Force of Nature The David Suzuki Movie: Approaching age 75, scientist Dr. David Suzuki, seen by many as the leading environmentalist in Canada, is giving a lecture in Vancouver. As he stands behind the lectern, he tells many reasons why he and we should care about the environment. With the human population growing exponentially and humans having increasingly longer life expectancies, we as a species are having a larger footprint on the environment. Much of what is man made in the world, such as the economy, democracy and the dependence on fossil fuels, are treated as unchangeable forces of nature, when in reality they can and should be viewed critically, especially in their long term consequences on life on the planet. He also tells of the interconnectedness we are as a species without most really realizing it, and that we should have a stronger connection to place and what that means. Away from the lecture stage, he tells of the profound effect the bombing on Pearl Harbor had on his life as a third generation Canadian of Japanese heritage, and the resulting negative view of white Canada on ethnic Japanese for the better part of his growing up period. Beyond the internment of Japanese-Canadians in camps during WWII, this situation was especially problematic when he was a typically horny teenager in almost exclusively white Leamington, Ontario where he could not approach white girls for dates. He spent the best part of his scientific days at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee before moving back to his hometown of Vancouver and a job at the University of British Columbia. He does not consider himself to be the greatest of scientific minds, but sees himself as being a good communicator of science to the public, as seen through his long running television show "The Nature of Things" (1960). His interest in the environment took a stronghold in the 1980s when he was made aware of the fight against logging in Haida Gwai. This connection is now all the more important as his daughter Severn Cullis-Suzuki has since married into the culture Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.

The blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one - the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. A story of blood and beer and sweat, which strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
