    Searching for Skylab, America's Forgotten Triumph

    ★★★★

    Searching for Skylab is a very interesting and fun documentary. The participants, from what feels to me like the least-known American spaceflight project, finally get to tell their story. I loved hearing their first-hand experiences of the missions that paved the way for the continuous human presence in low Earth orbit that we take for granted today. The director's decision to present the interviews, filmed during the production of this project, in black and white made the colorful original footage feel even more vibrant and lifelike to me. I highly recommend it to every spaceflight enthusiast, young and old.

    Dead Man

    This film's just bloody awful!
    The score sounds like Neil Young's torturing his cat throughout most of the runtime.
    Why is everybody so impressed by the "do you know my poetry" line?
    There's nothing clever about asking perfect strangers whether they're familiar with your hobbies before shooting them.
    This film's seems rather pretentious to me.
    It's filled with absolutely meaningless dialog and people without any discernable motivation or goal.
    If you're looking for two hours of people having two different conversations at once, look no further than dead man. What a waste of celluloid.
