Owen Hart
 Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows - 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition $19.95 I am a pleased owner of this two disc set and its an amazing documentary. I love documentaries and this is one of my all time favorite films. I don't want to get into a debate of wrestling and its sub plots but lets suffice to say this exposes much of the hype and behind the scenes politics. The back stabbing that went on during this period are legendary in wrestling circles and the actors/athletes that double crossed Brett Hart went on to make a fortune in the game which shows you how little honor has to do with anything anymore. The bonus disc on his brother Owen who tragically died in a poorly planned and ridiculously dangerous stunt in conjunction with another event could be of interest again to non wrestling fans. I can't recommend this highly enough truly a 5 star film.  Broken Harts: The Life and Death of Owen Hart $18.95 This reads a lot like a tragedy novel, only this one is a cold hard true story. It's not for the faint-hearted. The details of Owen's death are upsetting to read, and the pain that Martha (and all of us) feel is vivid and personal. I can't imagine what it must have been like to write. I wish to thank Martha Hart for battling the tears to write this book. |
