Watched the movie Disclosure Day. This is a movie I have been looking forward to, due to both Spielberg the producer and the preview which well incited my curiosity. After watching, however, my feeling is mixed...

I particularly liked the sheep's comments on the human God, which reminded me of the below cartoon that I saw many years ago that pictured a cockroaches' version of God, which is as self-centered as the human version and thus, I'm sorry to say, is no sillier than the latter.

Watched The Sheep Detectives, an admirably creative movie "starred" by a group of "bilingual" (human language + sheep language) sheep. It is not only pleasantly amusing, but also wittily philosophical, all thanks to its unique angle from sheep's point of view.

Watched the movie Animal Farm, and was a little bit disappointed. The disappointment mainly came from my liking for the George Orwell's novel Animal Farm on which this movie is based...

With all the theater effects and the focus that my home environment can't match, I hope I will not forget it again. :-)

Watched the Ghibli movie Whisper of the Heart. It turned out to be a movie I had watched before at home, and when a few scenes of definitive memory confirmed that, I was surprised by how little I remembered of the storyline, especially considering how much I enjoyed it this time.

I was always amazed by movies of such category, in which an actor or actress needs to be found that not only resembles a superstar (singer, dancer, boxer, etc) in appearance, but is also able to imitate his or her professional actions to a sufficiently high degree.

Watched the movie Michael. As someone who has never watched any Michael Jackson concert, or any concert at all for that matter, this movie, with its impressive visual and audio effects, might be the closest to the experience I have missed.

Watched the movie Oppenheimer...

Watched Train Dreams yesterday, a movie which I thought few people would come to watch (the amount of advertisements the theater placed before the movie was consistent with that thought, since when I entered a mere 10 minutes later than the scheduled time, the movie was... [1/2]

Watched the movie The Bride!. If there was something, similar to Star Wars Expanded Universe and Star Trek Expanded Universe, that could be called Frankenstein Expanded Universe, this film is certainly a candidate for it, and a good one...

Recently I read a book that is not in my ordinary reading scope but turned out to be absorbing: Why We Die...

As all my long-time readers (if any, on this particular platform) must know, Asimov is one of my favorite writers. In the process of relentless searching for his writings, I recently obtained many issues of Asimov's Science Fiction, and began to read some articles......

Recently I came across a Collector's Edition of the Entertainment Weekly magazine entitled The Ultimate Guide to Star Trek. I read a few pages related to my favorite series, The Next Generation, and saw...

One thing I particularly enjoyed is reading a book while sipping a cup of coffee or tea in a quiet shop, ideally near a large window so the external world that is often in interesting contrast to the internal one the book projects into my mind can be conveniently in view...
