Stillwater (2020)
Zen for all ages
This is the best TV program for kids. We enjoy watching it as a family. The lessons on mindfulness and gratitude are unmatched in any other kids program. A real gem. Thank you for the makers and AppleTV.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Why all the hate?
I had to write this review only to balance all the negative reviews out there. I believe the haters missed the point. The director delivered a simple message in total clarity and simplicity. With beautiful cinematography and a slow pace that goes well with the intimate emotions experienced in the movie. You will leave this movie feeling grateful for your own life and home, and motivated to take care of your loved ones and the environment. This is our home, take care of it.
Surely I would have liked to know more about what happened to earth, what caused the radiation, where the humans hid, and what happened to them at the end...but that's not the point of the movie!
The movie wants to tell you something, and for me the message was beautifully delivered.
Religulous (2008)
Just for laughs, but not credible at all!
I gave this film 4 out of 10 just because Bill Maher is a funny guy, but I think he should stick to comedy!! I was really disappointed by the film itself. I mean he was preaching all film long that he is agnostic/atheist, & the minute he met that Rabbi who is 'Jewish but not Zionist', who did not fit into his classic half-Jewish upbringing ideas, he just stormed out of the room!! how is that any different from the catholic extremists that stormed out of the room when Maher was confronting them with ideas that did not fit THEIR ideas! From that point on, I could not see him as a credible presenter at all. Jumping at several points to throw the holocaust card for no reason at all! Mixing religion and politics at so many points, a pitfall of all people who either 'did not read their books' or are 'spreading propaganda'. putting images of Qadafi and Arafat along with the commentary 'religious extremists'!! these guys are socialist atheists that show up at mosques from time to time when they are sober with a TV camera! Being of a Jewish upbringing myself, now agnostic, I felt that this film was made by another Jewish guy, not atheist or agnostic as he wants us to believe, i just could not buy it! I did not find his film well researched or credible at all. Too shallow for my taste. It is funny if what u r looking for are some laughs, but that is all!
Free Zone (2005)
This film goes nowhere...& not in a good way!
This film was one of the worst 10 movies i have ever seen, & maybe the worst dialogue i have EVER heard! This is not because i am a traditional movie fan, quite the contrary i LOVE film d'auteur, artistic films & open-end movies, but this film is NOT one of them, it pretends to be, but definitely is not. No dialogue, no coherence, no consistency. This is not my first Amos Goitae movie, & i think that this director is an artist in AVOIDING THE SUBJECT! He has excellent setting for his films, but he always manages to get out of context & spoil the whole subject. What a pity, this region of the world has so many stories, it only needs a good storyteller! Don't waste your time with this one!
Red Eye (2005)
a complete waste of time!!
Your typical Hollywood thriller/action movie, only worse, why? because it was silly, all the suspense is completely foreseeable, except maybe for film newbies! plot is hollow, would rather make a bad short movie, than a bad feature! typical bad Russians against good blond politician! & what about the woman making a phone call to make sure the politician is OK, even before she calls her won father who is under a death threat! & don't even ask me how she turned into a superhero!at the end, she dealt with the "scary assassin" as if he was a school boy from 'Scary Movie'! to sum it up, i did not like it, & i want my 2 hours back!
