Body: Normally the mention of Africa in conversation invokes many different visuals. All the childhood dreams of actually going to Africa to see the amazing people and beautiful wildlife have now been overshadowed by the current affairs of the continent. A continent that continues to suffer from decades of exploitation by the wealthy. Where humans have been sacrificed for the pursuit of profit and now ad campaigns selling products in order to help people be socially conscious. Stephanie Black a director of Life and Debt and H-2 Worker shares her vision of a continent that continues to take on an uphill battle to unify the nations of Africa in order to free Africans and provide them with a promising future. Stephanie follows the Marley family on their first trip to the capital of Ethiopia for the celebration of their father Bob Marley's 60th birthday and to perform in the concert Africa Unite. A concert providing inspiration to bring Africa together to fight against the struggles it faces and to remember a dream of Emperor Haile Salessie I. The film begins to tell a story of Bob Marley's dream through his family members and the songs they perform of his during the concert. A few interviews from the Wailers provides a great insight to Bob's vision and a journey with the family through the capital shares how much of an inspiration Bob was to his family and a generation of Rastafarian's. While on this journey the family is accompanied by an elderly Rastafarian who never dreamed of actually visiting Zion. Through his enthusiasm the story of being a Rasta is revealed through the history of Emperor Haile Salessie I who stood against the wealthiest nations to ensure his people would be free of colonialism. Unfortunately, at times the movie feel some of the more important messages of the story are over-shadowed by the fame of Bob Marley. The message of a generation who is inspired by new musicians such as Angelique Kidjo and the lyrics of the late Bob Marley. But, ultimately have to bring Unity to their people in order to solve Africa's problems. A story that speaks of these issues, but only touches the surface. Was this a tactic to draw a larger crowd by focusing on Bob Marley's birthday celebration? Maybe. However, the inspiring story of Emperor Haile Salessie I and the compelling speeches he delivered shed light on what it means to be a Rastafarian and a glimpse into what inspires a new generation of Africans. Even though the story only touches the surface of Africa's issues it does offer inspiration to a continent that continues to suffer under the wealthiest of nations and corporations. A youthful voice working to create a better future with inspiring words from A story of a fight towards unity, peace, freedom, and equality amongst the nations of the world. An inspiring concert and a generation who wishes to no longer ignore the injustices of the World Bank, corporations, and nations of wealth. A country that wishes to truly be free and to take responsibility for their own actions as a unified nation. A continent that inspired artists such as Bob Marley to raise their voice on issues ignored by most and end up in the back sections of newspapers around the world. All-in-all Stephanie Black tells an inspiring story of hope that spans for generations. A story that will eventually unfold with great triumph and move a continent from oppression to the forefront of global politics and equality. Africa Unite may over-shadow major issues with a celebrity icon, but shares a great vision that should be seen.

Body: Faith and life often lead us down paths we wished not to anticipate. But a long the way we find ourselves taking for granted the life we have been given. We all have purpose it's taking the time to understand our purpose and remove complaint. Subtle yet powerful this movie really shows the true beauty of humans. The complexity of emotions we experience. The fate we must face and the choices we are confronted with. The actresses/actors in this movie are beautifully developed. Very few words have to be shared in such a powerful movie and the director truly captured this spirit of human expression rather then over-acting.

Body: Can our paths in life be formed by our decisions or is everything set in place by the genes our families? Or do we create our children to be more like us by example? We all face difficulties in our lives. Often times children show more love then we can in our self-indulged lives. However, family is also a friendship that can become strong through weathered times and hold us together. At other times it helps us realize our own faults and where we must change. But with these four women life is a challenge. They are faced with real situations that test their strength and show the areas in our lives where we at times must act more human and less self-centered. To understand problems and pay attention to those in need. Especially in the case of men taking on responsibility in their roles as humans rather then contributing to a cycle of abuse.

Body: So I first found out about this movie through IMDB while it was in production and became excited to see something a little different from M. Night. However, after seeing the first trailer I immediately lost interest. But after a year I finally had enough courage to spend what little amount of money it costs to rent the film from your local video shop. Before watching the movie I prepared myself... for the worst.Now... I would not recommend this film to any of my friends. But I will be honest. The movie was captivating and very well written. The approach of cinema-photography and script was almost brilliant in the way it captured people as caricatures. Granted the effects at time were a little cheesy, but the story had a youthful spirit. But maybe this is what happens when we face a post-modern world that requires everything to be perfect and a true reflection of reality. Or... maybe my taste is declining. No matter I thought the movie was worth the money and would have taken the time to see it in the theaters.

Body: The upcoming generation of directors is definitely something to keep your eye out for. Taking a risk in letting actors/actresses take over their roles with improvised acting stands out in this movie. I was lucky enough to sit in on a discussion with the director to see his approach to making this film and really admired the approach of working together closely and developing relationships to deliver a wonderful movie. These characters did a wonderful job at carrying out the life of 20 year olds struggling with everyday issues of relationships.

Body: A beautiful movie that dives into the explorations of choreography and applying poetry to the the screen that often feels dead. A must see for cinephiles and poets. Without a doubt tone Maya was one of the most brilliant film-makers of our time and challenged the status quo of movie making.

Body: A movie that appears to be very harsh and crude at first as it dives into the lives of three young men trying to survive in the French projects. However, through time we begin to fully understand the hate that eventually feeds on less fortunate individuals when authority figures abuse the power they have been entrusted with. Maybe... something must first be questioned at the top before blaming those on the bottom. The movie is also beautifully shot in black and white which delivers a more deep relationship with the characters in general.

Body: Shadows dance across the screen with simple backdrops to keep the eye captivated. While stimulating the mind with a quirky, philosophical, sexual awakening, hypnotic journey through a young man's fascination with the Czech underground.Jiri Menzel directed a beautiful movie. The story is romantic, mysterious and intriguing with a dark satire taste. bk

Body: I have to admit most movies do not leave me that frightened. Although I will admit most movies I have seen in the theater have left me a little more on edge then watching the film at home. I believe my favorite film to date so far is The Shining. But more for the visuals and acting. The movie that scared me the most was Killer Klowns from Outerspace. But that could also be thanks to my age at the time. I was only about 8 when I was subjected to such horrific displays of death. For many years I could not face a freaking clown and to actually see bodies wrapped in cotten candy! hahaha...

Body: I have to admit that I am surprised myself to see someone list Event Horizon. It was a very well executed movie except for some of the occasional spells of some what questionable acting. Although I will admit the stupid movie left me awake a few nights in a row with the fear that I may end up trapped in my dreams of a painfully dark hell. 28 days I must admit was approached in an interesting manner. The fact that it felt some what real was intriguing. However I felt that a portion of the movie was over done. But I still enjoyed watching the flick!

Body: First off I am looking forward to checking out La jetée!Now back to our film at hand. 12 Monkeys is nothing astonishing, but some of the character development is interesting. The movie comes across as something intellectually challenging, but the ending does leave one questioning the point of producing such a movie. Now the question is would this movie actually improve with a more intriguing ending?Now I am curious to see if anyone felt Brad Pitt was over-acting in this movie. It has been awhile since I have watched this movie, but if I remember he delivered a fairly descent performance, no? Really the only element of the movie I remember well is Brad Pitt.
