Dragon (2006)
Fantasy for 12 year olds
If you are 12 or like minded then you will not mind all the poor qualities attributed to this film. The fact it got produced is amazing and someone's faith saw it through. It gets a ten for believing in that faith, but no amount of faith can rescue this movie from the minds of men, and very few children. Women might have some empathy for the film, but such compassion should be directed to herself for sitting through the first five minutes. At least she will get a good laugh, but what little amusement there is will wain away as fast as the streaking dragon.
This movie is a testament to how ego and faith can be so blind to reality.
Dog Lover's Symphony (2006)
Interesting concepts
This one is worth watching for three reasons. 1) Its unseemly idealism 2) Alaina Kalanj, 3) dogs.
The movie is unrealistic about the world at large hence it tries to show an ideal world, but as a spoiler warning it does have some hard reality about life in two instances in the film. They both come suddenly and their unpolished nature creates a kind of brutal reality that real life throws at us. I suggest you watch it for yourself and comment here on it.
Alaina Kalanj acts without acting. She is a natural. It is uncanny. She was a kindred spirit to the dogs which if she did act that way well then she is very good at it, and if she didn't then she is proof of the film's message. I can see her in certain roles, and I would cast her.
The wedding scene at first struck me as nonsense, but later I can see a person going through with it, and to keep an open mind that one may perceive a moment in a way that no one else does is worth considering. Our minds are truly capable of having these magical moments gain reality in life.
What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004)
A film that stimulates
I am giving this film a 10 because of its intent to present theories that are not normally presented to a wide audience. The fact that it causes the viewers to conflict their learned knowledge with thoughts that may be foreign to themselves is good. This conflict is enriching. I find it wonderful that so many reviewers posted their thoughts in countering this movie's messages. If just one soul, and I am not sure what that is, finds something within it to go and discover more of man's thoughts; well then I consider it a home run for it is within that realm where the next great thing is. I would like to see past and future reviewers place their recommendations for further reading. I will recommend Walden. Lastly, isn't the Internet which is a totally man made invention a great example of how more thoughts can be given the freedom to exist and be born into a higher awareness.
