We watched this movie last night courtesy of Blockbuster. I thought it was a pretty good film, if you like character studies. Brian, on the other hand, didn’t like it at first, but after thinking about it all day, decided it was a decent movie.
Jennifer Aniston starred, and this was definitely her best movie role to date. As it turns out, she really can act. Who knew?
Brian’s boss is always lending him movies. They guy has eclectic tastes, to say the least. Because I’m too lazy to summarize the plot, here’s an excerpt from the back of the DVD, “When mysterious deaths plague the Shady Rest retirement home, it’s up to an aging, cantankerous “Elvis” and a decrepit–and black–“JFK” to defeat a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy with a penchant for sucking human souls!”
Need I say more? Brian actually liked the movie. In case you haven’t figured it out, I did not. I will say that it was better than An American Haunting, though.
You have to check this guy out. “He’s an autistic man who accurately draws entire cities from memory after a single 45-minute helicopter ride — right down to the correct number of windows in each building.”
It’s that time of the year again. I scanned through a really interesting online book about the bird flu the other day. It’s mostly a discussion of past pandemics and how the current bird flu is brewing.
And, I stumbled upon this great preparedness guide today. The password is ‘fluwikie‘. Get it while it’s hot.
And while we’re on the subject of the flu, why is it that I can’t seem to find a flu shot anywhere? Well, ok, there are some flu clinics going on at various drugstores and grocery stores, but who wants to wait in line for an hour for that? Supposedly, there were more flu shots available this year than people who would want to get them. But, I read something about a distribution problem and that certainly seems to be the case. Um, how about if someone gets in a truck and delivers this stuff? If I get the flu this year because I missed my shot, I’m going to be really pissed.
