Project Nim | DVD Review

"James Marsh once again uses his story telling brilliance to construct an emotional portrait of a chimp that informs us more about ourselves as humans than its subject.

Review: Chasing Ice

"Featuring never before captured time lapse photography as the film's center piece, this documentary should make for a revelatory experience for climate change naysayers. The evidence is quite conclusive. Complimenting this horrifying melt footage is an assemblage of Balog's incredible still snapshots. Among the arctic alien landscapes, Balog finds unyielding beauty in the massive icebergs, and he aspires to share their allure with the world with a unique eye."

Review: Detropia
