Small Screen Small Screed

I'm a big fan of Jon Ronson so I was chuffed to finally see his short documentary called Stanley Kubrick's Boxes - it's a quiet little film about Ronson rooting about in the innumerate boxes of research Kubrick collected over the years. There's small contributions from his family and former colleagues but it's the content of the boxes that provide the greater insight into one of the best directors of the 20th C.


Soul Train: The Hippest Trip In America is great documentary from that VH1 Rock Docs series I keep forgetting about. A potted history of Don Cornelius' groundbreaking dance show there's plenty of interesting stories from the array of talking heads but just not quite enough clips for me. Must start digging around for episodes.
