If you’re interested in looking at the links I find on the internets (where there are rumors, I hear), you can view my link repository, managed with del.icio.us. I don’t include links to randomly found websites here anymore, but there’s a link to my found links on my link page if you misplace it.* So check it out, you might enjoy some of them.
In the last two days, I’ve seen two movies. One was seen at the Princeton Garden Theaters and the other on the USA Network on television. One of the movies is highly recommended and the other is not so much highly recommended.
If you’ve been paying attention, you know by now that Million Dollar Baby is considered a great movie, at least according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It is film as art, the way I like it. If you’re a fan of Sergio Leone, you’ll notice familiar lighting techniques, camera angles and movements, and storytelling. Clint Eastwood directed, acted, and wrote the musical score for the movie. His talent really shines.
The other movie I happened to catch had a horrible story and was merely a shade of its original. Bring it On Again was truly a disappointment, despite scantily clad cheerleaders jumping around. As far as Los Angeles suburbs go, I’d choose Torrance over Whittier any day.
* At the last count, “link” showed up four times in that sentence—not bad.
Whittier? As in…”White-ee-er”? That’s just wrong….
Well, it’s more like “WIT-ee-er.”
