THE DINOSAURS (2026): The Things I Liked…

7 Comments

I enjoyed the first episode of The Dinosaurs, a documentary about the evolutionary journey of dinosaurs, so much that I had to pause at least twice just to give thanks.

And, yes, after watching all four episodes, I may now unrealistically want Morgan Freeman to be the voice of all my bedtime stories moving forward. Nonetheless, Freeman’s super narration is only part of what makes the film noteworthy.

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, it’s no wonder the special effects, story structure, and editing stand out for all the right reasons. 

The wonderful characters and serious edge-of-your-seat action also worked to keep me engaged throughout, to the point where 

The Dinosaurs is officially one of my favourite history lessons, brought to life on film. It comes second only to Colliding Dreams (2015), the history of the Israel/Palestine conflict. 

Absolutely watch The Dinosaurs for all the reasons mentioned above, and meet the extraordinary monsters we love, while also feeling grateful that we didn’t have to share the daily battle for survival on Earth with them.

Happy Film Loving,

THE DINOSAURS (2026): New Dinosaur Documentary Starring Morgan Freeman…

10 Comments

Read my spoiler-free movie review of The Dinosaurs (2026).

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and featuring Morgan Freeman as the narrator, The Dinosaurs is a new documentary that dives into the evolutionary journey of dinosaurs.

We can expect a close look at their origins, ecological significance, diversification, and eventual extinction.

How smart to have Freeman as the narrator, and to mention Spielberg’s involvement just before the Shark’s demise.

I’m ready for my prehistoric science/history lesson. Are you?

The Dinosaurs Release Dates: March 6th, 2026, Netflix…

The Tale of Silyan is a new documentary about the bond between a farmer and a white stork. It is a tale that intertwines with North Macedonian folklore.

Directed and co-written by Tamara Kotevska, this clearly moving tale features Nikola Conev, Jana Coneva and Aleksandra Coneva, to name just a few.

Love and companionship. All living things need at least one. This trailer may not have me suddenly wanting my very own Silyan, but I sure am glad that he found a place to belong.

Yeah, to love and kindness.

Aleksandar Conev, Ilina Coneva, Ile Stojkovski and Stojco Filipov also star.

Co-directed by Billie Eilish and Avatar director James Cameron, Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft – The Tour (Live in 3D) is a documentary about Eilish’s Manchester shows, a documentary accompanied by a 3D concert film. 

Great is the word for how this looks. And as a big fan of audiovisual magic, a.k.a. film, I’m in because of all the super creative talent involved. 

I have a feeling that my level of appreciation for Eilish’s work will increase quite a bit after watching this. Are you a fan too?

BEING EDDIE (2025) The Things I Liked…

Director Angus Wall’s biography/documentary about American actor and stand-up comic Eddie Murphy is the good time I hoped it would be.

Watching Being Eddie had me feeling like a guest in Murphy’s beautiful family home, as he, along with family, peers and friends, reminisced about his life and career. Not while they were all in the same room, mind you. Even though that would have been fun too, kind of like this gem. The likes of Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Pete Davidson, Jamie Foxx, and Kevin Hart featured as talking heads in different locations.

I enjoyed the look back at some of his most celebrated works. From his stint as a Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member to his more recent projects. I appreciated hearing about the stories behind the movies and stand-up comedy specials, and about how he navigated the weight of his own superstardom.

Thankfully, just as I imagined, while learning about what makes one of my favourite comics tick, I also got to hear some fresh jokes as he talked and told stories. A naturally funny person simply can’t help but amuse.

Being Eddie is a must for fans of his work. If only to relive some of the great times you had because he was dedicated.

Happy Film Loving,
