Musings on movies, connections, and what to anticipate, suitable for reading before or after you see them. I love movies, watch 2-3 per week on average, and write about things I like WITHOUT SPOILERS. The only thing I hate more than spoilers are reviewers who trash movies because they think it makes them seem smart. When a movie title contains a link, it's almost always a link to my blog posting on the title.

Dalai Lama Renaissance (2007)
In 1999 a group of thinkers went to Dharamsala, India, to confer with the exiled Dalai Lama, and it took until now to get the movie released. Some of the participants were also in the documentaries The Secret (2006) and What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004), made later but released sooner. I liked 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama (2006) better. A personal odyssey, it was one man's journey to learn from His Holiness. Renaissance was an ensemble piece. Both documentaries were good, and gave this westerner insight into the sights and sounds of India, Tibet, and Buddhism. They are recommended for anyone with an interest in the Dalai Lama and/or his teachings.
