Hello
world of internet blog readers and potential movie goers! I am the one and only, TheCinemaChick and I
let you know what’s good out there.
Well, I’m behind one review, but when opportunity knocks, you take
it. So today, let’s talk about life and
love and birth. Now, imagine someone
much cooler than me talking about it.
Picture Daniel Craig talking to you about all that. Now, you’re probably going, “CinemaChick,
where can I see such an awesome thing?”
You are
in luck because such a thing exists.
There is a BBC wildlife documentary called “One Life” that is a very
limited showing. For some of you, this
may be a bit short notice, but if you have the chance to see it, go see
it! If you don’t know what “One Life”
is, don’t worry. I’ll fill you in on the
details, so lets get started.
Put
simply, it is a story about the journeys we all face in life. And by we, I don’t just mean you and me. If you think about it, don’t humans and
animals all have some of the same goals?
We are born and learn how to survive from day one. We have a nurturing parent (in most cases) and
as soon as we can manage ourselves on two feet, life becomes nonstop. Eventually, it becomes a life long struggle
to find yourself, to explore the world and even to find love. Both humans and animal live to fulfill
specific needs. We’re not so different
after all. That’s what “One Life” is
about.
Narrated by Daniel Craig, the
documentary shows the struggles and triumphs of all living things, whether they
have four legs, two legs, fins, wings or flippers. It goes to show that we
really are connected in the wondrous circle of life. And if you don’t believe me, definitely check
out “One Life”. It’s got some awesome
footage in there. In fact, there was
over 10,000 hours of footage taken for
this. So there is a lot you will
see. Think about it, they pulled out the
best just for this showing. There’s no
way you can say no now.
Of course, let’s ask the obvious
question, the one I have been avoiding since we began this lovely little
blog. Go ahead and ask it.
“CinemaChick, where can I see such
a beautiful masterpiece?”
Well, I am thrilled that you
asked. “One Life” is showing at Harkins
Theaters. Now, I go to the one in
Southlake. It happens to be the closest
one to me. I’ll admit, I absolutely love going
there. Also, this is seriously just my
opinion. I’ve mentioned before that I
have mobility issues due to a complication from spinal surgery. The managers have actually approached me and
asked if they can do anything to help me.
During the Marvel marathon, they made sure no one pushed me over. I have been to many theaters in my area and I
can say in all honesty, Harkins really cares about their customers. They listen to all suggestions (or at least
mine) and improve their theater. I have
never experienced a sticky floor, never seen a dirty bathroom and the popcorn
is seriously always fresh.
Now, Harkins is showing this film
on February 21. 2013, which is this Thursday, but there is another showing on
Sunday, the 24th. It’s also
not rated, which means you can take the little ones to see this film. There may be some scenes that scare
them. Like I said, it’s a lovely little
nonfiction piece that celebrates life and all its adventures. It’s an in depth look at the diversity and
tenacity of the heart.
If you can’t come to Harkins
Southlake with me, don’t worry. Check
your local Harkins Theater to see if it is playing, which it should be. Both showings will be at 7:00 PM. I know it’s short notice, but trust me, it’ll
be worth it. Think of it as a great
educational movie for the little ones. It’s
a great chance for them to see a documentary.
Mothers, there’s also stories about protecting and nurturing their
offspring. No one can say no to adorable
baby animals!
If you don’t believe me, read my
review on Friday. I’m going on Thursday,
so I will tell you what I think on Friday.
My opinion won’t change. I will
still see it as a fascinating look into the natural world. The way I see it, no matter what, there is
always something to learn. I’m 28 and I
still have tons to figure out. I know
Thursday is a strange day to see a movie, since a lot of people have to go to
work and/or school in the morning. Well,
guess what? “One Life” is 85
minutes. You don’t have to worry about
being out til midnight and if you bring younger ones, they will still be able
to make bedtime.
I will leave you with the trailer
for “One Life”. I’ve watched it several
times and it just looks amazing. Enjoy
this glimpse into nature:
I'm TheCinemaChick and I believe I'll see you at the show.
