Belated Reviews: The Cove, Surveillance and The Loss of the Teardrop Diamond

Film:  The Cove Review:  This was very interesting. It's a documentary about a former dolphin trainer (Richard O'Barry) who saw the error of his ways and has spent his life freeing dolphins that are captured for one reason or another.  It has brought some much needed buzz to the plight of dolphins in Japan. The film shows him in Japan with a team of activists who are exposing the slaughter of 23,000 dolphins a year. Interesting stuff. Bye the way, he used to be the dolphin trainer on the TV series Flipper. -------------------------------------------------- Film:  Surveillance Review:  It's an interesting film, but it's not my cup of tea. If you like David Lynch movies, or you like suspense of any kind, then you might enjoy this. I personally like suspense, but this film was disturbing. The script was written by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer. She seems to have her dad's penchant for morbid subject matter. --------------------------------...
