Weekend Review

3 Netflix movies-
Good German - A movie made in the "Film noir" style, lacked the common feature of "over dramatic moments" so it made it pretty much a sleeper.
Bridge to Tarabithia - Pure Disney tripe to sell a soundtrack made for 11 yr old girls. The only thing missing was a kick to the crotch of a adult male actor (another Disney stand-by of a crap movie).
Fay Grim - Missed seeing it on HDnet, should have missed seeing it on DVD.

A Real Movie - Ratatouille - Once again Pixar pulls off a great movie. Ratat' is true to the culinary traditions of the kitchen and even explains each job in the kitchen. The story is delightful and leaves you with a smile and good feeling, if not hungry. Which leads to ....

Papa Murphy's - Think subway for pizza and take it home and bake it yourself. The pizza is EXCELLENT! The freshest ingredients and wonderful tasting crust. Try them out, they are just north of the Wal-mart on Loop 250.

iPhone - It seems to live up to the hype so far. Apple thought of everything by upgrading iTunes so that phones could be activated at home thus the only lines were to buy them. The iPhone is a huge step forward for Apple as it moves from computers to ilifestyle appliances. Apple has always been good at pushing the envelope and coming up with new devices ie. the first PDA - Newton, first "networked" video game system - Pippin, one of the first digital cameras - Apple Quiktake. But in the past Apple didn't have the marketing power and brand recognition as they do now. So expect alot more from Apple and hope they don't become a slow moving behemoth that kills innovation like Microsoft or IBM.

UK Hotzone - The bomb attempts remind us, there's people that still hate us and are willing to do us harm. I found this article VERY interesting The Guardian
