Articles tagged "as themselves" TV ReviewSurvivorby Dan FrenchSurvivor's tone is very difficult to locate, and while this elusiveness may be more than the producers intend, it's just as possible to surmise that they know what they're doing and that teasing the audience with its own naivete is their way of undermining the medium even as they exploit it so well.  Film ReviewTrembling Before G-d (2001) - PopMatters Film Review )by Devon PowersHandles uncomfortable material with bravery and tender force; it is utterly human and unrelenting in its challenges to assumptions.  Film ReviewGimme Shelter (1970/2000)by Norma CoatesSixties rock and roll festivals -- given their large crowds of people, lack of sanitary facilities, bad drugs, and shortages of food and water -- were catastrophes waiting to happen.
