Let's Go Out To The Movies: Disneynature Bears

Alo Party Peoples.



There's been a change in schedule. Originally I was going to review Transcendence this week, a movie about a mad transcendent (read: more intelligent than a human) AI played by Johnny Depp taking over the world. As ridiculously appealing as that sounds, I had to skip it, I'll try to work it back into the schedule some time. Instead we're talking about a nature documentary, because my entire family really wanted to see it. I'm all for documentaries, for example the new Cosmos hosted by Neil DeGrasse Tyson is something you should be putting in front of your eyes, and in a country where 25% of our population are geocentrists, we probably need more of them.

How is this one about a group of grizzly bears in Alaska? It's pretty good. The cinematography is gorgeous, the animals never seem to notice the cameramen, and the narration by John C Riley gets a laugh every now and then. That's all that really needs to be said, if your'e in the mood for footage of bears played with acoustic guitars and riffed by a man with such gems as "What do you do if your claw gets stuck in the clam?" then have at it. It seems that Transcendence has been getting a real beating by the critics.

I know this is short, but there isn't that much to say, and sometimes short is sweet.

Have a nice day.
