  • Thoughts on 'Triangle'

    Last night I decided to watch a film that was recommended by a couple of guys that host one of my favorite movie podcast (/Filmcast), and the movie they recommend was Triangle. I really do not want to give too much away about this film because the less you know about it the better, but the film is generally about a group of friends that get stuck on a boat and some horrible things start to take place. Melissa George, who plays the main character Jess, does an awesome job throughout the film but the supporting cast is pretty good as well. If you have ever seen Los Cronocrimenes (Timecrimes), and loved it, then you will enjoy Triangle. This film will leave you scratching your head but it is well worth it.

  • Is it Okay to Check Email/SMS at the Dinner Table?

    There’s an interesting article/video on Times’ blog that goes over a few dos and don’ts of the digital world, and one question that both reporters discuss if it is okay to check your email/sms at the dinner table? I, personally, never check my phone when I’m eating dinner with my family, personal friends, or on a date. But I guess it all depends on what type of dinner it is. If it’s a nice dinner out with someone then I won’t check my phone at the table, but if I’m with a group of friends, and we are drinking and having good time, then I would. I get a bit upset when I’m having dinner with someone, alone, and they check their phone. I don’t flip out on them but it does make me look at them bit different.

    I watched one of my favorite films last night, Fight Club, and this movie still has it going on. Brad Pitt was the man back then in the 90’s. I know I overuse this phrase but Fight Club is a film of its generation. Everything was going well back in the 90’s. I look back at those days and wish that fear wasn’t running our lives now.
