The Pluto Files: Nova

The Pluto Files is a 2010 documentary produced by PBS as part of their Nova series.

Plot: This documentary explores the history of Pluto, both its discovery and the recent scientific turn of events that led to its status of a planet being removed.

My take: I love the Nova series.  Presented in a whimsical but informative way, this particular documentary does a good job of presenting the reasons for why Pluto was named a planet in the first place and how modern science has determined it isn't.  Great watch for anyone interested in astronomy.

Peaceful Warrior

Peaceful Warrior is a 2006 independent drama based on the book of the same name.  It stars Nick Nolte and Scott Mechlowicz. Plot:  A cocky, brash young man at the height of his gymnastic career in college has his life fall apart when an injury seems to end his Olympic aspirations.  However, just when things are darkest, a teacher comes into his life that helps him to recover physically and spiritually. My Take: I'm always happy to review sports movies! This movie explores spiritual enlightenment (not the religious kind) and its effect on the athlete.  It's a little weird at times, and doesn't flow as well as I thought it should.  Ultimately the movie does come together nicely and it's well worth a watch on a weekend afternoon.

Lewis And Clark Documentary - A Ken Burns film

Image
Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery is a 1997 history documentary about the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1804-1806. Plot : The documentary itself uses letters and stories written by and for the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to describe their journey of discovery through the unknown American wilderness. Sent by President Jefferson to map the territory and assess the Native American tribes, Lewis and Clark's trip was filled both with danger and immense discoveries. My take: This is a fascinating look at a time in American History that everyone knows far too little about. Americans had no idea of the bounty of North America at this time. What they knew extended mostly to the Appalachians. Settlers had just begun to move west into Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. I was fascinated by the way they used rivers to move west (although it makes perfect sense as being the easiest way to travel), but what really intrigued me was the descrip...

Saint Ralph

Saint Ralph is a 2004 independent drama starring Adam Butcher and Campbell Scott. Plot: Ralph is an unusually self-sufficient young man dealing with both the rigidity of life in a Catholic school in 1954, as well as his mother's illness.  When his mother falls into a coma, Ralph makes a deal with God: if Ralph can win the Boston Marathon, God will wake up his mom.  Can he really do it? My take: If EVER there was a film more inappropriately described on Netflix, Saint Ralph is it.  It continually came up on my recommendations for months before I finally broke down and watched it.  First of all, it's a comedy.  Secondly, it sounds like a totally crazy idea...winning the Boston Marathon.  The way the movie builds it up, it's not. This movie was a total surprise to me, and well worth a high recommendation.  I just wish Netflix would rewrite the description of the movie to more accurately reflect its spirit and content.
