Re: Blu-ray Documentary & Special Interest Release Thread
saw Wild Ocean this morning, and although a more appropriate title would have been 'Sardines - The IMAX Experience' is was still a fascinating documentary film of the sealife and specifically the sardine population that feeds not only the multitude of sealife but the human population in South Africa. In 3D the cinematography is utterly amazing as the camera is literally in the middle of a couple intense feeding frenzys - so much is happening and assaulting your face and eyes, the effect is both staggering and visually captivating.

Objectified - 10/13

Director: Gary Hustwit (01:30)
The new design documentary from the director of Helvetica.
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?

Plenty of excitement -and controversy- is sure to surround this film from decorated documentarian Michael Moore. After previously taking on America’s gun culture (Bowling for Columbine), the Bush administration (Fahrenheit 9/11), and America’s healthcare crisis (Sicko), this timely film addresses what caused the financial crisis that stopped the world in 2008. Capitalism: A Love Story finds Moore criticizing the government bailout of privately held businesses.
