Aside from "Dirty Harry", John Milius has never been my cup of tea. That, and "Used Cars". I've just never gravitated towards his stuff. But here comes "Milius", a documentary that, just in its first three minutes paints a enthralling picture of the larger-than-life man's man storyteller that makes for great subject matter. This movie had me glued to the screen, wanting to know more about the guy whose passion governed his movie-making; who brings a gun into a story meeting; the inspiration for Walter Sobchack, one of my favorite movie characters; the rebel filmmaker, always going the other way.
And "Milius" is a terrific movie, chock-full of entertaining stories and no shortage of commentary from industry pros. It's a movie that absolutely needed to be made, and I'm wholeheartedly glad I got to see it.
8/10
