An open critique of ExxonMobil and the oil industry as a whole, the documentary Out of Balance investigates how the use of fossil fuels continues to send the planet's temperature further and further out of balance, while oil companies like ExxonMobil continue to exert disproportionate influence in all areas of industry, the media, and governments all over the world. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

"Out of Balance is a documentary of the worst type: pick an easy target, show what they do is wrong and claim a moral victory.

Sun dogs are "an atmospheric optical phenomenon primarily associated with the reflection or refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds." Also, a little love for the Arizona Sundogs in the Central Hockey League and for a few favorite dog movies: snow dogs, rain dogs, desert dogs, moon dogs, straw dogs, stray dogs, " [More]
