    Default The Grey: Weird. Dark. Beautiful

    My wife and I watched The Grey, starring Liam Neeson.

    Bottom line: Thought-provoking; at times equal parts beautiful and terrible. The movie is deep - not an action-flick, but more a story about Love, God, relationships. The end is unexpected; neither 'happy' nor 'sad'.

    Summary: A group of guys crash in the alaskan winter. One man (Liam's character) leads the group to salvation. I know I've seen parallels in literature, but can't quite come up with anything this movie portrays.

    Over all, its in my top 20 favourite movies, for a couple reason. I wont go into those reasons because it'd spoil a few things for those who haven't seen it
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    I thought about going to see that last night but the wife unit backed out.
    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    That one looks really good.

    Of course, the animal rights dingbats had to chime in on how wolves were not really mean, nasty killers. Geez. Do they really think people believe everything in movies is reality? Seriously - a Green Lantern is not going to come out of space, put a ring on Ryan Reynolds' finger and turn him into the first human Green Lantern.

    Movies are entertainment. Pigs don't really talk either. Only in Charlotte's Web.

    Well, we alll know that wolves really lay around and eat tofu all day. They wash it down with soy milk.

    No wonder they were almost extinct.
