Movies & Books
Let's start out with the books.Finished
"Don't Eat This Book" by Morgan Spurlock...well you have to read this book. But I recommend doing it in a specific timeline.
First read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser
This will give you the inside skinny (no pun intended{besides, it wouldn't work here} on the fast food industry and the food processing industry. WARNING: you may not ever touch meat again after reading it.
Then rent/buy the dvd "Supersize Me"
Don't forget to check out the extras.
Then read "Don't Eat This book"
And you may become the healthiest person on the planet. Better than the Atkin's diet. I think I've lost about 20 pounds thanks to Mr. Schlosser and Mr. Spurlock.
Also finished reading:
"How to Know God" by Deepak Chopra.
This book talks about the stages of spirituality and self enlightenment. It's weird how Physics and religion are both right...They just need to get together.
Okay for movies this week is saw:
Batman Begins. You know Christian Bale ain't so bad as Batman. This movie explains how and why Bruce Wayne became and is Batman. And the really cool part is that it makes sense and fits...in fact it seems obvious.
Mighty Aphrodite. A Woody Allen movie that could have been better. The use of the Greek Tragedy Chorus is a very neat tool.
The Accidental Tourist. This movie was good but the quirkiness of Geena Davis' character seemed too quirky.
Made In Heaven. Very neat idea of heaven and death. I'll warn you: it is a very 80's movie. But the cameos by Neil Young, Tom Petty and Rick Ocasek are fun....here's an added test see if you can tell me which character is played by Debra Winger.
Well that's enough for now....get to reading...share your comments and ideas.
Right now I'm reading "Velocity" by Dean Koontz...so far it's pretty good. Not as intense as I'd hoped.
and "The World As I See It" by Albert Einstein. I never realized how politically oriented he was until this book.
