Spiderman 3

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Spiderman 3 is now out on DVD and we finally watched it last night.

I thought it was pretty good, entertaining…we get to see the dark side of Peter Parker a.k.a Spiderman.

I don’t think I can ever get tired of watching Spiderman swing from one building to another ;)

Keep Moving Forward

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

“Keep Moving Forward” is the message in Walt Disney’s computer-animated film “Meet the Robinsons”.

I was actually falling asleep while watching the movie until the scene where the dinosaur was attacking Lewis and can’t get to him coz “I have a big head and little arms…”

It was really funny and I cracked up, and woke up in the process.

This movie is not as great as Finding Nemo or Shrek but it does have a great message….Keep Moving Forward even if it doesn’t go as you had planned.

It’s OK if you fail, just keep moving forward.

I think that’s a great message that both kids and adults can use.

Hoax

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

This is a great movie starring Richard Gere and Alfred Molina. They are both excellent in the movie.

Hoax is about Clifford Irving who stuns his publishers at McGraw-Hill when he tells them that he’s writing an authorized Howard Hughes autobiography.

Now that won’t be that shocking if Howard Hughes was not this eccentric, paranoid, recluse gazillionaire who had not been seen in public for over 10 years. (If you haven’t already, check out The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio which was a film I enjoyed as well)

It was a brilliant idea and Clifford fooled everyone, including 60 minutes! But it was Howard Hughes who was even more brilliant Clifford. He used Clifford to write about how he had given a loan of $205K to President Nixon’s brother, among other contributions.

Howard Hughes used the situation to his advantage and created an opportunity for him to get out of his legal troubles.

While not certain, this fake book may have made the Nixon administration so paranoid that it eventually led to the Watergate scandal.

This movie just came out on DVD so do check it out. I really enjoyed it!
