Mr Brooks

Posted by Greg in May 11th 2008  

As well as watching Waitress last night I also had the chance to watch Mr Brooks which proved to be a dark and sober movie that was also proved to be more than a little fascinating.

Without wanting to reveal too much Earl Brooks (Kevin Costner) is an upstanding business man and family man recently honoured as The Chamber of Commerce’s Man of the Year. He also has a secret double life as a serial killer with his alter ego Marshall (William Hurt). Earl had refrained from killing for two years but thanks to the urging of Marshall he murders a voyeuristic couple in their home.

Despite his usual meticulous modus operandi there was a witness, “Mr Smith” who photographed Earl and the murder but instead of turning him in to the authorities he wants to come with Earl on the next murder.

There are also other plots in the movie. For one there is Portland Detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore) who is the lead detective in the serial killer case (The Thumb Print Killer) who has her own complications. And then there is Earl’s daughter who mysteriously returns home suddenly from college before revealing she is pregnant before the police arrive to question her about a murder back at her college.

I am not a fan of Kevin Costner as he usually in a fluffy, light kind of movie but in this case it was suitably dark, brutal and interesting. I recommend it but not for the squeamish.

Addicted to a phone

Posted by Greg in May 11th 2008  

I thought it interesting to read that Blackberry users are experiencing some of the same symptoms that crack users exibit when their blackberry is withdrawn. More than once i have pondered some mobile phone users being addicted to their phones. Me, not much danger of that as i have enough trouble as i have enough trouble remembering to take my mobile anywhere with me.

Vacances en France

Posted by Greg in May 11th 2008  

I was thinking the other days about holidays in Europe and as well as seeing the UK, there is a lot of places that I would like to see, especially France. I was surfing around looking at French Hotels including Paris Hôtels and there was some delightful looking places. I don’t know I could ever afford some of the really fancy ones but its nice to dream of a beautiful luxury holiday

Outside of Paris, it was interesting reading about driving holidays and in France they have a well-developed highway system. Most of the freeway style roads are toll roads with charges either for entry or exit or in some cases both entry and exit. In such cases it becomes apparent that loosing your entry ticket is bad as you get charged for the entire distance.

Getting off the main road is not such a bad idea and like anywhere there is the full range of roads from single lane country roads to major highways. As most towns and cities predate automobiles, in the major centres it can be more sensible to just park and use public transport.

Then I started looking at other places, I looked at places like Marseilles and some of the Marseilles Hôtels also looked great. Its interesting looking around and I looked at other places too. I am not rightly sure where they are located but some of the other places like Toulouse Hôtels and Bordeaux Hôtels looked great.

One day, when I have some money it looks like a great holiday. Oh and I must remember France drives on the right.

Waitress

Posted by Greg in May 10th 2008  

So tonight i decided on watching a movie and so i settled for somr reason on a romantic comedy by the name of Waitress. Why I am not sure, its kind of sad sitting at home alone on a saturday night. Reminds me vaguely of a Cat Stevens song now that i think about it sitting at home Another Saturday Night.

It is a strange movie and one that i am almost at a loss to describe. The central character is Jenna (Kerri Russell) a waitress who makes great pies. She is married to Earl, a man lacking any kind of redeeming feature and Jenna dreams of winning a pie making contest that will give her enough money to leave her husband. One day she discovers that she is pregnant which leaves her less than overjoyed. Visiting her doctor she meets the new Junior Doctor in the practice Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion) and before long romantic sparks fly between them.

There is also a supporting cast of screwball characters that aren’t just odd, they are so odd some of them almost cause pain in their oddness as they annoyed the crap out of me.

Its worth a look but you may find half the cast annoys you its not my fault. OK.

A plan, kinda

Posted by Greg in May 9th 2008  

Today is my rostered day off although I feel less than comfortable taking it due to the amount of work I have. No real plans although I think I might try and take an autumn related photo in some form which I think might be a wander around the botanical gardens although it does look kind of gloomy.

Tomorrow I do actually have a plan! Not much of a plan but a plan never the less. In my never ending pursuit of material for my
