Movie Reviews

I haven�t been reading a lot lately because I have been busy. Planning my life, my diet and doing a lot of research. I�ll catch up, I promise.

As you My have noticed, you can now put that little widget from google on you site and people can subscribe to your Diaryland diary. I imagine it will work with other sites too.

I got a good deal on some new DVDs at Ebay the other day so I both three of them.

The first was Jacob the Liar with Robin Williams as a Jewish Caf� owner. It is not his regular funny stuff. Quite the opposite. It takes place in Nazi occupied Poland during WWII.

Jacob accidently hears a forbidden broadcast stating that the Russian allies are succeeding in military strikes against the Nazis.

When news of this sparks a bit of hope throughout the small town, Jacob begins spinning tales to bring hope back into the town claiming he has a hidden radio. The movie unfolds as the Nazis try to find this radio that is supposedly feeding all the information to the town.

It is not a funny movie by any stretch of the imagination. It is a movie of desperation turned to hope because of the lies of one man determined to keep up the spirits of his fellow townsmen.

An excellent movie.

The next movie I bought was Schindler�s List. Yes, I am probably the last person on earth that has not seen this movie. I will be watching it this weekend.

The last movie I bought was Captain Corelli�s Mandolin. We watched it last night. Terry wasn�t overly enthused. I loved it. It stared Nicholas Cage and Penelope Cruz. It was the story of Germany�s infiltration of Greece. Nicholas Cage was part of a unit in the Italian Army that was purely musical. He falls for the town�s beautiful Pegelia, the daughter of a Greek doctor. What ensues shows what happens when you have two sets of people fighting a war the neither wants to fight. Another excellent movie.

So there�s three for you that though they are old, they are still worth watching. I have heard enough about Schindler�s List to know that one is. And I know the others are.

Here�s another little story that you will probably have had to have been there, but let�s see if I can do a good enough visual for you the catch the drift of it.

We have DVR and it�s great. It is especially great if we record something and don�t watch it until the next day. Then we get to fast forward through all of the commercials. Well, the other night, we were watching something live, so of course we couldn�t fast forward. All of a sudden at the same time, I was pushing the fast-forward button repeatedly and the NBC logo came up. This one here�


When the logo came up, the red feather was flying around and finally settled into the spot you see it here. I said to Terry,

�Damn, it won�t fast-forward!�

His eyes were following the red feather all around the screen and he just stared in awe and said, �Are you doing that??�

�Ya, sweetheart, I used my light saber sword.� He is so cute sometimes.

He has gone for his preadmission testing today for his surgery Tuesday. He is really worried about this one. He even said he is going to write an entry. Wow. His email is [email protected] if you want to send some will wishes. He would appreciate them.

Later,
Cosmic
