About Schmidt (2002) was pretty weird, but in a dull, uninteresting sort of way. i don't think I really understood the movie, or felt like I identified with the character. The hero was not admirable, nor was he noble-- so I guess he was just a guy who has problems in his life. His way of dealing with problems is no example or lesson for the rest of us. I don't think I laughed during the entire movie... maybe I did when they got in a hot tub together. My friends got their jollies from the nudie shots, I guess...

Tonight we saw The Hurt Locker at LSC. War movies are not my favorite genre, and I was afraid to watch some parts of it. There were more than a handful of intense scenes that required me to shield my eyes. I thought the actor and drama was really riveting, the character development of the main character was fascinating. It is clear that sometimes, people get addicted to doing something they feel is important and they get a high from it. However, once you have a social responsibility, it seems like it can't end well if you give up your passion for a stable life. It was definitely an interesting movie, and shows that there are a lot of tough choices to be made for people who are exceptionally talented.

We saw a lot of movies recently. here are some of them from good to horrible. Live Free or Die Hard. So good that I would watch it again. Funny and great. Blood Diamond was tops. Leonardo DiCaprio was a good bad guy, and the plot twists were good. Good character development, you really sympathize for the native guy and his family. I liked the way DiCaprio says "hey bruv". The interplay between people was good. The end could have been more disney, but it was good the way it was. I think the plot would have been better if there was less violence, but it wasn't bad compared to the grisly hooks in The last king of scotland . Iron man was enjoyable, although the girl in the movie was too dumb a character for my liking. the plot was good, and the fight scenes were alright. It is nice to see the sweat of engineering being done in a movie.I was cheezed by the cameo of Samuel Jackson at the end. It was lame, and had no point. Actually some of the bits were supposed to be fun...

3 Idiots not so idiotic

I have not had time to watch many movies in the past year. However, over Xmas break I saw 3 Idiots and thought it was awesome. I can sympathize with the ideals in the movie about wanting to have a better understanding of engineering and struggling against other factors that may inhibit this love for learning. Only once a person gets over fear and external pressure can they truly enjoy what they do. The best thing about the movie is the songs: All Izz Well and Zoobie Doobie are my two favorite songs to watch with the kid.
