PR Boredom on DVD Aug 12

Award-winning director and investigative journalist Albert Nerenberg poses these essential questions, asks why the subject of boredom has been so religiously avoided and shows that boredom isn't what you think it is. Prompted by a study that revealed that boredom may actually be a stress condition, the documentary begins with the 2011 London riots, which, although they were started for political reasons, were spread partly by - you guessed it - boredom!

DVD Review THE HORDE

If you're up on your 14th century Mongol-vs-Russian history this slow-moving 129 minute historical drama may be worth your while. As for the rest of us who think our absence of relevant historical knowledge can be assuaged by a lot of battle sequences (warning: it does not contain even one) it is a beautifully shot production that looks, feels and sounds period authentic.

The Henan province disaster, where three million people died of starvation, was a humanitarian crisis first sparked by drought, then compounded by a combination of windstorms, government corruption and a war with Japan.
