Movie #417 "Gasland" --- excellent and very instructional documentary about the problems with Natural Gas drilling --- people who live in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky, most particularly, are suffering from the results, and according to the movie, it will be affecting all of us very soon ---- it's on its way to NYC, if they accept the drilling. This movie was as instructional as "The Cove" (documentary win last year at the Oscars) was last year, but this is more universal of a theme. You gotta see this to believe it. It's very revealing --- it should be neck and neck in this category with "Exit through the Gift Shop" and "REstrepo" --- who knows about the other two, because John Q. Public cannot see them anywhere yet --- that's too bad. It would be nice to see these movies that are nominated BEFORE the academy awards!
I gave it 4 stars
GasLand
(2009) NR
In this Oscar-nominated documentary, director Josh Fox journeys across America to examine the negative effects of natural-gas drilling, from poisoned water sources to kitchen sinks that burst into flame to unhealthy animals and people. Is natural gas a viable alternative to the country's dwindling energy resources, or do the potential harmful consequences outweigh the positives? Fox's film raises these and many more probing questions.
