What the #$*! Do We (K)now!? (2004)
Not for the weak-minded...
At first..... I really loved this film - and it's message - until digging a bit deeper. I found evidence that the production staff was actually the front for a New Age group - the Ramtha School on Enlightenment.
My first suspicion that something was wrong ... the scene of the ice crystals purportedly influenced by thought...(?)
Then the blond Hungarian (or whatever that accent was...) seemed to be a "little too dreamy while talking". This should have been expected, though, as she claims to be the channeler of a 35,000 year old man. (I kid you not, find it yourself....)
If you want a jumping off point to decide for yourself, look at Wikipedia and csicop.org.
Now the only remaining wonder I have (after wasting my time on this film) is ... why Dr. David Albert didn't sue the group for misrepresenting him? (His interview was fortuitously edited to support the film's main premise.)
Entertainment, yes - a good time was had by all. And for a time I was also "had". I resent being conned by this pseudo-documentary!
Sorry, Bleep - this goes on the shelf with the Da Vinci Code, Cave of the Ancients, and the writings of Charles Forte.
As a truly great man once said: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof."
