Award-winning film makers Joshua and Jonathan Steckley provide a candid look into one of the world's little-known, competitive sports. Against all odds, competitors from all over the globe gather for the annual World Crokinole Championship in Tavistock, Ontario. This film takes an inner look into the sport of Crokinole through the lives of four competitors. Viewers see its history and amazing popularity, and experience the stress of not only the competitors but the organizers -- organizers who wonder not only if the tournament will be a success, but if the competition will go on at all.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes on the heels of its billion-dollar grossing predecessor, and seeks to do absolutely nothing other than repeat its success. In this, the film is eminently effective. If you have seen the previous film, you can expect something extremely similar in this package. That is, a barrage of references to Nintendo intellectual property wrapped in a plot that provides the thinnest layer of emotional payoff for the characters.
The film didn’t have to be as long as it is. It just dragged on and on with scenes that had no substance. Every so often we get an action scene, and even those isn’t that fun.
A man invents the internet with the help of an otherworldly force. But he soon learns that not all is what it seems. A delightful sequence of images for a delightful fictional story about what lies behind.
If Miguel Alexandre were trying to make a revenge story seem dull without using all the effective formulas that work great in this catchy genre, he could not have accomplished his purpose much better than he unintentionally has in Black Island.
