Robbe points us to a new movie: What The Bleep Do We Know!?...
“WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?!” is a new type of film. It is part documentary, part story, and part elaborate and inspiring visual effects and animations. The protagonist, Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of the quantum field hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality.

I'm also looking forward to seeing a movie that Fouroboros told me about:I Heart Huckabees.
Convinced that a series of coincidences involving a doorman hold some secret to life’s largest riddles, Albert Markovski (JASON SCHWARTZMAN) seeks the help of a detective agency unlike any other... which leads him down a path that questions the essence of existence itself.
In an attempt to ferret out the meaning of these flukes, he consults Bernard and Vivian Jaffe (DUSTIN HOFFMAN, LILY TOMLIN), AKA the Existential Detectives, a pair of married metaphysicians who fearlessly investigate the mysteries at the core of their clients’ secret innermost lives. When on a case, these two follow their clients around closely, observe their daily activities, query their friends and employers and intently examine the lives they lead. The difference is that the Existential Detectives seek the solutions to the most persistent mystery of all – the one that lies at the core of reality and existence itself... which means their investigations can get a little tricky...

I'm going to Bleep for the third time on Thursday (each additional time has been going with friends who haven't seen it). The second time I saw it, I got more out of it than the first. Seems to be one of those movies that keep people going back again and again. I know people who have seen it six or seven times (it's been here in the Seattle area for several months).
It was interesting to weave a story line into the documentary, but I thought it would have been just as good without it. The one thing that drove me nuts was the woman who says she channels Ramtha. Could have done without her popping up on the screen again and again, but the rest of the people in the documentary portion were quite interesting. The animation was fun as well. Definitely worth seeing.
