He had the city beyond stressed out and many thought some murders were random. Some to this day believe he killed more than what he was charged. I laughed pretty hard on how they arrested him. It just seemed pretty silly. This is one disturbing and sick individual.

Closing, I really enjoyed this documentary. I would love to listen to his interview tapes. I heard they are just like Ted Bundy ones. I highly recommend watching this documentary. It is on Netflix. They have been doing a good job their documentary. I am not sure what will be my next one. Maybe, Tiger Woods or I might drive and finish up the Staircase. Thank you for coming by and the support. If you like this post or need a guide, please, give me a follow through WordPress, Twitter, or email. Until next time, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Rolling Stones Crossfire Hurricane Review


In this blog, we are going to get into another review in my Documentary Series. This time around we are going to expore Rolling Stones Crossfore Hurricane. I will do a review. I will close it up with what I will be doing next in my series. Let’s go and stop wasting time.

Review

I do like how they did this documentary up. They used old interviews and videos back at that time to tell this story. It was nice to see the founder and leader Brian Jones before being kicked out of the band by Mick and Keith. They also tell the story of downward spinal of Jones after being kicked from the band. They were at a cross roads at that time in the band’s history. I did like how they explain the situation with the Hell’s Angels and Stones fan base during a show. They later went on to explain Ron Wood coming into the band.

In the end, I am sorry it took so long to get this post up. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience. Rolling Stones were clearly the bad boys to the Beatles. They were a very talented then and now. They are still making music to this day. This documentary gives long time fans or new ones a time machine to the past. This band has a rich history in music and this documentary told one chapter in this band’s history. It is very well done and I recommend watching fan or no fan of this band. I hope you enjoyed this review and thank you for coming by to read this post. I am not sure what my next post will be. There is Tiger Woods and Nightstalker documentary that were just released. Until then, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Bee Gees How To Mend A Broken Heart? Review


In this blog, we are going to get into another documentary in this on going series. We are going to get into Bee Gees How To Mend A Broken Heart? Let’s get started.

Review

I was not a bee Gees fan. I am sucker for documentary. I heard good things about this doc. I had to watch it. I have to say that I found a new respect for this band. This project has opened my eyes to the talent that they were. They were not just the disco band of the 1970s and created that whole sound. I did like how they broke down the history of the band and covering their other brother Andy Gibb. To the break up and the reunion that discover a new sound. This shows how this band moved with the times. Barry is keeping that fire alive today.

In closing, this is a very well written documentary. The people behind this doc did a very good job. I believe the Gibb family should be happy with this project. Bee Gees were a very talent group and they should get more credit than being disco band. I highly recommend that you check out this documentary. I believe that you will be like me and you find a new respect for this band. Until next time, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!

Last Dance Documentary Review


In this blog, we are getting into the second review of a documentary. It is Lasy Dance. This series is about the raise and end of Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. It is ten part series with each part being an hour long. I am not going to do the history of this team because this series does a really good job breaking down this era. I will jump right into the review. Let’s get into it.

Review

I felt this series was way too long. I also felt that it could have been four hours long to cover everything. However, they did a good job of breaking down in parts. I do love how they told the story of the raise of this team and players like Jordan to coach Phil Jackson. There was a point in series that I thought I was watching Steve Kerr documentary. That’s what I mean, it was not just a Phil Jackson or Michael Jordan documentary. I also loved how they went depth on the match ups in playoffs or regular season and Dennis’ vacation in Vegas. They did awesome job on this documentary. I just wished that they would have went in more depth of why Jordan went to baseball. Overall, I recommend watching this doc.

In the end, I will be honest. I was not a Bulls fan ever. I am a Pistons fan because I grew up in the Detroit area at that time. I really enjoyed third and fourth parts. I do resepect what Jordan and those great teams went through. What Pistons did to him, it birth super star calls aka Michael Jordan call. I do not care what team you back. If you are or are not a sports fan, you need to find ten hours of your time to watch this series. I will leave you on this note. It was seconds in the first part you heard Michael Jorden talking about himself in third person. I am not sure what I will be doing next. I am thinking true crime or history. I will put a poll on Twitter soon. Thank you for coming by and I hope you enjoyed this review. Of course, thank you for all the support. Until then, play hard and party on! \m/

Cheers!
