A relatively unadvertised documentary that is “electrifying” and a must see story that will “shock” you (not because you did not already hear enough rumours to relegate the story to, at worst, mass paranoia and, at best, urban myth but) because you have never seen the facts through, any of the fair and balanced media outlets that we have come to rely on for the “reality” that surrounds us. Who new the cars actually existed, looked like any other car (and not the flimsy solar energy death traps we regularly see in most alternative energy news bites) and were sharing the streets (from 1998 to 2003) with your average gas guzzling variety (until they were repossessed at the end of their leases and summarily crushed by the automakers). This is a must see for everyone, in spite of the fact that I guarantee you will not like what you see.
Runner Up: “Happy Feet” – an animated family story with a message that both entertains and touches young and old alike – “dare to be different or nothing will change and bad things happen to those who can’t change.”
Honourable Mention: “Click” – a (reverse engineered, special effects version of the “It’s a Wonderful Life” theme) comedy about a man who uses a universal remote control from God to mute, fast forward and otherwise get what he wants from life without paying much attention to the details; also “Snakes on a Plane” for pure mindless entertainment that appeals to all the senses; and “Lucky Number Slevin” an action mystery with enough character twists to keep everyone guessing.
