Titanic: The Aftermath (2012)
This one sinks!
"A rehash of basic Titanic information, made worse by substandard CGI, slow-pacing, and reenactments featuring terrible acting and poor production values. Comments by so-called experts are presented as if they personally have inside information when, in fact, their insights have been well-documented. There is also a lot of filler showing modern skylines, and lengthy scenes showing how today's Coast Guard recovers bodies from the sea. Since there are no living survivors, this is full of interviews with descendants of victims, but their detached comments are not nearly enough to save this cheap effort. With all the Titanic documentaries available, especially those produced for the 100th anniversary of the disaster, this is one you can do without."
Sammy's avonturen: De geheime doorgang (2010)
Don't miss this one!
This is a wonderful film that all ages will enjoy. It is very educational, in covering the life of a turtle, and it is fascinating to watch Sammy and his friends grow up. The script is peppered with events in human history that the turtles can only ponder over, such as a space capsule returning to the ocean after the first lunar landing, and a messy oil spill. At its heart, "A Turtle's Tale" is a love story, with wonderful moments of poignancy. The animation and depiction of sea creatures are beautiful, and the film overall has dazzling colours. The voice talents are all great, and it is clear a lot of care was put into casting each role. The soundtrack, comprised of contemporary pop tunes, is also very entertaining. This is a film that will stick in your memory until it demands a subsequent viewing.
