Breathtakingly beautiful scenery... Death defying bravery. It's all about the feeling...

posted by Mags, 20 May 2011
"We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort, and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.
For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film.

by Scarlettrose- 17, 3 December 2010
Only film has the power to sway people’s emotions, manifest ideas with moving images and action, conjuring images that remain in thoughts and memories--making the film going experience not just an ephemeral emotion that vanishes into thin air once the lights come on.
JayHo-22 reviews 1997 film GATTACA, and How Our Work and Efforts Matter
by JayHo-22, 13 September 2010
"The most unremarkable of events. Jerome Morrow, navigator first class, is about to embark on a one year manned-mission to Titan, the fourteenth moon of Saturn. A highly prestigious assignment. Although for Jerome, selection was virtually guaranteed at birth. He's blessed with all the gifts required for such an undertaking. A genetic quotient second to none. No, there is truly nothing remarkable about the progress of Jerome Morrow. Except that I am not Jerome Morrow."
-Vincent Freeman
In this third of the movie series, Spiderman returns to protect the city and continue his crime fighting. His sudden popularity results in a combination of showmanship and extreme cockiness. He is drunk on a high from his newfound widespread appeal.

by Peace, 10 August 2010
Dear Readers

As superheroes' go, Spiderman has a special place because we see him struggling with his human frailties such as a need for revenge, lack of confidence and facing up to his personal demons.

Tag-line “His people needed a leader. He gave them a champion”
"François, thank you for what you have done for our country." – Nelson Mandela as he handed over the 1995 Rugby World Cup to SA captain Francois Pienaar
"No, Mr. President. Thank you for what you have done." – Pienaar
After the fall of apartheid, how did Nelson Mandela seek to build bridges between all his people? How significant was South Africa's 1995 Rugby World Cup win?
D9 is a thoroughly entertaining film straight from the get go! The fast paced plot, peels back to reveal the dark side of human nature; our fear of the unknown, our distrust of outsiders, our reluctance to understand differences, even our need to exploit others for our own advantage. In the end, you end up rooting for the aliens! The film is an effective social commentary for some of the modern ills of the world.
Sweet Sixteen? Directors John Hughes and Yasmin Ahmad – A Tribute
by Nomadic Chris, 13 August 2009
“I listen to kids. I respect them” – John Hughes, Film Director
Director / writer John Hughes, a name forever connected with teenage angst, dates gone awry, rights of passage, close friendships, sadly passed away recently.
For a whole generation of young adults who grew up in the eighties and nineties, this is great loss. Not only did John Hughes make entertaining films with interesting characters, he had a deep sense of empathy for teens; their everyday lives and dilemmas.
