Something very strange happens when you talk about Global Warming: science goes out the window and "belief" and "consensus" becomes the topic of discussion. It's because of that fact that I give a failing mark to Al Gore's documentary. Instead of... Full review

Before seeing this movie I thought that it might sway the debate on global warming. I assumed that the entire movie was going to be about global warming, and if it had been it would have been much more effective.... Full review

Is Al Gore is doing a Chicken Little act in "An Inconvenient Truth"? I wish he were. This stunning documentary about global warming is a well-reasoned, clearly-proved, intelligent, cogent, irresistible torrent of scientific data, in a curiously warm, engaging, often... Full review

of this year, there was nothing really planned, resulting in some great moments (although perhaps too few for some music lovers) in the documentary It Might Get Loud, by Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth).
I just enjoyed seeing Jimmy Page play up close, it was the kind of thing that made me want to play music in the first place.

The film emerges, more skillfully than "Flock of Dodos," as an exceedingly clever vehicle for making science engaging to a general audience, and also presents climate-change science in a more complex light than the overtly partisan "An Inconvenient Truth. ... Full Review
