Together with his intrepid film crew, documentary filmmaker Drew Wharton often found himself within feet of enormous bellowing 4,500 pound alpha males clashing mightily over females in estrus. It is A Sealâs Life, after all. The film (which debuted at the Monterey Bay Aquarium) tells the story of the worldâs largest seal speciesâthe northern Elephant Sealâbehemoths that come ashore once a year to give birth, molt, and mate. âApple technology saves me a ton of time and money,â notes Wharton, who edited the film in Final Cut Studio. âOur whole workflow is based on Macs, from field acquisition to post production. A Sealâs Life was made on a Mac from start to finishâfor me, it didnât make sense to do it any other way.â

To see a Wes Anderson film is to plunge into a world that is always just a bit off-center, equally bizarre and creative. Bill Murray in &#39;The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou&#39;His most popular works, &quot;Rushmore

Again fearlessly  navigating those perilous waters known as family dynamics,  filmmaker Noah Baumbach has followed up his acclaimed 2005  drama &quot;The Squid and the Whale&quot; with another wryly observed,  giddily cringe-inducing, bracingly original winner.

Geleya may well appeal to the young and the mass audience. In a nutshell the film is high on technical aspects, but low on content -- a clichÃ©d fare with some entertaining moments.

Joe Camp likely had good intentions when he decided to bring Benji, the lovable movie mutt he introduced in 1974, back from the dead. An obvious animal lover, the filmmaker says he wanted to create family-friendly entertainment and, at ...

Okay, a few days ago I wrote a review of the Diving Bell and the Butterfly saying it could be the best picture of 2007, but even so you might want to skip it because the truth it reveals might be something you don't want to look at. It's a fine picture, but a tough one. Another wonderful but tough picture is No Country for Old Men. It's one of those movies that leaves so much unresolved that you walk out of the theater not sure which foot goes in front of the other. On a second viewing it makes much more sense. The world isn't necessarily as crazy as it at first seemed. But there's a movie that is also incredibly well crafted, and gets better every time you think about it -- Juno. I didn't realize how much I liked it until I heard someone compare it to Little Miss Sunshine, a movie that I did not enjoy, unlike everyone else it seems. I loved Juno because it organizes its sweetness into love for one person, the star of the movie, Juno. But everyone, no matter how dorky or clueless (and some of the adults are truly dorky and clueless) shares the love. The movie has a wholeness, an unqualified goodness, you not only walk out of the theater in love with Juno and everyone else in the movie, but your heart is warmed for everyone, including yourself. It's that good.  All three remind how good movies can be. And there were some not-too-bad movies at the end of 2007, for example, Atonement, which some didn't like, but I did. 3:10 to Yuma is a well-crafted genre picture. Michael Clayton was a perfect showcase for the talents of George Clooney. Great acting and a simple story in The Savages.  Which one was the best? I'd hate to have to choose!

She's as much an emblem, and a tourist draw, as tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread. And now Nessie's back. An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake.

"The Guardian" is an action movie, a basic training movie, a swaggering sea adventure, a home front melodrama and an inspiring tough-love heroic teacher fable.

If you've heard anything about veteran animator Henry Selick recently, it's probably in relation to his delightful stop-motion sea creatures in Wes Anderson's "The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou," which opened in New York and Los Angeles last weekend.

The hagfish is a bottom feeder so repulsive it had a cameo on TV's "Fear Factor." It slimes its enemies, has rows of teeth on its tongue, and feeds on the innards of rotting fish by penetrating any orifice.
