Excuse Me, Your Oil is Crashing
Oil Crash (now titled, 'A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash') just opened for a run at the Royal. It was one of the more compelling docs at last year's Hot Docs (I watched it three times) and frankly, Peter Howell was on crack when he gave it a 2/4 rating. He complained that it doesn't have a happy ending (and the happy end is what rings hollow in 'An Inconvenient Truth') ... but we had drinks with the filmmakers at the festival and they explained that when they talked to the experts, none of them had much to say that was positive.
But the best thing about the movie? No Al Gore!
Anyhow ... Hot Docs is coming up: April 19-29. The list of films -- lots of films! -- is coming in a couple of weeks. Until then, I have ... no ... life ...
