Tom Naughton Movies

Comedian and former health writer Tom Naughton dispenses with the false truths perpetuated in such documentaries as Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me by demonstrating why nearly everything the public has been told about obesity and healthy eating is pure bologna. By losing weight on a high-fat, fast food diet comprised of such dreaded artery-hardeners as double Quarter Pounders and fried chicken, Naughton proves that it's entirely possible to maintain a healthy weight while not depriving ourselves of our favorite foods. Conversations with doctors, nutritionists, and political scientists back up Naughton's claim that government agencies, researchers, scientists, and alarmist documentaries have made Americans so frightened of food that we're losing our ability to enjoy what we eat. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

It marked one of the strangest and most beguiling series of events in memory, and one convincing enough to challenge even the most hardened skeptics. Marrieds Andy and Lisa Wyrick found their world turned upside-down when their four-year-old daughter, Heidi, claimed to be enjoying regular visits with "Mr. Gordy," a gray-haired older man who would regularly chat with her and push her on a swing. Curiously, no one else could ever see Mr. Gordy, and instead, the Wyricks often found their daughter sitting in her room and blankly having conversations with an empty space. Soon, Heidi identified a second figure, known as Con - this one a slightly malevolent, one-armed figure covered in blood - and began to witness a faceless apparition drifting through the house. Curiously, the parents researched the phenomenon and indeed found that two deceased neighbors, named Mr. Gordy and Con, had once inhabited the premises. The situation grew direr when the spirits began harming the family - Heidi turned up with claw marks in her face, and Andy with claw marks on his side. With nothing else left to do, the family summoned parapsychologist Dr. William Roll. This documentary travels inside of the Wyricks' eerie case for a point-by-point examination of the details. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

In the early 1990s, at the height of the Persian Gulf War, a cadre of British SAS commandos received orders to risk their safety and their lives by infiltrating Iraq, and locating and dismantling a network of mobile scud missile launchers. Terrifyingly, they wound up behind enemy lines, ensnared by the myopia of poor government intelligence and forced to contend with one another and the disadvantageous situation for survival. In the documentary release Special Forces: Untold Stories: The British SAS - Attack in the Desert, director Tom Naughton relays this suspenseful and seldom-heard story of military life on the edge. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
