Even though I was told by "the young master" that the movie was not great, I still wanted to see it with my own eyes. Well, he was right, I was not impressed at all. For one thing, once you have seen The Lord of the Rings, you expect more. For another, you knew most of these main characters would not die (because they needed to live long enough to be in the Lord of the Rings). The end.
I know that sometimes I have to take a rain check even from you. However, I don't like to get a wrong gift. I wanted to see movie "Lincoln," not " Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunte r ." Well, since it's a 3D, I will have to just watch it. Maybe it's time for you to hire a younger mind for the job? ps. I know the gingerbread men I left out for you this year were so great. It's all this gluten-free non-sense. I will find you better ones next year.

http://www.flowthefilm.com/trailer About the Film Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?" Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround. On December 10th, 2008 FLOW was invited to screen at the United Nations as part of the 60th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. Watch the video here: FLOW at the UN
I don't know since when I prefer to watch fun movies, instead of those depressing ones, such as To Live. I went with some friends to see Red last night, and we all had a great time. Red(or, Retired and Extremely Dangerous)was the perfect mix of actionandcomedy. There was no shortage of fist fights, gun fights, and explosions, but at the same time the filmmanaged to keep up the comedic timing... If I wasnt sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next, I was laughing my butt off. The story itself had great twists and turns, including the reveal of the bad guy. I suggest you read the rest of the review (using link below) after you have seen the movie. Oh, please let me know who shot Joe and whether or not Joe is dead. http://www.bscreview.com/2010/10/red-movie-review/
The m ovie Doubt is tho ught-provoking, not for someone who wants a relaxing evening. In the movie, one scene seems more powerful to me than all others, in which Father Flynn ( Phillip Seymour Hoffman ) gives a sermon on the nature of gossip: A woman came to confess about a gossip she told and asked for forgiveness. She was told to take a feather pillow and a knife to the rooftop of a high-rise. She did, using the knife to repeatedly stab the feather pillow and the feathers rained down like Christmas snow The woman returned to the church and asked what she should do next. She was told that now she had to go and COLLECT all the feathers Most of us are involved in some kind of gossip, mostly harmless. However, I will always remember the feather pillow when I am about to pass on another gossip. Gossip From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gossip is idle talk or rumour, especially about the personal or private affairs of others. It forms one of the oldest and most common means of sharing (unproven) facts and views, but also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information transmitted. The term also carries implications that the news so transmitted (usually) has a personal or trivial nature, as opposed to normal conversation . The term is sometimes used to specifically refer to the spreading of dirt and misinformation , as (for example) through excited discussion of scandals . Some newspapers carry gossip columns which detail the social and personal lives of celebrities or of lite members of certain communities . Doubt (2008 film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Doubt is a 2008 film adaptation of the John Patrick Shanley stage play Doubt: A Parable . Written and directed by Shanley and produced by Scott Rudin, the film stars Meryl Streep , Philip Seymour Hoffman , Amy Adams , and Viola Davis , who were all nominated for Oscars at the 2009 ceremonies . It premiered on October 30, 2008 at the AFI Fest before being distributed by Miramax Films in limited release on December 12, 2008 and in wide release on December 25, 2008.

A breathtaking Movie - The last Mohegan I Just watched The last Mohegan, a movie full of bloody and breathtaking scenes. You certainly feel that how pale our philosophy is: you can argue endlessly how one culture or one science theory is equally plausible as another. But when there is a struggle, specially a military one, it is not the issue of right or wrong any more. It is the issue: To live or to die. You can watch the End Scene from YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9rRKaD_lqM or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SoeDAPj6ggfeature=related This is definitely not a movie to describe how Indians are slaughtered by the white. It is the killing and slaughtering to each other. The most bloody version of Tooth for tooth, eye for eyes. All the most cruel activities such as killing both women and children, ripping the heart from a human being, burning people alive, forcing people to drop from abyss which definitely give a vivid replica of bloody time of the early America colony. Lying deeper is the despair of less developed civilization. As the Last Mohegan said, this world will belong to his son and his sons woman. It will belong to him no more. At the end of the day, there will be no frontier any more. All can be remembered is just a piece of history. Peaceful co-existence of two polar systems? Could two totally different type of civilization be co-existed in peace? Could people can solve their different political or economical issues in a peaceful way? The problem is that there must be some hierarchy in the society. Who will be in the higher rank? Who will be in the lower? There are no clear-defined boundaries. Nobody is willingly staying below if they can reach higher. A process of changing this hierarchy is the reason for the political and economical struggles. This is a really dilemma. We want to progress, we like to introduce some revolutionary elements in our society. Then the society can really go forward. However, if this kind of change is not well-defined, it will lead to unavoidable conflicts. No body at the top is willing to give away their privileges and let others to enjoy, while the lower parts are desperately seeking the higher one by all his means. Brave new world solution If we only want the stability, we can use what Brave new world said, to predetermine that everybody will like their roles in the society and do nothing to challenge them. Then everybody is satisfied in the white-washed pale happiness and the whole society will change no more. However, the payment is really too large that we would lose all our passion and yearning for something which is really worthwhile: such as our curiosity of questing the nature, our spending time on anything rather than our social duties. Life is too short to lose all these beautiful parts. END
