Knowing (2009)
I watched it three times in three weeks
Yes, there are holes in the plot but not enough to ruin the movie. The music and lighting and characters were very well done. I really enjoyed the drama and plot twists. I also really agree that this movie will make you think. There are strong religious themes but this movie is not offensive to anyone in any way that I can detect. You will watch it twice to try and piece together everything that is going on. Many of the holes in the plot disappear on the second viewing.
It's a good movie to watch late at night in bed. It is not really kid friendly but very enjoyable for adults who like movies with deep themes and some action. I thought it was better than 2012 and as good as Avatar. I'd say it was better science fiction than both.
Coral Sea Dreaming (1999)
pure natural beauty from the great barrier reef
This is purely a nature scenes video with soft music in the background. It's probably the best movie I own. It's very soothing and has clear and bright natural scenes of many exotic fish. I put this on the in background or when my kids are playing. I would say this is not exciting enough for non-fish lovers to watch straight through but it is excellent for a background or a mood video. If you put sub-titles on the names of the fish are displayed. To me it's like snorkeling a reef without getting wet. I highly recommend it for the money. It does not contain any narration or educational material which I prefer. The photography quality is what really sets this apart. As a bonus there are scenes of playing dolphins in the extras section.
Barbie as the Island Princess (2007)
Good family movie
This movie has marginally above average animation but really excels in the music and positive messages for young girls. My dad didn't want my daughters to watch Barbie movies because of the bimbo image of Barbie but the Barbie movies contain positive role models. The scenery and voices are a nice addition to the overall movie and my daughters really enjoy the characters. Songs are well sung and catchy for the kids and generously added through the movie. The plots in all these movies are basically the same which actually seems to help my girls follow what's going on. The girl seems to always become a princess and marry a prince but very positive messages about fairness and kindness are ingrained with being royalty so I'm happy to let me daughters watch these movie.
