Crazy Is In The Air

September 5, 2009 John florida, Frank Pallone, health care, Jim Greer, medicare, Michelle Bachmann, reform, republicans, Students

This week, we had craziness at Walmart in Georgia, Michelle Bachmann coming through for us again, teabaggers berating a lady in a wheelchair at a health care town hall meeting, and Medicare recipient getting treatment for an injury he received while protesting government run health care. But we start with just a tiny bit of the foolishness being spewed over Obama speaking to school children about doing good in schools this year. What a sad place we’ve been brought to in this country by a small group of small-minded and easily manipulated people.

Sunshine Cleaning – A Movie Review

August 31, 2009 John Alan Arkin, Amy Adams, Christine Jeffs, Comedy, Drama, Emily blunt

Once the high school cheerleading captain who dated the quarterback, Rose Lorkowski now finds herself a thirty something single mother working as a maid. Her sister Norah is still living at home with their dad Joe, a salesman with a lifelong history of ill-fated get rich quick schemes. Desperate to get her son into a better school, Rose persuades Norah to go into the crime scene clean-up business with her to make some quick cash. Lay and I both agreed it is probably the best film we’ve seen recently.

Many Thanks Senator Kennedy

While members of the Kennedy family, to this day, continue to enter public service, the death last night of Senator Ted Kennedy brings to an end that original family dynasty. Perhaps the final tragedy suffered by this family is that Ted Kennedy didn’t live to see his life’s goal of heathcare insurance for all come to pass. Requiem eternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

International, The – A Movie Review

August 25, 2009 John Action, Adventure, Bankers, Banks, Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, Tom Tykwer

Interpol Agent Louis Salinger and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman are determined to bring to justice one of the world’s most powerful banks. Uncovering myriad and reprehensible illegal activities, Salinger and Whitman follow the money from Berlin to Milan to New York to Istanbul. Finding themselves in a high-stakes chase across the globe, their relentless tenacity puts their own lives at risk as their targets will stop at nothing — even murder — to continue financing terror and war. It was a bit better than I expected, but I’m glad I didn’t spend the full theatre price to see it.
