The Cove – Must see movie!

Posted by jman on Friday, 28 August, 2009

I saw the The Cove at Christchurch’s Regent on Worcestor.The Cove Movie

It had been recommend by a friend and the do a few movie reviews for a well known US website. They said if you get a chance to see this movie you should, out of all the movies he had reviewed this year, he said this was the best.

Hmmm….. I thought to myself, WOW!  Coming from a professional movie reviewer.  I better take the time to see this movie.

A little about The Cove from Corny reviews website ……

The film is directed by photographer Louis Psihoyos, a magazine photographer and documentarian whose head was turned around when he met dolphin activist Ric O’Barry. Once one of the leading dolphin trainers in the world — his final job being TV’s “Flipper” — O’Barry flipped to the other side when he realized how miserable (he would say suicidal) the captive dolphins were. He became a vigilante about freeing dolphins that were part of marine-park dolphin shows (hello, Seaworld?) and swim-with-the-dolphins parks. O’Barry, in turn, told Psihoyos about Taiji, Japan, which is secretly the world’s largest unofficial abattoir — slaughterhouse, in other words — for dolphins. Though the Japanese government protects the locals who undertake this barbaric practice, O’Barry knew that this one place accounted for the senseless killing of tens of thousands of dolphins each year.

This movie seriously is a MUST see. I wanted to do an in depth review of this movie but instead I suggest you check The Cove Movie review at Corny reviews. Very in depth review, a great read too. You can see the movie trailer on The Cove movie website.

Once you have seen the movie then you should head go to Takepart and do you bit!

30 days of Bikram – DONE

Posted by jman on Thursday, 30 July, 2009

Today was my last day for the 30 days of Bikram Yoga.

I had to do two classes in a row (or back to back) today.  As I was away in Auckland earlier in the month I had to make up the day’s away by doing Two Classes in a single day.

Phew what a challenge it was.

If you want to expand your mind and empower your body. Give it a go!

Go do it or at least checkout the timetable

TV One Ice Dome – ice skating in Cathedral Square

Posted by jman on Tuesday, 28 July, 2009

If you happen to be in the Cathedral Square check out the Ice Dome which is a special Dome put in the Square as part of the CAF (Christchurch Arts Festival).

I put the skates on tonight at the 7.30 session.  The skates are a little uncomfortable but the visual light show which appears on the dome as you skate around in a circle more than makes up for the sore feet in the skates.  The She Hot Chocolate was pretty good too.  :)
