If you're looking for a really nice film "The Water Horse" Legend of the Deep, is an excellent choice for both adults and children, I was surprised as to how good this film is, most of the filming was done here in NZ " and is mentioned only in the credits as the "second unit" I guess "Nessy" is supposed to be in Scotland also Peter Jackson's "Weta shop" did the special effects, a nice story, very well acted, a good all round production. excellent Scope print.
And for something completely different "I Am Legend" is another good one, unlike some of last years blockbusters zzzzzzzzzzz and although there is a lot of hand held camera shots, you wont notice it after your the first encounter with mutant human with very sharp teeth, which comes "right at you" it made me jump and that was from the projection box, never mind those that were sitting "I think" in the cinema, with what I have seen of the movie so far Will Smith has done a superb job, looks great in Scope and with really good sound.

I remember years ago that National Geographic actually did a whole study with sonar triggered cameras and all and while they didn't get any full shots of the creature, they did get some very interesting photo's of a very large flipper passing by the camera when it was triggered. I've always thought that they should do a new study with the new sonar and digital technologies that exist today.
There's enough partial proof out there for the possibility of Pleliasaurs (aquatic dinosaurs, for those who don't know what they are), to exist, to this day for it to merit a good, honest study of the subject. I mean, Celocanths were supposed to be millions of year old fossils, preserved in the fossil record, and in the last 100 years, live ones were found at the lower depths of the ocean, alive and kicking! To this day, the a great deal of the lowest depths of the ocean still haven't been actually photographed or studied.
... besides, wouldn't there be so much incredible interest in actual living dinosaurs today? It would be great!
