Oceans / Babies



I know it's been a while, but the truth is that no good movies have come out in a long time.  Also their will be plenty of reviews coming this summer, and the surge of summer movies begins.  I am sure most of my fans...if I have any are wondering why I am not doing a review on Iron Man.  Well to answer that question, Iron Man is such a huge movie like Transformers that no matter how I review it, you the American Consumer are going to see it anyways.  I am going to simultaneously review two brand new documentaries [my second favorite genre of movies] that I thought were very fascinating.


Dear Educational Documentaries,


Thank you so much for being unique, and unlike most other movies.  You have managed to form your own style of documentary, and for that I am grateful.  I feel as though I know so much more about the ocean, and about infants.  You are much more educational than anything I could have learned in child development classes, history classes, and oceanology classes.  I am bummed that during my small stint at the worlds greatest community college...Cabrillo, you did not educate us with these fascinating documentaries.  


Sincerely,
Corny Reviews


Most of you have never heard of either of these documentaries.  Ocean and Babies are about exactly what you think they are about the ocean, and babies.  Ocean discovers new worlds under the sea, and gives the world a remarkable inside look at what goes on beneath the amazing wonder that is the ocean.  Babies is a "movie" I guess about 4 babies that are documented for 1 year in 4 different places in the world.  We see how different cultures raise their babies, and although it might make USA mothers go crazy, it truly is incredible to see the way babies are raised in various different part of the world.  Each documentary is unique in their own way.  Pierce Brosnan narrates Oceans, and does a decent job with it.  Babies on the other hand has no narration, which at first is odd, but what babies is trying to do is truly capture the essence of the 1st year of having a child.  The thing I appreciate about both is the cinematography.  Holy Smokes!  The cameras, the lighting, the angles are incredible.  I wish movie directors, and cinematographers would take some pointers from this film.  They seem to capture the oceans not necessarily by the animals themselves, but by the way they are filmed.  The same goes for babies.  Yes, babies are cute, but the angles, and lighting at which they are shot is brilliant.  If you at all enjoy film, and want to see 2 well done documentaries see these movies.  I don't recommend parents taking their kids to either of these movies because truthfully they are boring.  Its like that history class you had in high school.  The teacher was boring, but the content was incredible.  See these movies if you have the chance, I give them each a...
