Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope Who are these guys, the beefy ones standing at the gates of nightclubs and discos deciding who gets in? Are they as beautiful as the beautiful people they control? I never tire of seeing what really happens behind the scenes, or of hearing about what really goes into other people’s occupations, and with this documentary I now know more about bouncers than I thought possible. For a bit of drama, there’s an opening at a hot club, so we follow a few wannabees who hope to get the job. I was rooting for the meek giant who lived with his mom. It’s a satisfying journey into a world you cross but never see. By Steven Cantor 2000, 71 min. Available from Amazon Rent from Netflix A bouncer grabs an unruly customer by the throat and throws him to the ground outside a nightclub. 23
Bowling for Columbine Michael Moore searches America (and Canada) for an answer to the question of why there are so many gun murders in the US. As a cardcarrying, gun-toting NRA member, Moore reveals this quest to be more complex than you might expect. Always the coyote trickster, Moore investigates with great entertainment, and does here what he does best, pressing hard when people try to squirm out of honest answers. For a subject that should be ponderously serious and somber, this is a subtle, surreal and funny trip, and one that can change your mind. By Michael Moore 2002, 120 min. Available from Amazon Rent from Netflix Michael more kills some time with teenagers in a game parlor shooting virtual guns (above). Later (top) he exits a bank with the free rifle they were giving away for starting a new account. 24
