The apocalyptic documentary The 11th Hour is dreary in tone and drab in execution. It's basically a series of talking heads alternating with images of everything from industrial progress to scenes of famine to pictures of angry nature wreaking havoc on the world's helpless creatures.

This Friday, the Leonardo DiCaprio-narrated and -produced green documentary The 11th Hour opens in theaters. I'd bet the filmmakers, sisters Nadia Conners and Leila Connors Petersen, were pretty stoked to get a big name to endorse their film and their cause since this seems to be a good way to raise awareness.
Angelina Jolie is, of course, a huge proponent of using her celebrity for good, as is Brad Pitt, most recently with his sustainable New Orleans houses.

Soon after this year's Oscars, I heard tell of Leonardo DiCaprio's environmentally themed documentary, and now the movie has a trailer and a release date of August 17. Back then, DiCaprio was described as "using the medium that he knows best to explore the problem of global warming by making a documentary that is almost a film... the feature-length film even tries to proffer solutions for restoring the Earth's ecosystems."

Environmentally friendly Leo is certainly committed to making the world a better place. He started an eponymous Foundation to raise environmental awareness and he's financially supporting a child in Africa. He chooses to work on films that educate and inform such as Blood Diamond and the upcoming Conspiracy of Fools, about political corruption.

Leonardo DiCaprio stopped by a dinner party in Berlin last night before attending to the Cinema for Peace charity gala today, where he received an award for his work on The 11th Hour. The actor has always been environmentally conscious, although he's also got other things on his mind. He supposedly was rooting for Bar Refaeli to be on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in order to upset his ex Gisele Bundchen and rumor has it he got his way.
