Review: ...an expertly assembled docu with an underlying message about multiple species threatened by man's pigheaded behavior (Variety, 07/12/2007)

DVD Description

This heartbreaking documentary puts a face on the sad statistics of global warming--and though it's not a human face, it's the perhaps even more effective face of an adorable polar bear cub, Nanu, along with her mother, her brother, and her natural enemy, the equally heart-melting Seela the walrus. With breathtaking footage of life on the arctic tundra, the directors spin a highly emotional tale of the melting ice caps and the effect of their disappearance on every species in the ecosystem.


Since the film is essentially aimed at children, the cuteness factor is off the charts, aided by the slightly grating use of sound effects, a slangy voiceover by Queen Latifah, and a kid-friendly pop/folk soundtrack. And, as in a National Geographic special, viewers learn some interesting and neutral facts about polar bears, walruses, narwhals, foxes, and other northern creatures. The narrative, however, returns repeatedly to the grim conditions that are killing off our planet's wildlife, one family at a time. The directors take pains to create a hopeful ending, with a sweet pair of life-goes-on epilogues and a closing credit sequence featuring conservation tips, but the message of the film is sobering and hits its mark with kids and adults alike.

No-one Knows Of Milburn, But They Should
Review of Milburn - Cheshire Cat Smile DVD by Joe11Joe11

Advantages: Milburn - The Best, Unknown Band Out There
Disadvantages: Nothing, None, Zero, Zilch.

...Milburn are a band from Sheffield who very much associated with Arctic Monkeys. Milburn's drummer actually taught Arctic Monkey's drummer to drum and if it wern't for better advertising on the Monkey's part, Milburn would certainly be more famous than them right now as they are, definetly, a better band. Milburn have accompanied Arctic Monkeys several times at their gigs when really it should be the Monkey's supporting Milburn. But oh well, they are an unknown quantity to many but here, in Leighton Buzzard, an average sized town in South East England, they are well known, mainly due to me and my friends spreading the love. A big group of us of about 15-20 went to see a Milburn gig in February of this year and they are brilliant live i must say. Anyway, 'Cheshire Cat Smile' is Milburn's 2nd single they have released after 'Send... Read review

The Mighty Boosh Live
Review of The Mighty Boosh Live DVD by antm52

Advantages: Very funny, well planned and rehearsed, and brilliantly acted.
Disadvantages: None to mention

...Having gone to the live recording, I know that the show focuses on The Egg of Cacundu, which is a twist on the shows original Tundra episode from Series One. It sees Howard Moon and Vince Noir on a journey to retrive the egg from the Arctic Tundra... or Spain, the show featured many great characters from Series One and Two, such as The Hitcher, Old Gregg and The Moon, as well as Bob Fossil staring throughout alongside Naboo and Bollo. Also, a supprise guest appearence from Matt Berry as Dixon Bainbridge during the encore. Packed with songs from the series' throughout the show, as well as first class humour, this is definately worth watching, and I would recommend the DVD to every fan, and even non-fans. I give this show an overall rating of 10/10.... Read review
