JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Woodyanders Richard Stanley's strange and experimental 32-minute avant garde documentary about the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the subsequent formation of the Taliban eschews standard narration in favor of simply presenting the events with a series of oddly lovely and often startling images. Immo Horn's dazzling cinematography offers a wondrous wealth of breathtaking visuals: a white crescent moon in the clear night sky, a bright orange sunset, soldiers fishing in a sparkling blue river, extraordinary sweeping shots of mountainous vistas, armed soldiers marching across the parched desert, soldiers stockpiling weapons, guns, tanks and cannons being fired, and the ruined flaming wreck of a destroyed tank all possess a strong and arresting cumulative power that's impossible to shake. Simon Boswell's beautifully haunting and moody score likewise impresses as well. Essentially a quirky and coolly meditative visual tone poem (in fact, a Surfi poem serves as the sole bit of narration in the entire picture), this singular documentary makes for a very powerful viewing experience.

dav07dan02 Director: Richard Stanley Voice of the Moon is one of a series of documentaries made by South African Richard Stanley. It comes more or less as an extra with two other documentaries in the Dust Devil DVD set. It was made in the late 80's during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan showing the struggles of the people in this war torn country. We are shown the reaction of the people after the defeat of the Soviets. The Taliban was formed during this time and Stanley shows footage of them. This documentary lacks a narration. Consequently, I didn't always know for sure what was going on. What one is seeing is behind the scenes footage of the land and its people set to a beautiful music score.
