You probably don't need Mandroid to tell you that recent years have seen the lowly documentary undergoing a revivial. No longer is it a genre of sober observation, it's now often a vehicle for the documentary-makers opinions and personaltiy. For example, in the past you had the sober and scholarly Faces of Death, now you get the delightful Jackass: The Movie.

We've also seen the rise of 'reality' TV, and with it the what was called the first 'reality' movie, The Real Cancun. This ridiuculous claim ignored over one hundred years of film history, and the film was a much-deserved dud.
