Truly Dreadful Film

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

... but it's entertaining. Roy Blount's sense of humor is sardonic and generally very dry -- unlike his subject, ba-DUM-bum! Some of the photography is absolutely gorgeous... until the Mighty Mississippi starts getting industrialized and heavily polluted, long about St. Louis. For those of us who live near-enough-to-be-interested, yet far-enough-not-to-see-it-regularly, it's a must-see documentary. Recommended!
