| Jon (my best friend) and I talk on a very regular basis. The conversations vary anywhere from the Denver Broncos to the price of home improvement items. What we talk most about is movies. Jon is one of the few people that I know that share the same passion I do about film. We don't always see eye to eye with movies (he liked The Grudge, yikes) and we certainly do not when It comes to politics. That's why I was surprised recently, when he gave me one of the best recommendations in a long time. The recommendation was a HBO documentary series called Vice. |
Vice is nothing like anything I have seen on TV. The best way I can explain it is it's like an R-rated 60 minutes with tattoos and battle scars. Hands down the best video journalism i have ever seen. The network news is so objective and distant that it constantly shows the world with a certain hue and vanilla lens. Vice is a show that will you give you the stories the way they should be told. Raw, non apologetic and with courage. It's not trying to spoon feed the viewer with left/right bull. It's attempt is to show the viewer reality. The way it is. That's it.
VERDICT 10/10 (A work of art, stop what you're doing and watch this. Now.)
