Conspiracy Theories

I was chatting with a good friend the other day about conspiracy theories. Specifically the moon landings. Lately during midnight dog walks when the sky is clear I stare at the moon and wonder why we’ve never been back. Technology has certainly advanced tremendously in 30 years. Which naturally leads one to wonder if it ever happened right? Am I alone in this?

Do you think we ever actually landed on the moon?

How about these other famous conspiracy theories…

» The US government was behind 9/11
» JFK wasn’t shot by Lee Harvey Oswald
» Princess Diana was murdered
» Extraterrestrials are being hidden by our government
» Church’s fried chicken sterilizes black men
» Tupac, Biggie Smalls, and Elvis all live on an island somewhere

Movie Reviews

JFK – Really late watching this release, but it was worth the 3-hour investment. Oliver Stone, I’m convinced. There was at least one more shooter.

Seabiscuit – No complaints here. Solid. Almost makes me want to watch some horse races. Almost.

Total Recall – Really, really late watching this release, but it wasn’t worth the 2-hour investment. This one was a downer.

16 Blocks – Although Mos Def’s voice got to me, this was a pretty decent flick. Exceeded all expectations.

Gone Baby Gone – Best movie I’ve seen this year, and on the short list for the last couple years. Casey Affleck is a stud, and Ben needs to stay in the directors chair.

The Last Mimzy – Thought Tanner would like it, and he did. But I thought it was a little slow, and the ending could have been much better. Felt like a contemporary E.T.

Juno – Holy cow this was a fun movie. Ellen Page was crazy good, and Jason Bateman was a bad, bad man. I’ll be owning this movie soon.

Unforgiven – It was OK. 1992 must have sucked for movies. IMHO Clint Eastwood is so much better as a director, but he does still get it done as an actor.

Darjeeling Limited – This one might have to marinate for a few more days, but I just liked it alot. I didn’t love it. Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are still my favorite Wes Anderson films.

Next in the Que: Talk To Me, No Country For Old Men, Dan In Real Life.
