I've been a fan of Tupac Shakur for years, I would say I am a obsessive one. I own all of his albums and I've seen all of his movies. The new documentary, Tupac: Resurrection, answers just about every question anyone may have. So watch it
There have been many unauthorized movies about the life of Tupac, a.k.a. 2Pac, but this is the first one officially commissioned by his mother, Afeni Shakur. Tupac Amaru Shakur, born Lesane Parish Crooks, was born ... ...In September of 1996, Tupac was leaving the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with Death Row Records label head Marion "Suge" Knight when they were the victims of a drive-by shooting. On September 13, 1996, he passed away at the age of 25, six days after the shooting.

Advantages: A marvellous visual poem Disadvantages: A bit dated, a bit self-indulgent?
...beloved Super-8 home movies, and the aim is not to tell a conventional story.
The film is an attempt to put Jarman's life and works in the context of contemporary (ie Thatcher's) Britain, which means firstly that the film has dated slightly and secondly that it makes most sense to people who already have an interest in Jarman's films. There are plenty of social realist films from the eighties that provide equally incisive and perceptive satires ... ...music brings some order to the chaos (although composer and cellist Jocelyn Pook can't have been pleased to have her name mis-spelled in the credits).
Jarman's outlook is perhaps a depressing one, as the film concentrates on inner-city decay, totalitarian state and nuclear conflict, but I believe that Jarman was a film genius with a unique vision. The low budgets he had to work with only brought out the best in his imagination. ...

...faced bunch of Royal Marine Commando recruits all the way through 32 weeks of basic training. With complete access to every part of the training process he follows the good times and the bad of each of the recruits and something that I felt made the documentary that little more exciting was that he also took part in the training himself, Chris Terrill was 55 years old. The Program was originally aired in 2007 for ITV; at the beginning you see the ... ...of becoming a Royal Marine Commando and receiving the coveted Green Beret so that they can become elite soldiers that look a million miles away from the guys that they were 32 weeks earlier.
