IRA GLASS FAVORITES On SUNDANCENOW DOC CLUB

SUNDANCENOW DOC CLUB PRESENTS IRA GLASS FAVORITES

SundanceNow Doc Club, the member-based advertising-free streaming video service dedicated to documentaries, announced today that IRA GLASS FAVORITES, a program of films hand-picked by the legendary "This American Life" host, is now live on DocClub.com.

Glass selected seven of his favorite documentaries of all time to share with Doc Club members. His picks include: Bennett Miller's THE CRUISE; Errol Morris' FIRST PERSON: LEAVING THE EARTH and THE THIN BLUE LINE; Ra'anan Alexandrowicz's THE LAW IN THESE PARTS; Richard Press' BILL CUNNINGHAM, NEW YORK; Ross McElwee's SHERMAN'S MARCH; and Jonathan Demme's STOP MAKING SENSE.

Rarely seen titles THE CRUISE, from FOXCATCHER director Miller, and THE LAW IN THESE PARTS are both currently not available for streaming anywhere else online.

Of his selections, Glass said: "I like documentaries that conceive of themselves as entertainments. All these films have genuinely surprising moments and compelling characters. They're emotional. Each has a completely original take on the world. That's what I thought this list was. Then I wrote up my notes for this program and noticed that every film on the list has also inspired me in some way. Either it got me totally excited for making my own documentary stories, or simply - in the case of Bill Cunningham and Speed Levitch and David Byrne - made me want to be a better person, more awake to the world, more disciplined and effective and inventive at my work. I don't think of myself as someone in the market for inspiration but I guess got it from these movies. Corny, sure. And so what?"

Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS In Austin

By
Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on December 5th at 7:30 PM in Austin. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
