Movie Reviews of Hooked on Hummingbirds

Movie Review: Written by a man who truly is "Hooked on Hummingbirds"!
Summary: 5 Stars

Thomas Kaminski is a fastidious, precise, nit-picking perfectionist, who also happens to be an artist. That should give you a tip-off as to what to expect from this new DVD.

Kaminski clearly has been deeply moved by hummingbirds. Close-up footage in slow motion, stop motion, and real time is used to show how hummers fly, feed, fight, and nest. Seeing normally imperceptable flight acrobatics, for example, is more than just amazing: it lets you understand what books can only talk about. Watching a mother hummer weave spider's silk to attach her nest to the tree branch, too, is a sight most people will never see--but here they can, up close and personal.

Not just a technician, Kaminski is also an artist, composing much of the music for the DVD and either synchronizing it to the motions or creating a mood in harmony with the scene.

Then there is the sheer mass of facts, all carefully researched, and fed to the viewer at a rapid clip--but no so fast that you can't take them in.

I think everyone will enjoy this video--beginners, experienced hummer-watchers, and even those that don't know yet that they, too, can be "hooked on hummingbirds".

Here at the office of the Hummingbird Society we've amassed quite a collection of videos about hummingbirds. This DVD now proudly occupies a position in the top tier.

You'll be treated to the amazing sights of hummers building their nests, feeding their chicks and defending their territories in ways the naked eye can't see. Shot in the U.S. and Costa Rica, this award-winning program also unveils the secrets of hummingbird aerobatics - including upside-down flight - as well as their roles as closet carnivores, nectar robbers, and housekeeping fuss-budgets. 53 minutes - color DVD. 1.50 inches tall x 6.25 inches long x 8.50 inches wide
