Cave of Forgotten Dreams


The verdict: Werner Herzog's 3D documentary of the discover of Cave Chauvet in the Southern France where the oldest known pictorial creations of humankind were found. Quite fascinating!

Killing time in the air

Hereafter (USA - 2011) & Another Year (UK - 2010)
Two movies of lives in the slow lane, Eastwood's unfortunate timing paranormal 'Hereafter' & Leigh's uber-normal 'Another Year' - both ensemble drama with interwoven storyline. Hereafter is just weak, wet & wobbly throughout its painfully dull & predictable 129 min with the only message one gets from watching this film is "how many films can Matt Damon be in all at once?!".  Another Year is poignant & it defines "a simple life of an ordinary Londoner" much better than I do!
