Ray Kurzweil’s three-hour interview that I watched a couple of weeks back. If you’re interested in the future of genetics and technology, you should definitely check out this interview. It helped me better understand some of the things he’s talking about in The Singularity Is Near.

Yes, another college movie about partying and all the fun you’ll have when you’re there. But, is there something more? I would go as far as saying there is. While, for the most part, this is another rehash of the onslaught of college movies that we’ve seen for the past … Continue reading →
Junebug
I am in awe of Amy Adams’ performace in director Phil Morrison’s take on the South. She played the perfect southern girl. She talked a lot (probably making up for more than half the film’s dialogue), but she did it right. Usually, when someone recommends a film to me and … Continue reading →
