Not many of the films available for viewing are in Criticker’s library (yet), but that’s no reason not to check out the works which are there. Carts of Darkness, for example, is an excellent full-length documentary about homeless men who’ve created their own extreme sport to pass the time.

Michael Moore‘s new film Slacker Uprising is available for free download, in its entirety, at SlackerUprising.com

As is the case with a lot of cool free stuff from the States, it’s not available to anyone outside of the USA or Canada. GRRRR! Don’t you recognize your fan-base is largely in Europe, Mr. Moore?!

The film chronicles Moore’s tour across American college campuses in the run-up to the 2004 Presidential Election. According to Moore, the “goal was to help turn out a record number of young voters and others who had never voted before. (That part was a success. Young adults voted in greater numbers than in any election since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote. And the youth vote was the only age group that John Kerry won.)”

Wow, all thanks to You: The Soul of the Liberal Machine, I’m sure. Actually, it’s probably a good thing that the film isn’t available to those of us outside the US… if it were, I’d feel compelled to watch it, and then would spend 3 weeks fuming about how obnoxiously self-impressed Mr. Moore is.

Amblin’ is the first completed film shot by Steven Spielberg on 35mm. The film is a short story set during the hippy era of the late ’60s about a young couple who meet up in the desert, become friends, then lovers and make their way to a paradisiacal beach.

I love finding these full length features.

This documentary takes viewers along surfing’s timeline, highlighting the group of extraordinary adventurers that emerged: surfers who, not satisfied with the mere recreational and social aspects of the sport, began searching for bigger and bigger waves, pushing the boundaries of performance to explore the "unridden realm."

How do you like it? Feel free to give Riding Giants a rating on Criticker.

His wife kidnapped by a megalomaniacal communist dictator, Shin Sang-ok is forced to make films to satisfy his new master’s evil whim! But that’s not even the plot of this film… just the true story of how it was made:

"Kim Jong-il later confessed to me that the reason he kidnapped my wife first was because he wanted me to come and make films for him," Shin Sang-ok said. Kim Jong-il is film mad. Soon after the couple arrived in Pyongyang he took them for a private tour of his film library, which holds more than 15,000 movies. Keen to add to them, he placed $2.5m into an Austrian bank account and told Mr Shin that the money would be available for him to make "good" films. Read Full Story here via BBC

Feel like watching the whole movie right now? Well, you can, if you are located in the US! Jackass 2.5 is the first movie to premiere first online, and you can watch the whole thing from 12/19 until 12/31! Since I’m not fortunate enough to live in the states, I can’t say whether or not the film is any good… But if you live outside of the US and have discovered a way to watch it, please leave a comment.

And now: Watch Jackass 2.5

“Super Size Me” is one man’s journey into the world of weight gain, health problems and fast food. It’s an examination of the American way of life and how we are eating ourselves to death. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide and by subjecting himself to a ’McDonald’s only’ diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it horrifying as it dives into corporate responsibility, nutritional education, school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.

Don’t forget to rank “Super Size Me” on Criticker when you’re done watching it.
