The Traverse City Film Festival founded by film maker Michael Moore, features independent, foreign, and documentary films ended today. I did manage to see 2 films with my husband. One was, The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de sus Ojos). This was the winner of the 2010 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. Haunted by the memory of a brutal murder case for over 25 years, retired court investigator Benjamin Espósito decides to write a novel about the horrific crime. The second movie was a midnight showing, Tucker & Dale vs Evil. This was about a couple of country hicks on vacation in the woods, looking to get some R & R in their ramshackle cabin. Along comes a gang of preppy college kids, also on holiday, who mistake the harmless hicks for homicidal hillbillies after a member of their group goes missing. Comedy ensues as a horrified Tucker and Dale attempt to avoid the bloodshed while their accusers die off one by one in a series of freak accidents. Great movie. Here is a link to the trailer.

I watched "The Devil's Backbone" last night. It was about a 12 year old boy named Carlos, who gets dropped off at a place that shelters orphans during the Spanish Civil War. Carlos comes in contact with a ghost boy who was murdered there. He helps the ghost boy to redeem himself. This was a good thiller by Guillermo Del Toro. I really enjoyed it. It had a good story line.

Journey to the Edge of the Universe

National Geographic presents the first accurate non-stop voyage from Earth to the edge of the Universe using a single, unbroken shot through the use of spectacular CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) technology.

Building on images taken from the Hubble telescope, Journey to the Edge of the Universe explores the science and history behind the distant celestial bodies in the solar system.

This spectacular, epic voyage across the cosmos, takes us from the Earth, past the Moon and our neighboring planets, out of our Solar System, to the nearest stars, nebulae and galaxies and beyond – right to the edge of the Universe itself.

When you finish this video, you will walk away from it with an awareness that you never had before, of the unseen astronomically massive universe that we float around on like a spec of dust in the ocean.

This video takes you on a journey through the universe as if you are watching a Sci Fi adventure. Yet you constantly have to remind yourself that what you’re seeing is really out there.

Growing Up in the Universe

Growing Up in the Universe was a series of lectures given by Richard Dawkins as part of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, in which he discussed the evolution of life in the universe. The lectures were first broadcast in 1991, in the form of five one-hour episodes. To start off part one, Dawkins discusses the amazing capabilities of the human body and
contrasts these with the limited capabilities of computers and other man-made machines. He uses a small totem pole (which is used in ancestor worship) to illustrate the importance of studying our ancestors to understand how we’ve evolved.

Dawkins’ second lecture of the series examines the problem of design. He presents the audience with a number of simple objects, such as rocks and crystals, and notes that these objects have been formed by simple laws of physics and are therefore not designed.

Dawkins starts the third lecture coming in with a stick insect on his hand. He describes with how much details such a being imitates its environment, its almost like a key that fits a lock. He then shows another insect, namely a Leaf Insect, which basically looks exactly like a dead leaf.

Dawkins begins the fourth lecture by relating the story of asking a little girl “what she thought flowers were ‘for’.” Her response is anthropocentric, that flowers are there for our benefit. Dawkins points out that many people throughout history have thought that the natural world existed for our benefit, with examples from Genesis and other literature.
