Man! I’m so glad I’m keeping up with this daily posting.
Let’s see. The story so far…
Finished the book Pattern Recognition by William Gibson. Which is ironic because I finished another Gibson book, Neuromancer, almost a year ago exactly. I guess I can update my reading pace from glacier to snail. I want to expand more on Pattern Recognition in a later post, but for now I can say it was a good read. Slightly science fiction, slightly not.
Watched Fools Gold(2008). It was not quite as bad as the rating it got. It’s just sort of your typical romantic/adventure movie and Matthew McConaughey gets hit in the head a lot.
Watched Charlotte Gray (2001). A very interesting tale of a lady who volunteers to be a courier behind enemy lines in occupied France during World War II, in hopes to find her lover who was shot down. It is not a sappy romantic drama, though I do find it hard to believe she would take this risk for someone she recently met. I suppose the story is a little hard to grasp, because so many awful things happen and yet has a fairytale ending, but that’s crazy, liberal Hollywood for you.
Finally watched Alien Vs. Predator Requiem (2007). Which was just awful, but that’s okay because I expected it to be, so shame on me. So if you like implausible storyline, even on the Predator or Alien homeworld, I would recommend watching it. Though I would not recommend watching this, if you have a tendency to scream at the tv screen. Your vocal cords will walk out on you.
