5 Movie Clips from Disneynature’s OCEANS

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 17th, 2010 at 2:23 pm

With Disneynature’s Oceans hitting theaters on Earth Day (April 22), we’ve been given 5 clips to help promote the release.  Narrated by Pierce Brosnan and directed by Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, Oceans features “spectacular never-before-seen imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies.” At least that’s what the synopsis says.

If you are interested in seeing Oceans, Disneynature will make a contribution to The Nature Conservancy to save coral reefs in honor of every guest who sees the film during opening week (April 22-28, 2010).  So you can go see a movie and feel like you’re saving the planet.  Not a bad deal.  Hit the jump for the clips and more info on Oceans:

Z Criterion DVD Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: November 1st, 2009 at 8:34 am

Costa-Gavras’s Z is the ultimate political thriller. Much like the earlier Battle of Algiers (1968)  it takes a real event, and uses it as fodder for cinema. And as a paranoia piece, 1969′s Z is a masterpiece.  It’s an angry film, spurned by the events of 1963, where a Greek politician was assassinated, and was murdered partly by the police, and the regime at the time. It’s a film that can make you angry about events of nearly a half century ago, and yet the echoes of the actions are still resonant. My review after the jump.

Reviews of THE COVE AND OCEANS – Tokyo International Film Festival

by David Corbin    Posted: October 19th, 2009 at 9:32 am

“Oceans” and “The Cove” took decidedly different paths on their way to being screened at the 2009 Tokyo International Film Festival (Here’s my first article on the Fest). “Oceans,” from French directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, a film which is at turns a breathtaking nature documentary and an exhortation to protect the beauty and majesty of the sea, was a natural choice to open the world’s only environmentally minded film festival. “The Cove,” on the other hand, almost did not make the cut despite its previous festival successes, including the Audience Award at Sundance. The film, directed by famed National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, also stresses ecological responsibility but does so by exposing the shady slaughter of dolphins by fisherman in the Japanese fishing town of Taiji. Hit the jump to explore the deep blue.
