This is a gorgeously animated analysis of just how impactful human intervention can be, even when it is benign, on the flora and fauna of the Earth. It’s enthusiastically narrated by a biologist who explains her initial encounter with a species of Brazilian frog, only to find that when she returns next year they have all gone. Perhaps they will return? It’s only after contact with some Australian researchers that she discovers a virus that spreads effortlessly across the world now that mankind travels so comprehensively. These amphibians are easily enough treated in a laboratory, but the milli…

This isn’t so much a documentary as a combination of video witness statements, and though there is not one clinching piece of photography here, by using a multitude of real time sources from CCTV and from the body-cameras of the police officers on duty at the time, there can be little doubt as to what actually happened to “Snoop” as he walked down the street. Coming from a nation where is it is barely legal for a cop to carry a weapon let alone a pedestrian going about his business, I found this to be a pretty sad indictment of a society where people can stroll down the street with a gun in th…

We start off watching a young lad glued to the television where his American footballing idol “Isaiah” (Marlon Wayans) is out to set some records. An injury ensues during that game before we spool on until the young lad himself is now a budding superstar (Tyriq Withers) and after he’s been rather brutally thwacked on the head and suffered some brain swelling, his hero invites him to train at his underground desert compound where it becomes very clear that not only did he recover, mysteriously, from his on-field injury many years earlier but that he went on to become a legend of his sport. “Cam…

28 Years Later: The Boring Temple. The first hour concerns people irrelevant to the final goal. The kid is cool. The mom is cool. Why do I have to watch the rest? Would rather the focus be on resolving whatever situation with the guy they stole the baby from. That guy was cool. Had a human baby. That's pretty wild. Could have been better and shorter. (Funny note: I thought I had watched bone temple because of the bone temple at the end)…

"Wild at Heart" quickly becomes completely incomprehensible and mired down in David Lynch's typical quagmire of self indulgence which successfully aggravates, alienates and frustrates mainstream audiences just for the hell of it which is perfectly okay, but what isn't perfectly okay is when the story is abandoned even though it is still as inconclusive at the end as it was in the beginning. The problems confronting Sailor and Lula are never satisfactorily resolved and the character Johnnie Farregut actually goes completely AWOL and he is never heard from again. This is a watchable enough film …

(CASTELLANO) Hay algo muy reconocible en Ya era hora: esa sensación de ir siempre con prisa, de vivir con la cabeza en lo siguiente mientras la vida real pasa por el rabillo del ojo. La película juega con una idea conocida y nada revolucionaria, pero lo hace con una calidez que termina ganándote. No pretende reinventar nada, y quizá por eso funciona mejor cuando se limita a contar su historia sin grandes alardes. Es una tragicomedia italiana con moralina, sí, pero también con cierto encanto. El mensaje es claro desde muy pronto y no se esfuerza demasiado en ocultarlo, aunque tampoco res…

Born in Poland in 1923, Joe grew up with his parents and siblings in a musical household where he played the violin and was happy until the Nazis invaded. Worried for their safety, his parents split up and he, aged just seventeen, and his father headed for the Soviet section from where he was sent to Siberia for the duration. Returning and then making his way to New York after the war, he acquired a violin which over the years gave him much pleasure. Now, though, in his nineties and rarely playing he felt it time to pass it on. Locally, there’s a drive to collect unwanted musical instruments t…

I did quite like the style of the exaggerated human bodies here in this short Icelandic feature, but otherwise it seemed content to relish in stereotypes of coupledom that don’t really engage. From what I could see, there are half a dozen families involved and for ten minutes we follow the routine of their daily lives. There’s the kid who can’t stop gaming, the woman who can’t stop drinking, the gent who likes his food and an elderly woman - possibly the most fulfilled of all - who has some fun with Proust and then with her husband who has spent most of the day clearing a path through the snow…

a blight upon the name of Jane Austen. Every one involved in the making of this film might as well have spat on Austen's grave. I cry thinking of those who are introduced to the novel by this movie.…

Actuallly a rather poor series. It has a lot of very original thought and some great special efffects, but the stupidity of so much of it is just too hard to swallow - one simple example: at one point when the players are down in an undergorund lab with what they say are totally impenetrabal pollycarbinate windows that the creatures cannot possibly break through, well, they do break them, but a few scenes later, these same creatures cannot get through simple glass doors on the front of the building! I would not recommend this show to anyone over 12.…
