Since I couldn’t find a trailer for “For All Mankind” I decided to throw in a bonus film, the post just didn’t felt right without both. When in this modern era we take the accomplishment of landing on the moon for granted, these filmmakers make us live out all the hype once again. Without doubt here I present the best of films made about missions to the moon, with original footage remastered, it’s nothing less of a feast for the eyes.

If interested to any extent by philosophy, Dennett is one man you might recognize, if not, here is your chance. He is a professor trained in critical analysis specializing in high level consciousness that within the course of the above posted one hour video will open and bend your mind. Before viewing the video I recommend at least a brief read about the principle of differential replication and memes. Ever thought about the design and meaning of life?, is there really one?, we might even already have the answer but never thought of it this way.

An Aboriginal adventure story that is so well told you can believe it. A unique tone that gives us a breath of fresh air into a world we certainly have never seen before where spontaneous humor is more common than it is today. It’s a convincing anthropological trip to the past were we can see todays human nature is nothing new. An incredible hilarious, feel-good film where the only true tragedy is the fact this kind of living in modern days suffers a countdown clock that measures it’s lifespan in years if not days.

Having a bad day mate? you think things couldn’t get worse? Today I present to you a griping from start to end documentary that tells the true story of two climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985. Here is one of the thousand of reviews that can illustrate better than me:

“Awe-inspiring work by director Kevin Macdonald takes us with a minimum of fuss to a corner of the Andes in Peru for this epic tale of endurance against the elements.

Ever had a lucid dream?, what if you thought you’ve waken up to just realize you were in another dream? Cram into this concept a big dose of philosophy and science and you’ve got the recipe for a Richard Linklater film. He embarks us on a very trippy visual movie where a young guy is swept away from dream to dream having short but deep enlightened chats about life with the most intriguing characters. Ever thought about the nature of our reality or about our perception? be ready to be blown away, this movie is a one of a kind and you don’t want to be missing it. You’ll want to have the remote near you, that pause button might come in handy.
