Living with Wolves/Wolves at Our Door (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've always loved animals. As a "dog person", wolves have always been close to my heart. I've admired their intelligence, free spirit, family bonds and the fact that they mate for life. I've read books about them and watched many documentaries. This film has truly touched my soul. It is an intimate portrait and allows you to peek into their daily life and witness the true nature of this amazing animal. The second video (Wolves at our door) in this DVD set is basically a form of cliff notes, but I didn't mind watching both over and over again ;)
I wholeheartedly recommend this DVD. It is the most beautiful documentary I've seen thus far. It will steal your heart :)

Saving a Species: Gorillas on the Brink (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Thought I tend to watch documentaries more then anything else (at least in preference), I'll admit to staying on this film as opposed to skipping past it because of Portman. She strikes me as genuine.
The film does what is supposed to. It shows that these animals seem to have qualities that mimic our own. It shows they are suffering like many of our own. It shows that it doesn't take many people to really make a difference in the world.
These gorilla's are in essence becoming Refugees.
4 stars for the film + 1 star for the host

The recent mysterious killings of four critically endangered gorillas in the Virunga National Park, bordering Rwanda and Congo, sent shockwaves through the international conservationist community. In a twist of fate, Animal Planet recently filmed a television special documenting gorillas from this region and their desperate struggle to survive. Golden Globe winner and Oscar®-nominated actress Natalie Portman (Closer, Garden State, the Star Wars trilogy) partnered with Animal Planet to appear in this new special as part of her recent travels to Rwanda. There, she witnessed firsthand the plight of the diminishing number of gorillas in the region shortly before the recent accounts. Welcomed by the Rwandan government, Portman and animal icon Jack Hanna spotlight the gorillas - who so closely resemble humans - in an international effort to bring attention to their dire crisis. GORILLAS ON THE BRINK, slated to air this fall as part of Animal Planet's Emmy® Award-winning series SAVING A SPECIES, is an intimate journey through the mysterious lives of these endangered primates.
