Michael Cain and Demi Moore star in this 2007 flick about a jewel heist set in the 60’s. I think it was a really good movie. Demi portrays an executive in a typical, male-dominated corporation, trying unsuccessfully to break through the glass ceiling when an interesting opportunity presents itself.

I came across this by accident. Check out this gallery of images by Ellen van Deelen of these cute, adorable, little furry critters. I can’t image the patience needed to get these pix. I know how difficult it is to get Truffles to stand still for more than 5 seconds of posing.

Wired Magazine (on-line) has a nifty article, showcasing the speeches of some of those involved in current politics, being transformed into art through http://wordle.net. Being a democrat, I found the one for McCain very suitable.  🙂

Check out the article at http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/09/michelle-obama.html. Read the comments–as they point out, these are open to interpretation, and certainly someone is bound to use these as a basis for selecting one person or the other.

I ran some of my own postings through http://wordle.net. Give some of your written work a shot and see what comes back.

Watched this through on-demand on Comcast. Well, didn’t watch the whole thing. It was boring. Actors didn’t do much to keep viewers attention. We turned to watch a Monk episode after wasting about 30 minutes on this waste of cable bandwidth.

A romance comedy about a blind guy in the dating world. Funny, and cute. If you are overly sensitive, there’s probably a tear or two in your future. Good rental.

Jet-Li drives a very cool car in this movie. Towards the end, the story line unfolded a bit predictably, although the ending left some nagging questions. I didn’t feel I had all the answers. Lots of action scenes with blood, cars, swords, and guns. Overall, this was a good watch.

Crazy father kills family. New family buys house and is haunted by dead family. Dead family gets revenge on crazy father that returns to house. Birds (ravens, actually) are frequent omens of the terrible thing that happened in the house, and there are scences reminding me of Hitchcock’s “The Birds”. There were a few spine-tingling moments, and some scenes distinctly recognizable as effects from The Ring and The Grudge, but they were shown just–well, because they could be shown. They did not appear to add to the story, nor did they seem to have much purpose other than time fillers. The sunflowers looked really nice on Blu-ray Disc (BD). Rent it if you don’t have anything else to do, but if you miss it, you won’t be sad.

On Blu-ray Disc (BD), this movie is really great, visually. The scenery is lush and detailed, bright and vibrant. Whereas for most High-Definition (HD) movies HD doesn’t add a noticeable impact, I found that I was often distracted by the scenery instead of focusing on the movie itself. It wasn’t until about 5 minutes into the movie, when we began to wonder if there was any English spoken–but apparently, that’s why subtitles were invented! The subtitles did not take away from the movie experience, and on BD they were very crisp and easy to read. Great story, easy to follow, suspenseful, and action packed. There was some fun had with a guy that was not producing grandchildren for his step-mother, and that had a funny twist. Highly recommended!
