This documentary catches three hunters, part of a Bushmen Tribe living in South Africa, hunting for their village and themselves. The film traces their movements as they track animals, and periodically stop and relate the stories to each other that accompany these animals on their trek. The closeness of nature and the appreciation of the animals they hunt winds its way through the film. One hunter ran after his prey for 4 hours until the prey simply ran out of stamina and resistance. The films also mentioned that the tribe's license to hunt had been revoked by the South African government after the film had been completed. It's a film to reflect on, and the tribe actually seems to be more civilized than our tribes. taproot

Nothing much in this film with the exception of Brenda Blethyn ("Secret and Lies"). The film is not creative in any way. If you have a desire to see two old women get stoned and eat corn flakes and behave like absolute morons than you may enjoy this one. I'd save my money; it's guaranteed to make the tube soon and it should be FREE. taproot

John Cusack is one of my better choices to watch in a film; it must be his Irish genetic string, or perhaps it's simply because he is one hell of an actor. I'm old enough not to recognize many of the songs played throughout this film, but not old enough not to still appreciate people with a passion for music. Cusack owns a record shop, accompanied by his zany (great characters) part-timer helpers. But Cusack is more interested in why his girl friends are, and have been leaving him. And we get a glimpse of his top 5 more painful separations. There is quite a plethora of beautiful women and much narration in this film, but John Cusack does it so well, that the narration becomes comfortable. Tim Robbins plays a minor role and performs quite well. It's a film that is enjoyable, not heavy, and if you're in a good mood to see fluff, but fluff done as well as fluff can be done, you may enjoy this film too.
