The Balanced News

Seriously much better than i had thought, definitely very strange but worth the watch.

I watch a bunch of movies. I think most are good, worth the effort.  Some get rushed back to the mailbox with regret for wasted time.

New add on to my top ten all time favorite movies or list of love stories.  I first saw it on a plane over the Atlantic several weeks ago.  Even at 30thousand feet it created a watermark on my cheek.  I just watched it again and it is so satisfying.

Best movie i have seen in a long time think notebook and happenstance.

I saw some movies recently.  Juno.  Great soundtrack, recommend you see it - the movie too.

Dont see mist, if you saw it, not good.  I’m glad lorin paid, i think i wrote about this earlier if not again it is here.  (grammatically correct, did you notice)

National Treasure, less hokey than the last.  Good, funny.  Smart?
i dont know how i feel about these movies in the timing of the divinci code, either way it is a good movie.  So how is top hanks going to land the jump out of the helicopter at the end of angels in demons.
Golden Compass.  Strong.  Not sure how the christian left feels about this but i think they are suppose to be on the right anyways.

If anyone saw charlie Wilson war. let me know if it is good. Looks like it could be.  Thinking of tom hanks future movies has anyone see the original Farenheit 451, amazing.  Update Charlie Wilson’s War is great.
ps. i love you - also looks strangely appealing.  UPdate: Saw it was ok

Universal HD had Marathon of robo cop 1,2,3.  I dont understand how three was so much better than two.  Amazing, what were they think with robo cop 2.

after all

Notebook is the best movie ever.

an oldie but a goodie

If you are one of those people that might be wondering if someone is monitoring what you do, you watch what you say on the phone. Then you need not be reading this, you need to be watching the Weather Underground. Its a true story, the one not taught in the high schools. About a group that sought to overthrow the United States government as a result of the Vietnam War. The amazing part of this is that these members made many statements but never was imprisoned. These guys broke into the FBI and stole the files showing the FBI was spying on Americans. I think that may be legal now with the Patriot Act. Mr. Red White and Blue showing up in black with yellow letters. It does create a different emotion.

Eight Academy Awards, this movie is a great example of strength and determination. Gandhi is a name most of us know, not many of us really know the extent of that one mans life. Gandhi stood up to be beaten, jailed and starved in order to fight a war. This movie is a solid beacon of that mans life, the sacrifices he took to ensure India’s independence from british occupation.

A good family movie, it has all the loose ends of real life, but still finds time for the Hallmark moments. They even got a red head kid, whose siblings make fun of him with by calling him Fed Ex. Why because the Fed Ex guy dropped him off. Good Family movie, the fact that their are twelve of them is good because it gives the the whole family someone with whom to relate.

The movie in a theater near you is our theater Thursday movie of the Week. The movie love in the time of Cholera is a condensed version of the book. Again like usual the movie is better than the book. F-U to the hippies that think the inverse is true. Its like being injected with the experience. Yes you lose important aspects of the story, but the narrator would probably lose his voice if he had to run through the entire book.

Regardless of everything the movie was good in its amount of naked women. The book definitely had its share, the plot might have been more clear in the book, but the women where described much more clearly in the Movie. For instance in the Brothel the breasts where given full rein of the screen, having only a side note in the book, the variety being the true skill of the camera.

Seriously though, movie is not bad, when he is a boy and it jumps to the future. Its hard to realize that it was the same guy if you had not read the book. A bit chop at times it does hold to the essence of the story.

The movie did lack the longing that we all so desired in the book of the week.
