HELLO, POINDEXTER!

I just saw the movie ‘The Cove’ and I cannot tell you how important it is for you to see it, ASAP. It’s in the theaters now; this is that most crucial time that all movie makers face, where the number of people who attend a film in the first week or two is the basis on which theater owners decide whether to pull a movie or keep it in the theater for an extended run.It’s an amazing film, one that exposes a dark and cruel operation which involves the illegal slaughter of innocent dolphins by the thousands, all for the profit of a few. This practice is so very wrong; and it needs to be stopped. The documentary is wonderfully done, the majority of it plays like a suspense spy thriller in the tradition of “Mission Impossible;” while it does contain some disturbing footage, the latter is actually quite a small (but necessary) portion of the movie.Please consider going out to the theater to catch ‘The Cove’, (winner of the Sundance Film Festival’s 2009 Audience Award for best U.S. Documentary!) in the next few days if you can, to help bring those attendance numbers up and keep this film in the theaters. Like ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and other films like it, ‘The Cove’ contains a message that you need to hear. I guarantee you will be moved.Then, tell all your friends, family and acquaintances to see it too!
