Definately Maybe

I didn't like this movie. The whole whose my mother plot was fine, but when it takes 45 minutes to establish its not the first girl which everyone knows anyway it is not worth it.

Wargames:The 25th Anniversary Edition

Wargames begins with two handing a missile launch. One man is unable to turn the key. This propmts NORAD to remove the human element from the process of lanuching missisles. David Lightman is an uninterested high school student with a home computer he uses to among others things, break into school computer to change his grades. While reading a magazine one day he see an ad for new computer games wanting to play them he tries to hack there system. David hacks a system which he thinks is a harmless computer game. The next day he learns his actions set the stage for a possible World War III.

I had not seen this movie for about 15 years. As it did then, David's computer impressed me. I still thought it was totally cool. The huge floppy disks the old school moderm. The way that David felt and reacted after he realized what he had done was very good. He didn't think he was cool. He was scared as anyone would be.

This a great movie. The story is very well paced and does a great job at showing how both David NORAD deal with situation.

MIT student Ben Camebell a top student is recuited by his college professor to join an underground Blackjack team. The four along with the professor travel to Vegas on weekend to count cards. Needing money for medical school Ben enventually joins. As he wins more and money his character changes.

My biggest problem with the movie was I couldn't relate to Ben. Right from the start I wanted him to be caught. You knew he would stop and they he liked the money and power. Even after he did get caught and lost it I felt he deserved it.

The movie did have a nice pace and did draw you in. I thought Ben's MIT friends were great and was glad to see them do well at the end.

It Happend One Night

Elle escapes her father to return to her husband whom her father disaproves. On the bus to New York Elle meets Peter. He agrees to help her get to New York in return for her story.

You know right from beginning these two are meant to fall in the love. But that where the story fall short me. There never a spark. Even when they are getting along you barley see any chemisty.

Not a bad movie, but it takes forever to makes its point.

Alias: The Complete Second Season

The second season Alias was much stronger and tighter then the first. The stories were better and it moved at a good pace.

Book Review: The Last Summer (of you and me) By Ann Brashares

This book is very good. Two sister return to their summer beach house as adults. Where the older sister Riley is a life guard. Alice does a few jobs around the island. They are both joined by life long friend Paul. Romance begins and secrets are revealed.

The ending is predictable, in the this book the fun is getting there.
