    As 90s action cheese, it's near-perfect.

    Tom Hooper has picked some great projects, and in each he has done his damndest to ruin them. Cats...feels more appropriate to his skillset and level of talent.

    The Dark Side of Chocolate

    ★★★

    Not a well-made documentary but certainly an important one. It's kind of interesting when this happens, how the narrative and information is structured is done pretty poorly. There's very little good to say about the filmmaking and film itself but it certainly is an important topic. In 2001 the major parties in the chocolate industry signed an agreement to stop child-labor and trafficking on cocoa farms by 2008 (later extended to 2010) but have done little to nothing to stop these practices and are still using children on cocoa farms today.

    The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing

    ★★★

    I’m surprised they got so many big-wig directors in here for the talking-head segments. I don’t think it was too insightful, my eyes weren’t opened up to the magic of editing and all of its glory but I did learn a few things and there were some interesting bits. It's worth watching once, I wish it went into more technical aspects but it is a good introductory video for someone who hasn't the faintest clue about editing.
