极度Scientists make a horrible discovery: The "Big One" is coming in two days, with it, California will sink to the ocean. Their only hope is to rupture a volcano that will displace the earthquake's energy and build a new crust on the surface. But as foreshocks turn California into chaos, it's a race against time the scientists might not win.

回复 :A documentary on the history of garlic. Blank interviews chefs, garlic lovers, and historians about the their love of the 'stinking rose.'Often referred to as a stinking rose, garlic, in its culinary uses, generally evokes a love it or hate it response. Quite often, these responses are on cultural lines, where old world cultures have generally revered it in their cooking, while new world cultures have not. A renaissance of sorts is taking place in the use of garlic in the United States, with more and more immigrants bringing their use of the spice to the country, with more people desiring more spice in their food, with a desire to get back to the land and with the production of plant a large part of the Central California landscape. Many chefs are presented preparing dishes prominently featuring the spice. On the bad side, the association of garlic to bad breath is discussed. On the other side, its purported health benefits are also discussed. Other topics presented include its association to vampirism, and speculation of how people will want their garlic to be presented to them in the future.

回复 :在柏林的一家大饭店里。那时整个德国笼罩着经济危机的阴影。在豪华的大饭店里麇集许多来自不同阶层的人物。其中有陷入困境而避风头的财界巨擘普莱辛格，无奈色衰而想自尽的芭蕾舞演员格鲁辛斯卡娅，被赌博弄得倾家荡产而偷窃为生的旧男爵冯盖根，普莱辛格的旧属风烛残年的孤老克林格兰，以及年轻漂亮但贪婪自私的速记员弗兰苓等。这部第5届奥斯卡最佳影片是米高梅在30年代初期首创“全明星电影”的代表作。全片以柏林的一家豪华大饭店为人生舞台，表现五组人物在同一天之中的离奇遭遇。叙事手法虽然中规中矩，但几位大明星的表演却相当精彩，充分掌握角色的个性和处境，其中有：面临事业危机的俄国芭蕾舞女星、嗜赌的男爵、患上绝症的小人物、企业家等。这些角色以三线交错的方式上演着人生的悲欢离合，剧情发展流畅，场景虽然局限在大饭店中，但人物穿梭流动自然。故事在后来的《柏林饭店》（Hotel Berlin）和《琼楼风月》（Weekend at the Waldorf）中再度出现，并被改编成百老汇歌舞剧。

回复 :The Polish doco for the BFI’s Century of Cinema distinguishes itself from all the others in the series by being the only one not to have any film critics, academics, directors, etc providing a commentary. Instead it takes the refreshing route of having ordinary people of all ages talking about what’s special to them about movies – so we get some old folks describing their first trip to the cinema when a lot of people didn’t even know what a film was, memories of what it was like to go to the movies as children, teenagers, and adults before, during, and after WWII, and especially the key scenes from films that have made lasting impressions upon them (not unexpectedly, Wajda’s KANAL strikes a nerve), which are shown in accompaniment, so that it becomes the interviewees who ultimately decide what’s shown in the doco. This kind of stuff is what the ‘100 Years of Cinema’ celebration is really about.
