Inception-A Movie Review

July 20, 2010July 20, 2010 John Action/Adventure, Christopher Nolan, Drama, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Science Fiction/Fantasy and Thriller

Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible — inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

Dear Father – Johnathon Livingston Seagull

July 12, 2010June 28, 2010 John

Okay, maybe it’s a little sappy, but it was a great book, and I teared up at a few parts when I read it all these years ago, but it is uplifting music. This is the song from when Johnathon finally figures out the trick for flying as he wants. Who wouldn’t want to soar with him.

A Lost Surprise – Be

July 6, 2010June 28, 2010 John

I was messing around on YouTube the other day. Don’t ask why, but I happened to think about Johnathan Livingston Seagull. As you might imagine, the music all on YouTube. I haven’t thought about this for so many years, and can’t imagine what brought it to my mind, but I do still enjoy it. So over the next few weeks, I’ll post one every once in a while.

Jonah Hex – A Movie Review

July 4, 2010July 3, 2010 John Adventure, Jimmy Hayward, John Malkovich, Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, Western

Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone… and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the “other side.” His only human connection is with Lila, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. Jonah’s past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull. But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

America, The Beautiful?

July 4, 2010July 1, 2010 John

I had to follow with the question mark. I love this country and principles on which it was founded, but we’ve moved so far from that. People wrap themselves in the flag and take up the name Christian, and then go out to preach hate. We no longer care for on another with commentators thinking its funny to tell hungry children to go look in dumpsters for food. American Ministers go to Africa to encourage African governments to adopt bills that invoke the death penalty for homosexuality. We fouled our air and soiled our beaches…maybe destroyed an entire ocean.
