Perks of Being a Wall Flower – A Movie Review

October 29, 2012October 28, 2012 B. John 482 Views 0 Comments Drama, Patrick de Ledebur, Logan Lerman, Adaptation, Dylan McDermott, Stephen Chbosky, Kate Walsh

Based on the novel written by Stephen Chbosky, this is about 15-year-old Charlie (Logan Lerman), an endearing and naive outsider, coping with first love (Emma Watson), the suicide of his best friend, and his own mental illness while struggling to find a group of people with whom he belongs. The introvert freshman is taken under the wings of two seniors, Sam and Patrick, who welcome him to the real world. I love this movie. It’s amazing. It has a great script, great cast, it’s well directed, awesome soundtrack and undeniable strong performances. This is one of the best coming of age movies I’ve ever seen.

Argo – A Movie Review

October 28, 2012November 30, 2012 B. John 385 Views 0 Comments Drama, CIA, Iran, Alan Arkin, Ben Affleck, Adaptation, John Goodman, Action/Adventure, Comedy, Hostages

The true story of the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis–the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. This is definitely a film worth seeing. I give it an eight.

Friend of David Duke and the KKK, Tony Perkins, head of the SPLC designated hate group, The Family Research Council (FRC) has released maybe one of the most stupid press releases I’ve ever seen. The real kicker comes near end of his rant. “And liberals wonder why women are turned off! After an entire campaign built on ‘lady parts,’ more women are waking up to the contempt Democrats have for them.” This is the classic Karl Rove tactic. Accuse the other side of exactly what you are guilty of doing. In fact, I think the Republican Party is focus group testing replacing the word “rapist” with “givers of gifts from God.”

So won last night’s debate? The polls seem to give it to Obama by a pretty good margin. I’m already reading some Facebook posts about “binders full of horses and bayonets.” But, let’s see what the few of us that read the posting here at Deep. think about it. Cast your vote in our poll and let us know who think won last night.

I was in Washington most of last week on business. Lay flew in Friday afternoon, and we spent the weekend touring. We did most of touristy things including the Air and Space Museum out near Dulles that Friday afternoon. Saturday and Sunday were spent mostly downtown around the Mall. I’d not been to the Air and Space Museum so that was cool. This was Lay’s first trip at all.

One Big Step

OK, this is one of those WOW! kind of things. Austrian Felix Baumgartner used a ballon to climb to over 128,000 feet, stepped out of a capsule, and jumped. Because he was in the very thin air of the stratosphere, during his 4 minute free fall, he reached a speed of 834.4 miles per hour (that’s Mach 1.24)…faster than the speed of sound. This on the same day 65 years ago when Chuck Yeagar became the first human to go faster than the speed of sound. Yeager used a rocket plane. Yeager was able to do it this year using just a space suit.

Truly, it is hard to imagine anything more feckless than what the Ryan/Romney campaign pulled a day or two ago when they decided to make an unscheduled stop at an already closed soup kitchen. Paul Ryan and the family took time out from their busy campaign schedule to wash previously cleaned pots in an empty and closed soup kitchen. Of course, this little stunt did allow Paul Ryan to double his private sector work experience. It seems to be the perfect metaphor for the Romney/Ryan Campaign.
