Absolutely the worst movie.
Dirtylogy
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This happened to be on television, and I immediately decided to check it out when I looked it up, a few hours before it came on. I am very glad that I did. I have never heard of this before, but I instantly got into it. This follows two talented stunt women, one who's been in the business for decades(does the title Wonder Woman ring a bell?) and one who came into it much more recently(and worked on Xena!). It is quite engaging, and whilst it features numerous celebrities and a sequence from a nightclub, after-party kind of thing, it does not at any point lose itself in the glamour, or become a mere promotional piece. What really drives this is the personal touch, the people. There are interviews with big names, including Spielberg. This is well-edited, and the pace is great, not too fast and not slow. There are clips from the movies and shows they appeared in, conventions for The Warrior Princess, an awards ceremony, and you get an idea of what it's like to try to make a living for this duo. The music is fitting and cool. This is informational, entertaining and interesting. Also, Bell is *hawt*; I'm thrilled to see that she's had a lot of jobs since this was produced, and she's apparently acting some, too. There is a little strong language and sexual dialog(and imagery, well, skimpy outfits) in this. I recommend this to any fan of film and those who want to know about the industry. 8/10

This is a pretty cool and interesting documentary if you understand the subject matter going into it.The movie primarily takes a look at two Holllwood stunt woman: Jeannie Epper, who doubled for Lynda Carter during the Wonder Woman series run, has been working in the business for approx 30yrs and comes from a whole family of professional stunt men and women; and Zoe Bell, a New Zealand native & young up and comer who doubled for Xena during that shows six seasons who is now looking to make her mark here in L.A./Hollywood.We get the background of each woman, a look at the difficulties that women face in the business, a lot of celebrity interviews, and some additional celebrity cameos that the filmmakers shot while making the film.What I particularly enjoyed was the immediate bond between Epper and Bell. Epper seems to take Bell under her wing rather quickly by helping with valuable training and allowing her to stay at her home while she struggles to get work and make her own name in the stunt woman profession. It's a nice inside look that goes to show not everyone in "the business" is just out for themselves. Epper comes across with genuine eagerness, kindness, and integrity as she guides Bell through the Hollywood machine.If the plot line so far interests you, or your a fan of shows like Wonder Woman and Xena, then this documentary should not disappoint.Recommended.

I had the pleasure of seeing this film at Toronto's International Film Festival in 2004. Not only was I impressed by the film, but so were the two guys I saw it with. "I'm a guy, and I feel empowered!" is what one of them said to Zoe as we scrambled after the Q&A session to get autographs. That is easiest way for me to sum up how that film made everyone I knew feel that saw it. It is a documentary that, because of it's pacing, feels like an action feature. This film was able to get across to the audience how truly important the role of a stunt double, female or otherwise, is. I would recommend this film to anyone and hope that it gets picked up soon for release onto DVD.On a side note: Thank you to all the cast and crew my friends and I met at the film festival for being so kind and gracious to a group of flustered film students. Especially Amanda Micheli for giving us posters and letting us borrow her Sharpie.

Director Micheli weaves a compelling story of two stunt women from different generations that's gripping, funny and a unique story you're not going to see anywhere else. I highly recommend this fast paced fascinating documentary. Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell really pour their hopes and dreams out. Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg make an appearance because they care about what stunt women bring to the table. See it.
