New to Netflix in September are two kinds of undead: Season 5 of "The Walking Dead" and the revived-from-cancellation A&E series, "Longmire," which was saved by Netflix.
As far as movies, there's the restored version of the Oscar-winning 1962 epic "Lawrence of Arabia," Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom," the first three "Rambo" films, the terrific "The Bank Job" with Jason Statham and "Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom" with Idris Elba.
There are also period dramas you might have missed from last year with Jessica Chastain ("Miss Julie") and Mia Wasikowska ("Madame Bovary") and hey, "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl!"

Our Man in Tehran
Written by Drew Taylor & Robert Wright
Directed by Drew Taylor & Larry Weinstein
Canada, 2015
As the esteemed radio host Paul Harvey used to say, “And now for the rest of the story.” From Canada comes a fascinating new documentary about the daring extraction of 6 American Embassy workers from Tehran during the 1980 Iranian Hostage Crisis. While Ben Affleck’s critically-acclaimed espionage thriller, Argo, twisted the facts in pursuit of excitement, Our Man in Tehran uses these facts to capture the real-world drama. Insightful and provocative, this is one history lesson you won’t be sleeping through.
It’s not so much that Our Man in Tehran expands upon the themes and plot threads central to Argo so much as it takes a completely different perspective on them. A decidedly pro-American affair, Argo largely ignores the Canadian contribution to the operation. After all, the Canadians may have put their...

Informative but tedious talking-head doc Our Man in Tehran is for anyone who watched Argo and then wished to hear a ditzy, history-obsessed uncle ramble about the real-life political stakes of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. Co-directors Drew Taylor and Larry Weinstein inadvertently make well-spoken experts like former National Security Councilman Gary Sick and American Consulate officer Bob Anders look embarrassingly unfocused. They make Sick and Anders talk too much about the Carter administration's fraught attitude toward Ayatollah Khomeini and Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and not enough about Canadian diplomat Ken Taylor, the title subject and the man who sheltered the six American hostages who escaped Tehran during the retroactively named "Canadian Cap...

The timing couldn't have worked out better for directors Larry Weinstein and Drew Taylor. A year after "Argo" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on its way to Best Picture honours at the Oscars, their documentary "Our Man in Tehran" similarly premiered at Tiff, providing a fitting bookend with the previously under-told story of Canada's involvement in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis.
Far from being a reaction to Ben Affleck's film, the documentary was actually begun prior to "Argo," and simply aims to tell a fuller, more historically accurate version of the dramatic events in Tehran. This meant not only giving Canada and former Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor their proper due, but also many others who had their stories tweaked for the necessity of dramatic tension -- even Tony Mendez himself.

A little over a year ago, Ken Taylor unintentionally become the centre of controversy in absentia, when Ben Affleck's "Argo" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and had many Canadians complaining that Hollywood's version of events didn't give the country or the former Canadian ambassador to Iran enough credit when it came to their involvement in rescuing six Us diplomats from Tehran.
Now, a new documentary called "Our Man in Tehran" from directors Larry Weinstein and Drew Taylor (no relation to Ken), looks to set that record straight by filling in those gaps, as well as uncovering new information that many people in Canada and around the world probably don't know -- like Taylor's heavy involvement with the CIA in attempting to rescue the remaining 52 hostages at the American embassy as well.
Still, Taylor remains, for lack of a better word, diplomatic when discussing what "Argo" missed, and...
