Grizzly Man



Grizzly Man: Not even sure how to review this film. I really think it is up to the viewer to decide how to take this movie……it is strange, but one thing is for sure – you will want to talk about it. It is a documentary about the life of Timothy Treadwell – who spent 13 years of his life living among wild grizzly bears in Alaska. He brings along video equipment and really does achieve some amazing visuals….walking up to the bears without fear. He did this for 13 years and then was eaten by one of the bears…..who also went on to devour Timothy’s girlfriend. It is a true story, no joke! Director Werner Herzog got a hold of all the footage Timothy shot and made this film for all to see. In between we have clips of people in Timothy’s life talking about him, some good – some bad. Timothy Treadwell is a very strange character….almost mentally disturbed. He actually wants to be a bear. His strange behavior will split your emotions on whether to laugh or to feel sorry for him. This is a must see.

  1. As soon as the chilly winds Abercrombie Polos initially start to blow every year as autumn sets in; people go to their closets Abercrombie Polos and pull out their sweaters dog coats and ed hardy Hats jackets to ensure that they are comfortable as the temperature drops. Your Ed Hardy Sale dog deserves this equal treatment so when you pull out yours, do Ed Hardy Sale remember to pull out your dog's warm dog clothes as well.If the night is chilly, but Ed Hardy Swimwear not quite freezing, even something as Ed Hardy Swimwear simple as a warm dog sweater will help you to keep your dog warm.
