Bruce Demara
Seifert approaches the subject from the perspective of a concerned father of three youngsters and he comes across as earnest and well-intentioned.
Gary Goldstein
While the movie rarely feels like the definitive, well-honed dissection this critical subject demands, [Seifert's] lighter approach keeps a somewhat arcane topic more easily digestible, dare say...
Jeannette Catsoulis
[Provides] a gentle, flyover alert to obliviously chowing-down citizens ... without hectoring and with no small amount of charm.
Andrew Schenker
Why anyone would think that home movies of the director and his kids belong in a social-issues doc is a truly WTF question.
Ernest Hardy
A documentary that is by turns exasperating, illuminating, and intentionally infuriating.
Alissa Simon
Combines the folksy charm of Taggart Siegel's The Real Dirt on Farmer John and the frightening facts of Robert Kenner's Food, Inc.

VERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS.... It was a very shocking documentary. I had no idea that the Monster Monsanto was this powerful. We are all like guinea pigs for them to line their pockets. With their abilty to genetically modify and add poisons to our food supply and give us disease, then use their pharmaceutical branch to sell us the expensive drugs to treat the diseases they are spreading. They are more powerful than our own government. They take what God created and treat it with poison and licence it as THEIR CREATION. Terrifying, truly

Propaganda Trash Everyone who believes that GMO's are force fed to us so that we will be unhealthy needs to take a seriously skeptical look at this film. A good start is The Skeptics Guide To The Universe podcast. With our rapidly growing world population, we will definitely need to feed more people and organic food is not the answer for many very simple reasons. Get educated and stop relying on "concerned fathers" to give you their version of science with clever edits of legitimate interviews. Shame on this filmaker!

Intentionally misleading Do a google search and read from some other sources before taking this propaganda to heart. Perhaps Monsanto is evil, in the same way any international corporation may be evil, but there's no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. GMOs pose some interesting questions, but this is too heavy handed and sensationalized to be taken seriously.
Please watch! Very important! And oh and Greg i feel you feel completely and was also desirous of the science not being waxed over.. But im grateful that you looked into it on your own.. Cheers mate! AND WYATT YOU GO LAD! WE NEED YOU & YOUR GENERATION MORE THAN EVER BEFORE THANK YOU FOR FOR CONSIDERATION // i feel the urgency to adress how, in nature, due to natural selection, there are & will be unforseen repercussions ie unintentional organisms will 'unlikely' adapt resistances to 'pesticides' & 'herbacides' ... *Sigh BIG PICTURE

Light on science, heavy on opinion Disappointed. This isn't a scientific look at GMOs and doesn't address the research done by major scientific bodies. After the movie I searched around and even his assertions about the World Health Organization turned out to be inaccurate. It is so bad you might suspect pro-GMO groups were secretly behind the making of this movie.

Chasing Ice
In the spring of 2005, acclaimed National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change and a cynic about the nature of academic research. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history. Chasing Ice is a feature documentary about one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, Balog conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic, by helicopter, canoe, and dogsled, to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether, risking both his career and his well-being. As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for him to see the fruits of his labor. But his hauntingly beautiful videos compress those years into seconds. His Extreme Ice Survey captures ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist doing everything in his power to deliver hope to our carbon-powered planet.
Into the Abyss
In his fascinating exploration of a triple homicide case in Conroe, Texas, master filmmaker Werner Herzog (Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Grizzly Man) probes the human psyche to explore why people kill—and why a state kills. In intimate conversations with those involved, including 28-year-old death row inmate Michael Perry (scheduled to die within eight days of appearing on-screen), Herzog achieves what he describes as "a gaze into the abyss of the human soul." Herzog's inquiries also extend to the families of the victims and perpetrators as well as a state executioner and pastor who've been with death row prisoners as they've taken their final breaths. As he's so often done before, Herzog's investigation unveils layers of humanity, making an enlightening trip out of ominous territory.

Tim's Vermeer
Tim's Vermeer, directed by Teller of Penn & Teller fame. Produced by Teller's stage partner Penn Jillette and Farley Ziegler, the film follows Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, as he attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all of art: How did 17th century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer ('Girl with a Pearl Earring') manage to paint so photo-realistically, 150 years before the invention of photography? Jenison's epic research project ultimately succeeds as he uses 17th century technology -- lenses and mirrors -- to develop a technique that might have been used by Vermeer, supporting a theory as extraordinary as what he discovers. Spanning a decade, Jenison's adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces; on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney; and eventually even to Buckingham Palace, to see the Queen's Vermeer.
