Song

Listening to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer", one of my all time favorite artists and song.

Movie

This Friday evening of March 19th, we saw "Law Abiding Citizen". This is a fairly violent movie about a man whose wife and child are murdered one evening at their home. He seeks justice in his own way on the killers and those who were responsible for their defense.

The movie stretches reality a bit in places, but all in all, an interesting film, but definately not a "date flick".

I give it a 3 out of 5.

Movies

Friday evening watched "Breaking and Entering" with Jude Law and Juliette Binoche. This is an excellent film about a gang who enters Jude Law's company and steal laptops and other equipment. One young man (Juliette's son) is caught in the middle and faces prison for his deeds. A must see. Give it 4 out of 5.

Saturday evening watched "The Man Who Fell To Earth", a 1976 movie starring David Bowie and Candy Clark. It's a strange kind of science fiction movie about a supposed alien (David Bowie) who comes to earth to find water because his planet is suffering from a drought. Candy Clark plays his love interest. It's 2+ hours long and is somewhat slow to develop. Nice to see a scene toward the end when Rip Torn's character is in a record store and all music is $4.66/album. The good old days of affordable analog music.
The movie is a classic, and I give it 3 out of 5.

Movie

March 9th, 2010 we watched "Up In The Air" with George Clooney. He portrays a man who travels all over the country and fires people. The company who employed him, suggested that a new way to do it was over the internet. An office was set up with a terminal and a web-cam so they could see the person who was being let go and they could see them as they explained to him/her that they were being fired. It was very ipersonal and was scrapped in favor of the face-to-face method after one poor girl who was fired committed suicide. The movie received some Oscar nominations and is a good film. I recommend it, especially to those who have sat on the other side of the desk and were shown the door.
