98% Blackfish
All Critics (82) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (80) | Rotten (2)
"Blackfish" is a disturbing movie, one that will make you rethink parks like SeaWorld and their value.
Blackfish is intended to rattle and provoke in the hopes of bringing about change.
"Blackfish" is grim. But then again, so is the plight of these magnificent, intelligent whales.
Informative, earnest, but less than briskly paced.
"Blackfish" makes a compelling case that the cruelty of life in captivity is the cause for a rash of fatal attacks by orcas on their trainers, aggressive behavior that no so-called killer whale ever has exhibited in the wild.
Its ultimate message is clear: Killer whales belong with their families in their natural habitat, not performing for audiences. After listening to this film's many impassioned voices, it's hard to argue.
You don't have to be anything close to a PETA loyalist or an anthropomorphist to appreciate the genuine sorrow and eventual psychosis on display in footage of these whales.
Whatever its flaws, 'Blackfish' seems likely to be the rare film that inspires real reform and that helps awaken viewers to their kinship and responsibility to the animal kingdom.
The question that "Blackfish" provokes, viscerally, is whether the education and entertainment for visitors, and profits for the company, are worth it if the animals are mistreated and unhappy. After watching "Blackfish," the answer is crystal clear.
Depressingly unsurprising.
While Blackfish isn't exactly riveting, it is thought-provoking and leaves you with the urge to admire nature in its natural habitat rather than in a contained environment.
A repetitive but still compelling piece of activist filmmaking.
An engrossing look at animal behavior.
It is gripping and thought-provoking.
As enlightening and passionate as the picture is, Cowperthwaite fails to summon the type of comprehensive journalism this type of story deserves.
The one save-the-whales movie to see when you only have time for one.
There aren't too many animal-rights documentaries that could be described as "metal," but Blackfish, one part horror movie and one part nature film, fits the bill and then some.
Cowperthwaite juxtaposes to devastating effect official PR spin with news reports and eye-witness accounts of marine park tragedies.
[An] impressive, often gripping documentary ...
Engrossing when offers alarming CSI-type forensic analysis into the death of a whale trainer [but] the narrow focus on SeaWorld raises more questions that aren't considered.

Apple iPhone 5S launch event expected to be scheduled on September 10
The iPhone 5S is said to have an improved camera and processor as usual while rumors also point towards a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button. The iPhone 5C, in the meanwhile, is expected to come in a variety of colors with a plastic casing. Typically Apple has lowered the prices of its older iPhones rather than launching a low-cost variant, which could change this year. The iPhone 5C is speculated to be priced around $300 unsubsidized and would target non-carrier subsidy markets like India.
As is tradition, Apple will also unveil the final version of iOS 7, which it had first showcased at its annual WWDC event for developers in June that sports completely refreshed icons and numerous UI tweaks. Apple also unveiled a new version of OS X caller Mavericks but it would host another event aimed at Macs as typically this event is exclusively dedicated for the iPhone.
This will be the first major launch event for Apple this year as it has not hosted any iPad event in March-April timeframe as it has done since the first iPad was launched in 2010. Apple is also said to be working on the iWatch, a smartwatch accessory, but chances are slim that Apple would launch it at this event. However, we won?t rule it out completely as Apple is known to have a few surprises hidden up its sleeve and it could be CEO Tim Cook?s ?one more thing? moment.
Apple is yet to officially announce the launch date for the next iPhone.

Magnetization controlled at picosecond intervals
[unable to retrieve full-text content]A terahertz laser makes it possible to control a material's magnetization at a timescale of picoseconds (0.000,000,000,001 seconds). In their experiment, the researchers shone extremely short light pulses from the laser onto a magnetic material, where the magnetic moments - "elementary magnets" - were all aligned in parallel. The light pulse's magnetic field was able to deflect the magnetic moments from their idle state in such a way that they exactly followed the change of the laser's magnetic field with only a minor delay.

Book Review : The Attacking Ocean: The Past, Present, and Future of Rising Sea Levels by Brian Fagan
Review by Erin Wayman
By Brian Fagan
Web edition: August 9, 2013
Print edition: August 24, 2013; Vol.184 #4 (p. 30)
The threat of rising seas is not new. Since the last Ice Age began windingdown 15,000 years ago, the ocean has ascended 120 meters in a series of pulses. But when the world was thinly populated, small bands of hunter-gatherers could pick up and go when the sea surged. Now that hundreds of millions of people are settled in crowded coastal cities, the rising seas predicted for a warming world are more dangerous than ever, argues Fagan, an archaeologist.
Fagan chronicles the history of the climbing oceans and their influence on the development of early civilizations such as those of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. He also shows how modern societies from New Orleans to Shanghai continue to feel these effects. Without hyping the risks, Fagan provides solid geological, archaeological and historical evidence to support his arguments about what the future may hold.
Submerged land is but one hazard humanity faces as polar ice melts and oceans expand. Sea level rise will also exacerbate flooding from tsunamis and hurricanes. Wetlands, marshes and mangroves provide a natural barrier against these disasters by, for example, staving off erosion, Fagan notes. But humans are increasingly bulldozing this protection to make way for cities and industry. Of course, people have developed their own ways to fight back the seas, with levees, seawalls and the like. But these barriers aren?t foolproof, and sometimes they create their own environmental problems.
Fagan offers no simple solutions for impending sea level rise over the next century ? because there aren?t any. But he warns that society has to start tackling the problem now.

Military aircraft catches fire at Mogadishu airport
MOGADISHU |
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - An Ethiopian military aircraft carrying ammunition crash-landed at Mogadishu's international airport on Friday, bursting into flames and killing at least one crew member, airport staff and security officials said.
The plane got into trouble in the air and then missed the runway, crashing into the ground nearby.
Ethiopian troops are supporting Somalia's fight against al Qaeda-linked militants in the Horn of Africa country, although they are not part of an African Union (AU) peacekeeping force.
"We can hear explosions as it burns. It is burning like hell," said one security source at the airport shortly after the accident.
Yusuf Nur, an airport worker, said rounds of ammunition exploded in the fire.
A convoy of empty Somali military trucks had earlier been seen at the airport.
The fire, which was initially too intense for firefighting crews to tackle, was put out about two hours after the plane crashed. Witnesses said only a blackened shell remained.
Military aircraft regularly land at the city's airport, which also serves as the headquarters for the AU peacekeepers.
Authorities closed the airport, which has received a growing number of passenger flights over the past two years after African troops and Somali government forces flushed Islamist al Shabaab rebels from their bases in the capital.
Somalia's aviation record is among the worst on a continent which has a history of plane disasters. Until recently, the carcass of a Russian-made cargo plane lay tilted on its belly between the runway and passenger terminal of Mogadishu's airport.
Somalia is emerging from more than two decades of civil conflict. Security has improved in Mogadishu, which until mid-2011 was the frontline in the battle between government forces and militants, though the capital is still vulnerable to insurgent attacks.
