That was an excellent one.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View Moreaccidents happen, sounds like this lady stopped at MacDonalds bit down on the bad tooth, was in terrible pain, and drank and smoked some pt to help relive the bad pain she was in not realizing what it was going to do to her.Jay Schuler seems like a really special person, nice lady for sure
View MoreThis should have been about an hour. What this film comes down to is one more test to see if Diane was drunk or not when she fatally killed 8 people with her van.There is many victims of this car accident. Diane's husband is also a victim. His wife died as well as daughters. He is now a single father. He believes his wife's autopsy report was wrong. The report says her blood alcohol was .19. You are legally drunk .08 and above!Now my opinion about this woman was that since her husband and herself worked opposite shifts he did not know she was heavy drinker. To this day I am sure he doesn't think she was but trust me .19 meant she was most likely not a "Casual Drinker". With that being said I do feel bad for him. We learn in this documentary that he is still struggling with loss. WE also see he is now a victim of internet bullying. People should leave him alone. This is worth watching however this entire would have been more effective if they had edited it down. Many of the same things get repeated by the same people.
View MoreI was both shocked & intrigued by this documentary. For me, the most shocking part of the whole store was that Diane evidently believed that the most appropriate time to crack a open a bottle of vodka and skin up a joint was when she had a car full of kids, two of which were her own.However, the one thing that this documentary fails to accurately portray is just how much alcohol Diana had consumed. The toxicologist merely states that she had 10 drinks in her system plus six grams in her stomach that had yet to enter her blood stream. 0.19 BAC is roughly ten drinks in the US, but one shot of vodka is 0.15 fl.oz, this multiplied by ten is 15 fl.oz. A US pint is 16 fl.oz. Baring in mind the six grams that was still in her stomach. DIANE HAD DRUNK A FULL PINT OF VODKA!!!This combined with the joint she had smoked (all within a couple of hours). Believe me, she was totally oblivious to her situation. I'm amazed she got as far as she did before disaster struck. What a tragedy that she could not wait until she was home.
View MoreUnfortunately this documentary hadn't yet been listed on IMDb when I caught it a couple months ago on HBO. I would have taken notes to bolster this review. Even without them, I am still left in awe of what was created here.The filmmakers start with an appalling news event and turn it into a work of art that is rich in both cinematic appeal and psychological interest.I am still haunted by the images, apparently taken by plane or glider, of the infamous short stretch of suburban highway on which a seriously impaired mother managed to drive the wrong way, killing herself and five of the six children in her car. These overhead shots create a sense of foreboding and dread over a tree-filled landscape that ordinarily would seem idyllically bucolic.The filmmakers do an excellent job trying to piece together what might have gone wrong, providing lots of background on the normally high-achieving woman behind the wheel, the husband she left behind who wants to remember well of her, and others such as an aunt who dotes on the one child who survived the crash with neurological and other injuries.The film includes some shocking footage of the death scene so be forewarned. In addition, the derivation of the title is never explained. Did one of the nieces in the backseat call for help from a cell phone? This is a superbly crafted real-life horror story.
