***Update: Rick O’Barry, star of The Cove gets them kicked off the stage at the Oscars trying to save the dolphins! Check out the full story now!***
That’s it! I’m putting my foot down! I am so sick of people saying “The Cove, oh no I can’t see that film, it’s about dolphin killing.” You stupid person, you’re wrong and I’m not listening to you anyone. I’m saying this as simply as possible. You are a bad person if you do not see this film. Everyone, EVERYONE needs to see The Cove. Not because you all need to go out and save Flipper but because it will inspire you to do something (not necessarily with dolphins) good in your life and leave you feeling empowered. You can make a difference in whatever way you want just like the people in this film are doing.
So stop your bitching and get out and see this movie. Check out the review below…

Adam Sandler is back to what he does best, making us laugh. In Judd Apatow‘s Funny People Sandler joins funny men Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill in a film about a seasoned comedian who finds out he doesn’t have much time to live. Hope the movie is as good as the hype has been.Another film definitely worth checking out this week is Chan-wook Park‘s Thirst. If you only see one vampire film this year, this should be it.
Here is a list of the movies opening July 31st:

A while ago I was lucky enough to sit down, one on one with Louie Psihoyos the director of the must see film, The Cove. I keep hearing people say to me, “I can’t handle a film about killing dolphins.” Well take it from a person who has saved many animals, big and small, and can’t stand gore; if you love animals you will love this film. If you loved Ocean’s 11, you will love this film. If you’re interested in seeing something that WILL affect you, you will love this film.
Thanks to Psihoyos, this film does not (I repeat DOES NOT) offend but encourages and dare I say inspires people who love animals and film. Mainly this is due to it’s focus, instead of making it about the killing, he focuses on how a group of people come together and risk their lives to try and to something good.
It’s an amazing film that I can’t say enough good things about. Check out the interview below…

As much as we all come to ShoWest for the sneak peeks on upcoming summer blockbusters, every once in a while there is a truly important film that hits and you have to say something about it. With a great story, amazing footage, and a great message, The Cove is definitely the must see film of the convention.
I know what you’re thinking, that this film is not as fun as some of the other films they have played or as “easy to watch” as The Proposal. I understand that feeling. In fact, after watching The Hurt Locker and Is Anybody There? I almost missed out on The Cove, because I didn’t want to see another heart-wrenching film, but luckily something in me made me go. I’m so glad I did, because this is an important, well-made film that made me feel invigorated and ready for action.
After watching the documentary I feel like the least, the VERY least I could do is try to spread the word about the film so that it can hopefully make an impact.
