Happy: This was an interesting look at what makes people happy. Biggest lesson from the movie: Happiness is a choice. I loved the personal stories throughout. Thought provoking.
Beware of Christians: While I didn’t agree with their theological opinions 100%, I did think that this movie was a good look at religion from the perspective of today’s generation. Lots to think about and it challenged me to learn my faith more as a response.
Lost Angels: This movie takes a look at life for the homeless on Skid Row. I found it fascinating and heartbreaking. Even within the homeless population, people crave community and a place where they feel they belong. I do believe there was a slight political spin at the end, but other than that, I felt it was well done.
Catching Hell: If you are a Boston or a Chicago baseball fan, this ESPN documentary is a must-see. It explores the idea that fans use a single incident as a scapegoat to explain decades of losing. I know I have uttered the name Buckner with gritted teeth, but not after watching this movie!
The Business of Being Born: A look at modern obstetrics and midwifery. I have only had positive experiences with hospital births, but I do think home births are beautiful too. While I do think there was an obvious slant toward midwifery and a few scare tactic scenes, I found the movie interesting and pretty informative.
