Once again, it is \u201cNo Theme November\u201d here at Catching Up On Cinema!

\n

We'll be reviewing whatever the f*ck we want for the next 4 weeks, so expect little to no consistency between picks this month.

\n

This week, Trevor conducts a solo review of Paul Jay's documentary, Hitman Hart: Wrestling with Shadows (1998)!

\n

Centered around the subject of legendary wrestler Bret \u201cThe Hitman\u201d Hart, the documentary is a gripping and candid examination of the world of professional wrestling during the \u201cMonday Night War\u201d.

\n

Using \u201cThe Montreal Screwjob\u201d as both framing device and climax, the film serves as one of the more honest examinations of the fateful events of Survivor Series '97, far more raw than many of the WWE Studios produced documentaries that would be released in subsequent years.

\n

Additionally, this review also includes mention of the director's follow up mini-doc, The Life and Death of Owen Hart, which was also included on the Canadian International Pictures blu-ray disc.
