Stars in the Sky: A Hunting Story (2018)
Avoiding the difficult questions
Maybe it is just not for me, but this film involves interviews with a succession of people who love nature, and wildlife, but none of whom can really explain the necessity of killing wildlife to draw satisfaction from this relationship. Perhaps I just don't understand?
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Watch it
This is a really entertaining movie, and heralded an exciting debut for the writer/director. The plot is not really as far fetched as it seems, reflecting worst case scenarios of capitalist greed, market power and technology, bringing forth the possibility of a modern day slave labour. The main characters are interesting and compelling, even if the bad guys are quite comic book. The dialogue is zesty, witty and fast paced.
The Dawn Wall (2017)
Determination like rock
This is an excellent and fascinating documentary, but have you seen free solo? Same rock, but if you can even imagine it, an even bigger achievement.
Sangre en la boca (2016)
Intense, passionate and story
This is a really intense and passionate tragedy, with excellent acting. It is an vivid illustration of how quickly peoples lives and relationships can become disintegrate. The ratings don't do this film justice at all.
The Bucket List (2007)
Very entertaining
Great fun. Pick up some good tips too, on how to approach your end of days.
The Game Changers (2018)
An overwhelming case for adopting a plant based diet
This documentary clearly articulates the benefits of a plant based diet on human beings. The exploration begins with a top athletes desire to recover more quickly from injury, to his realisation that other top athletes have realised its positive impact on performance in general. Further, it will help you recover your health and improve your chances of avoiding or recovering from some of the lifestyle diseases that plague our society. Look forward to rediscovering your vitality and that of your loved ones, even as we age! Essential viewing!
Virunga (2014)
The sadly never ending story of corporate greed and destruction
This is the story of sacrifices some brave people are making to protect our planet for future generations. To do so they are fearlessly defying the greed driven manipulations of certain western corporates seeking enrichment by trying to control other people's resources. They do not care about the cost in human lives, human development, or the destruction of other species like the mountain gorillas. And of course, they deny all responsibility for actions taken in their name.....
The Ivory Game (2016)
The desperate and deadly war to save the elephant
This is a must see documentary about the desperate battle to save the elephant from extinction, and at the same time save some remnants of the beautiful natural heritage of a planet for future generations. We say we love our children, but what kind of world are we leaving them. See the front line defenders of these majestic beasts in some of Africa's leading game parks, as well as dedicated investigators and campaigners around the world, bravely trying to stop the criminal and barbaric syndicates from plying their deadly trade.
The Last Castle (2001)
Disgraced General overcomes his prison boss
Proof that great men can overcome any circumstances? Maybe not, but this is a well crafted and entertaining film about how with leadership and unity of purpose, men can triumph over repressive regimes, and in so doing, realise the best in themselves. A prison boss with a fragile ego and violent impulse is humiliatingly dethroned by a disgraced but legendary former general, who became his prisoner and thereafter his nemesis.
Watership Down (2018)
Great stories live forever
A beautiful reminder of the timeless classic tale by Richard Adams. This masterpiece was disguised as a children's story, but almost certainly captivated as many adult readers. All the tension, emotion, fear and exhilaration are captured in these pictures.
