Movie Review: We literally create our own possibilities
Summary: 5 Stars

Have you ever had a movie recommended and watched it just to see what all the fuss was about? That's how I came to watch "What The Bleep Do We Know." If you are interested in the power of the human mind and how it affects self-development, it's my turn to recommend this DVD to you.

First let me say I know nothing about quantum physics. What The Bleep Do We Know isn't a DVD for scientists; it's for everyday people who want to understand how the human mind works to help create our day-to-day lives. Think of What The Bleep as The Secret under a fascinating scientific microscope.

My husband and I watched this DVD for the third time last night and we were both taking notes. I have five pages of notes and "aha's." If you're ready to change negativity into possibility thinking, I suggest it's time to watch What The Bleep Do We Know.

Marlee Matlin plays the main character Amanda who is negative, angry and stressed. In Amanda's life, the glass is always half empty. Through a series of eye-opening "coincidences" she begins to see how her life can be more content, fulfilled and satisfying.

This DVD is a wonderful lesson about quantum physics and the human mind disguised as a well-made Hollywood movie. Every assertion made in What The Bleep Do We Know is backed up by scientific fact and explained in very colorful and interesting detail.

If you're ready to understand the scientific "secret" of your mind and how it literally creates the world around you, I highly recommend What The Bleep Do We Know. I believe though, you have to be in the right place at the right time in your life to truly appreciate the power of this message.

The biggest lesson I learned: We literally create our own possibilities.

Movie Review: Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars

Recently, on a visit from my mother-in-law, I was surprised that she wanted to take me and my wife to see a documentary film about `quantum physics'. The surprise came from the fact that she is far more wont to New Agey beliefs than either of us. The film was called What the #$*! Do We Know? After seeing it I understand why my mother-in-law was interested in this `physics film'- because it's not about physics. Instead, it's a propaganda film put out by a cult headed by a bovine blond woman named JZ Knight, who's claimed for decades that she channels the spirit of a 35,000 year old warrior from Atlantis named Ramtha. Yet, it's not even a clever little film as propaganda, because it's so poorly edited, atrociously acted, and inanely backdropped against a dozen or so talking heads of the sort that usually delineate documentaries. Except, there's a difference. These talking heads go uncredited until the end of the film because they are all charlatans and quacks. The film also had three directors- William Arntz, Betsy Chasse, and Mark Vicente- who just happen to be Ramtha cultists. Worse, the film's a mess- all that spiritualism and not a dram of creativity? This is not like New York Stories where three great directors- Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese- did three small films that were independent. This film is tripartite, but interspersed like water, oil, and- oh- New Age bilge. It's part faux documentary, part lame Junior High/Industrial film, part psychedelic cartoon. Tag team directing, yet no one in charge.
This film is a combination of bad art, and emotional and intellectual dishonesty- the very reason they do not give the names and backgrounds of the `experts' until the end. The problem is not that the film has no answers to the questions it posits, but the questions, themselves, are asked with annoying smirks by condescending fakers who seem contented with their own superiority, and ignorance. Here's hoping rationality still has a place in President Bush's world (grimace).

Movie Review: What a Review on What the Bleep and the Rabbit Hole
Summary: 4 Stars

Interesting concepts on taking responsibility and our place in the scheme of things. However, there is a lot of repeat material and two DVDs would have done the job.

Movie Review: Well, not that
Summary: 2 Stars

This movie presents an odd mix - a positive personal outlook with scientific substrate. The writers draw on brain imagining, neurochemistry, and quantum physics. Using those bases, they describe how the intention to feel a certain way or to have specific events occur comes from a personal choice. That in turn changes the body, the physical substance of the mind, to reinforce those feelings. It's a positive and empowering message.

The problem is, they distort or simply invent the science to support their message. Yes, in a common interpretation, the quantum wave function collapses when the observer measures the phenomenon (creating profound philosophical quandaries). That does not imply that happy thoughts affect the outcome of that collapse. There's some unsound biology, as well, too much to go into.

On the whole, this comes across as a gram of genuine fact diluted in liters of wishful thinking.
