DrPeppar, The Mad Scientist

Grönland

Grönland är fascinerande, otroliga vikar och, berg täckta av snö och is och sedan plötsligt så tar det slut och övergår till ett ishav.

Sitter här på planet till USA och funderar och filosoferar. Har precis sett 3:10 to Yuma och sedan hängt vid buffén. Mmmm färsk capuchino i luften är ganska trevligt.

Hittade en tysk resetidning som i princip bara handlade om Maldiverna. Vilka ställen det finns men det är synd att de alla ligger så långt från Sverige och inte är så barnvänliga. Får väl vänta en 15 år och se om barnen vill följa med då och bara slappa i 2-3 veckor i ett hus på pålar ute i vattnet.

Det är en stund kvar till Chicago och sedan är det tyvärr ytterligare 4.5 timmar till San Francisco följt av ca 45 minuter biltur. En lång tur blir det (tyvärr). Syn att man skall behöva åka till samma ställe hela tiden. Kom dock en liten fördel idag och det var att man kan adressen till hotellet utantill vilket är praktiskt när man skall checka in och måste tala om var man skall bo (vilket man måste göra, inget för paranoida).

I morgon skall jag upp till San Francisco med Drugge och Philip. Lite shopping till familjen, behöver jag något? Nja nä tror inte det. Lite kläder till barnen (Gymboree så klart och Keen skor på Rei och eventuellt Stride Right på Nordströms). Bäst att sätta kreditkortet på laddning.

Och ishavet bara fortsätter utanför fönstret....

Förresten, vet ni om att jag är bra på att ställa hårda krav på mig själv? Nääää med ironi i rösten, kanske ni säger. Jo det är sant och tyvärr inte så bra. Det är farligt att ställa höga krav på sig själv när man jobbar på Google eftersom att jobba här bygger till väldigt stor del på att man själv sätter mål och jobbar för att uppnå dessa. Detta kvartal har jag bland annat ett mål att jobba mindre och jag har faktiskt försökt komma hem tidigare på dagarna men det är svårt att varva ner och bara koppla om. - Men du har ju familjen, hör jag er tänka. Visst är det så men jag behöver någon riktig hobby att längta till. Mmmm får fundera mer på det!

Nu är det 4h20min kvar till Chicago.

Jag behöver träna mer! Fetto! De har ett bra litet gym på hotell Avante där jag skall bo och jag har lyckats använda det förr så jag får vl inte vara sämre och inte använda det på denna resa. 5 nätter blir det i USA och jag är hemma vid 11 på fredag igen.

Maten på flyget var helt otroligt god idag.
- Liten grönsallad
- Räkceviche med guacamole och lime och till huvudrätt
- Köttbullar med potatismos och lingonsylt
- Pont-I'Évêqueost och västerbottenost med fikonkaka
- Hjortron cheesecake med färsk fruktsallad

Visst köttbullar kanske inte låter som det lyxigaste men det var väldigt gott. Andra val var rödspätta, vegetarisk lasagne och kyckling. Köttbullarna kändes helt rätt.

Vilken massa sömntutor det är runtomkring mig. Man skall ju hålla sig vaken när man åker till USA och sova på vägen tillbaka!

Finns det inga fartyg här ute i ishavet? Tydligen inte...

Coolt, nu kommer det berg igen, Alaska här kommer vi!

Man kanske skulle titta på lite Painkiller Jane! CU!

Painkiller Jane var ju jättebra. Får ta och se ett avsnitt till. NU!

Andra avsnittet var inte lika bra. Känns som om det kommer att bli enformigt.

Min resgranne sover och har väldigt dålig andedräkt. Dags att ta en promenad och kanske äta en frukt! 2.40 kvar på resan.

Och nu är jag tillbak efter en liten promenad och lite frukt!

Och några timmar senare så har jag fått i mig 1 ägg och räksmörgås och en rostbiffsmörgås ocu nu är det mindre än en timme kvar.

Och nu är det 35 min kvar säger mr. captain!

Humpti dumpti....

Nu sitter jag i loungen och väntar på nästa flyg som går 66 minuter. Boarding om 26. Jag är less på att resa!

SAVE

Saw 4

Den var mig en rörig film! Så många olika personer att hålla reda på så man blev helt snurrig!

MEN har man sett de tre tidigare filmerna så måste man ju se denna också!

God natt!

Mickey Blue Eyes

Såg just Mickey Blue Eyes med Hugh Grant. Mycket rolig film som jag nu sett för 4:e gången (tror jag). Man blir riktigt glad av att se den och jag tänkte fixa ihop ett Hugh Grant bibliotek för han har gjort flera man blir glad filmer. Såg fyra bröllop och en begravning på planet till USA. Ahh, den kan man se hur många gånger som helst.

Förresten, jag fyller år imorgon! Så det så!

Filmer på YouTube

Här är lite filmer som jag lade upp idag på YouTube.

Först har vi Oliver som ler i snön..

följt av Oliver som går lite på gatan!

Sedan kommer en liten monolog om min vecka. Jaja. Jag skall inte satsa på någon film karriär! Jag vet!

Och sist har Tovah som sjunger en sång åt alla där ute! MEN nu när den kom upp så visar det sig att den är helt trasig. QuickMovie finessen på YouTube är ju bra i teorin men det behövs mer kontroll över hur det låter etc. Plus att det tar evigheter att få sina filmer konverterade tyvärr.

Smallpox 2002

Såg just Smallpox 2002. Det är en doku-drama om vad som skulle kunna hända om en attakc med smittkoppor skedde i New York. En man smittar ett antal människor i New York och det sprids till hela jorden. Pandemin håller på i 2 år och 60 miljoner människor dör i en sjukdom som redan varit utrotad en gång. Filmen var skrämmande bra gjord av BBC. Som en riktig dokumentär som tittar tillbaka på vad som hänt och första 45 minuterna (innan det eskalerade totalt) frågade vi oss flera gånger hur vi kunnat missa detta. Nu när jag ser efter i albumet så var vi i New York när det var som värst och det var undantagstillstånd i USA!

jaja, skrämmande var den i alla fall. Se den om ni vill få er en tankeställare.

The Holiday

Såg just The Holiday. Vilken liten gullig film. Jag skall sluta titta på otäcka filmer och bara titta på gullepluttfilmer. Man blir mycket gladare då.

Sov knappt 5 timmar i natt eftersom Oliven och frun väckte mig flera gånger så jag var ganska trött på morgonen men jag hade ändå en mycket trevlig dag. Känner mig mycket peppad just nu och har fått en hel massa gjort!

Tjillevipp!

Evelyn

Såg just filmen Evelyn. Vilket underbar film som handlar om en ensam pappa (Peirce Brosnan) som kämpar för att få tillbaka sina barn som staten har tagit ifrån honom eftersom han inte ensam kan uppfostra dem efter att frun övergav familjen och åkte till Australien. Den var delvis lite seg men i stort mycket bra. Det är en sann historia som fick påföljden att lagar ändrades i Irland, där filmen utspelar sig på 50-talet. Underbar film!!!!

Igår såg jag en ganska rejäl kontrast till Evelyn, nämligen: "Saw 3. Den var en direkt fortsättning på Saw 2 och är sjuk äcklig film som handlar diverse lekar med teknik. Inte sex som ni kanske associerar till direkt utan bara lekar med människor som blir instängda och måste ta sig ut innan t.ex. deras bröstkorg slits sönder eller fryser ihjäl eftersom vatten sprutas tunt på dem i ett frysrum.

I övrigt så har jag suttit och jobbat hemma hela dagen idag med lite av varje och lite prototypande. Sitter och testar lite XMPP saker och vad man kan göra med det.

På kvällen tittade jag på MacWorld keynoten där Steve Jobs presenterade lite nya saker. Inga egentliga datornyheter (iTV i max 720p (booring) och en ny basstation (inte så revolutionerande). Dock så visade han även upp iPhone som är en ganska cool ny pryl som jag självklart vill ha NU. Det är en ny telefon+ipod+pda från Apple (som för övrigt heter Apple Inc numer). iPhone kommer att finnas tillgänglig i USA från juni 2007 och EU Q4 2007. Bläää.

Lekte lite med GarageBand på kvällen. En gammal pryl men ganska skoj. Det är Apples verktyg för att göra egen musik.

Sov gott och låt inte sängkrypen bita er! Och, monstermamman, krya på dig!!!!

The Notebook

Såg just klart "The Notebook" (Nick Cassavetes) som vi började på igår. Vilket underbar film. Så vill jag också dö med min fru när det blir dags. Denna film är det bästa drama som gjorts de senaste 1000 åren. Helt underbar film. Se den (innan det är för sent)! Boken är skriven Nicholas Sparks om du hellre vill läsa den (jag har inte läst den så jag vet inte hur den är).

Jag kom på varför jag vaknade i morse och inte kunde somna om. Jag har ångest för vad jag skall köpa för aktier. Suck! Skall man köpa högriskare i Kina eller kanske den mer stillsamma Avanza Zero som för övrigt inte har några avgifter alls (vad tjänar Avanza på att ha den egentligen?)? Var placerar ni era besparingar?

Gullig

"Six Days, Seven Nights" (Ivan Reitman)

är en gullig film. Inte så bra som jag mindes den men sevärd i alla fall. Jag dock sugen på att se "Notting Hill" (Roger Michell) så det kanske blir den i morgon !

Chocolat

NU har vi sett klart "Chocolat" (Lasse Hallström). Vilken underbar film. Man blir alldeles på gott humör av att se sådana filmer. I morgon kanske det blir Delikatessen?

A Good Year

"A Good Year" (Ridley Scott)

fick avluta en underbar dag. Filmen handlar som en aktiemäklare som ärver sitt barndoms sommarställe i Frankrike, träffar kärleken och ger upp sitt gamla liv för att göra vin. UNDERBAR film. Jag har alltid drömt om att lämna det hektiska livet bakom sig och leva i sus och dus på något varmt ställe utan Internets stress. Det är bara några problem med det, jag måste ju ha ganska mycket pengar och jag vet inte om jag skulle överleva utan Internets stress. Fast jag har ju en del pengar redan och stessen kan jag kanske leva utan? Vad tror ni? Man kanske skulle hyra ett "chateau" i Frankrike och bli uppassad där i två veckor? Hmm kanske det....

Karaoke

Karaoke är en hemsk konst! OCH vi sjunger det NU :) Hemskt hemskt sätt att avsluta året på :) Det är en billig karaokemaskin som ser ut som en mikrofon som man kopplar in direkt till TVn :) Vi fick den av Jonathan och Jakob för flera år sedan.

"The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring är en bra film som man kan titta på ett tag. Ett ganska långt tag faktiskt. Så långt att vi bara orkar se halva idag :) Halva betyder drygt 1.5 timmar och de följande två filmerna är ännu längre!!

Nu kämpar damerna med att få igång karaoke maskinen igen :)

Exorcisten The Beginning

Såg just prequelen till Exorcisten och det var länge sedan jag såg en film som var genuint skrämmande. Mycket bra film som rekommenderas varmt till alla som vill se en skräckis.

Se den eller åk pulka! Eller både och!! Eller ingeting alls!!! Ähhhh

Shall we dance

Helt underbar film att se med sin respektive! Se den! Se den NU! Underbar!!!!

Nu måste jag gå och "ta hand om" frun ;)

Cold Mountain

Såg just Cold Mountain med min underbara fru. DET var en film. En mycket bra film!!! Rekommderas mycket varmt!

Butterfly Effect

I saw a very good movie yesterday, The Butterfly Effect. Sci-fi, drama about the effects of changing your past. Very good indeed!

The Last Samurai

I just saw The Last Samurai. VERY good movie. Makes you think a bit and also makes want to go out and read everything about what really happened.

Adaptation

Want to see something different. Watch Adaptation! It is one strange movie.

The movie is written by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman (and they are really a central part of the movie as well). Here is a tidbit from IMDB about Donald:

"On February 11, 2003, "Donald Kaufman" was nominated for a real-life Academy Award, along with the real Charlie Kaufman, for the screenplay of Adaptation (2002). This is the first time in Oscar history that a nomination has been bestowed upon a fictional character."

Radio

I just saw a really great movie called Radio. It is about a mentally handicapped boy and how he affects everybody around him. He starts out as a extremely shy boy and the town coach helps into the community. It is the kind of movie that makes you think about your own attitude to various things. The detail that the story is true doesn't make it worse. If you haven't seen this movie, watch it!!

Battlestar Galactica 2003

I just saw the two movies in the mini-series Battlestar Galactica 2003. It is a remake of the original series from 1978 done by the SciFi channel.

If you like SciFi then you are going to LOVE this one. I enjoyed it very much. It had both the action, the tech-level and it had a story.

See it!

Equilibrium

I just saw Equilibrium. One of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. Reminded me very much of Matrix, but a Matrix done right, a Matrix with an ending. See it!!

San Francisco

On Tuesday I am leaving for San Francisco. I will be attending the Multimedia 2003 conference in San Francisco, or actually the conference is in Berkeley but the restaurants are better in San Francisco and it only takes 15 minutes to get there with the Bart. I will be gone until November 10.

Monday and Tuesday I will spend in Boden with the Systemteknik department. The main issue is obviously how to handle the problem of to few students.

November 18-21 I had planned to attend the Microsoft Research Academic Days: Security in Distributed Systems but I figured it will take to much time. Microsoft would actually pay for the trip and the housing. Quite generous of them, right? The topic wasn't perfectly right for me though.

Tomorrow is the exam in SMD151. 110 students and the following exams I have to correct. Fun fun fun. That will have to wait until I get back from the States.

With all the other short trips planned for November, if I had attended the Microsoft Research thing then I would have had 6 working days in Luleå during November!

Finished reading Grisham's latest, The King of Torts yesterday. A VERY good book which I recommend to everybody. I continued with Clancy's latest, The Teeth of the Tiger. Not much happening yet but it is a Clancy.

The snow has hit Luleå. It is white outside. White is nice but unfortunately I cannot ride my bike during the winter :-( I need my training or else I will get fat as a pig and totally restless. Today I went for a fast walk. It was only 35 minutes but when I got back I felt really pepped up. What a difference some exercise can do. I need more endorphins, what a great drug it is.

During last weekend I switched over to using my fiber instead of my ADSL and during the day it works splendidly but during the evening (between 16.00 and 24.00) and totally flakes out with high delay. It is still usable but rather bad. Throughput is OK but you get very high delay getting into Tele2's core network. Support say that they have ordered new hardware but hasn't given me any dates on when the problem will be fixed. When the network is not loaded I get over 10Mbps between my home and the university. Hmm, I just checked and tonight it seems OK. Might they have upgraded today or is it not used as heavily this evening? We will see... Besides the longer delay in the network it works very good. Stable and good. Hopefully the local peering will get set up during the winter and then we will get real banded out to the rest of the world by going via SUNET (what I cannot do that? ;-) I don't know if I need that though. Tele2's world Internet access seems rather good. Anyhow the whole deal is much cheaper than my Telia company ADSL.

No, now I have to get my attention back to the movie, Ghost of Mars.

A long quiet week

It has been a long quiet week on this Blog. I haven't been able to find myself in writing mood, it just hasn't felt right.

Tomorrow I am meeting with Jerker to discuss what I hopefully will feel after the meeting is OUR joint plans for the Media Technology division. As I wrote before I have gotten the feeling that he has totally put me aside and he feels that it is his responsibility to solve this, not mine. Also, it is now clear that he is leaving as prefect as soon as possible to attack the next step on his ladder as dean of the technical faculty. One possible candidate is Thomas, the current pro-prefect for Systemteknik and head of the control group division. I am a bit divided in how I feel about if Thomas will be good on that position or not. He is a very listening person while at the same time he can be very black and white. He is unfortunately not very pragmatic, very much the same way as the previous prefect, Bengt. Anyhow, the meeting with Jerker has been on my mind all weekend unfortunately.

During the week I have had the honour of attending another part of my management course and I had a very good interview with Sören. One conclusion is (it comes back over and over again) that I shouldn't be afraid of conflicts, both in positive and negative meaning.

Tuesday evening our 18-group (the management course participants) plus the PMI coaches were all invited to Britta's huge house. It is an old transformer building build about 100 years ago. It is three stories high and the top floor is just one large room with over 5 meters in ceiling height and the room is over 100 m². This was one of the most beautiful houses I have ever seen!! I have tons of photos but I haven't had the will to put them online yet. The party was very nice indeed even if the not the whole group came. It was also Sören's 41:st birthday. Congratulations my friend!! Freddie was there in spirit and I really missed him not being there. He had been part of all our earlier sessions and it felt wrong when he wasn't there.

This Sunday I spent almost entirely with Tovah. We played two Mulle Meck games, building houses and cars and the latter was of the two my favorite. A bit to advanced for Tovah to play on her own but I enjoyed it and Tovah enjoyed being there with me :-) We also went for a magic story time at the Norrbotten's Museum. 45 minutes of interactive store telling and Tovah got to play one of the main leads. I think she thought it was a bit scary to be up there because she didn't really understand what she was supposed to do. Bruno, the magician was very good and entertaining for both young and old.

By the way, we have cancelled our winter vacation to the Phi-Phi islands because we thought it was to expensive. We will take a cheaper trip during the winter instead. Perhaps Madeira again? I really enjoyed it there. Or perhaps just a cheap trip to the Canary islands?! We'll see....

Yesterday I played with setting up a new router for my Tele2 connection with automatic Tele2 login, firewall, NAT gateway, dynamic DNS etc. etc. It took some time to learn everything but I now have a fully working gateway and during the week I will migrate some of the computers to test how it works "in production". There is nothing wrong with the bandwidth (about 10Mbps down and 8-9 Mbps up towards LTU).

I also found a new great gadget blog, Gizmodo (yes I am a gadget maniac even though it is not as important to me anymore).

It feels good to write again, I don't know why I stop when I feel down. It is just the same with my physical training. As soon as I feel infirm I stop training, but I know that if I train I will feel better. I just have to push myself harder. This weekend I have cycled about 20 Km in two days which at least something but way to little for me to get that good being feeling about myself.

I saw the Hulk earlier this week and it was very good actually, at least the second part. Also finished 24 season 2 last week and I am really looking forward to season 3 which starts in two weeks in the US. Haven't decided yet if I want to wait until the whole series has been aired and then watch it in condensed form (as I did with series 2) or see each episode directly as they "leak" out on the net. The one that lives will see :-) I highly recommend this to anybody that enjoys action movies. During the whole season 2 I only felt one episode being "series boring" and that is a very good grade coming from me regarding a TV series!!

Book wise I have finished the trilogy about Arn, the Temple Knight and I am now in the middle of the fourth book in that series, the Arn Heritage. I enjoyed the three first books very much but the fourth feels from time to time more like a history facts book than a novel.

Well, it is time for another night in bed with the lovely wife. Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite!

Hurghada, Egypt

I just finished putting captions on my Hurghada photos. Puuh. Hard work for a soft man.

Anyhow, during the afternoon the family went to the recycle market but we didn't find anything worth anything and it was a bit cold and windy so we cycled directly home again. I must admit that I for some strange reason felt really agitated around lunch. I get like that from time to time. :-(

Talking about lunch, today's lunch was a vegetarian potato and cauliflower soup/stew with bread sticks. My knee still hasn't healed. The evening we spent watching both episodes of "Virus i paradiset" and now it is time to go to bed.

Tomorrow, the chimney sweeper is coming. Between 07.30 and 09.30.

Gültzau

During the afternoon we took a bike ride to Gültzaudden and looked at the art in the wood. Though I and Tovah ended up looking more for cans, which we found 10.50 SEK worth. After a nice walk we took a quick drinking pause and continued to Norrbottens Museum to look at the Hideaki Sasaki installation. Here is a movie of it in action. We only got 15 minutes at the museum after which we played and looked at the art in the museum garden.

After a while in the museum garden we headed toward Kvantum in the rain and shopped. We were only going to buy some milk but as always ended up with tons of stuff. At home I made bread sticks and they were much better this time than the last.

I also added a few more scripts to my gallery. One for getting a random photo from the gallery. It can be seen on top of this page. Just reload to see another. Also added Top 10 viewed and Recently changed. The two latter will be added and integrated later.

I watched "Heist" and entered some captions for my Hurghada photos (not public yet).

Finding Nemo and Skruttibangbang

Pixar has done it again. Finding Nemo is great for all members of a "normal" family. I, Johanna and Tovah all enjoyed it. Tovah's comment right after the end was "again again".

Right now we are watching a really retro TV show, Doctor Snuggles and I just realized where I had gotten the word "Skruttibangbang" from. It is the name of the Snuggles' rocket. What is so special with that name? That is what I have called Johanna for the last 12.5 years but I haven't seen the TV show for at least 20 years.

Go'night

It feels like I have been cleaning ALL DAY, but I haven't. The house is now polished and shining clean. Woohooo. I applied the 15/15 rule when doing the cleaning which helped a lot, i.e. 15 minutes cleaning and 15 minutes doing fun stuff. It comes from The FlyLady. If I would have been a real FlyBaby, I would only have had to clean for 15 minutes in total, but as I am not I cleaned actively for about 2 hours. It is really nice when it is done though!!

Only 1 day, 10 hours, and 2 minutes left now!! I cannot hardly wait. J called today and said that yesterday she missed me so much so she already started packing. Nice! I liked that.

After all the cleaning I was beat and ate some food (the very last of my stew. I actually ate it twice today, both for lunch and for dinner. But now it is gone.... Watched Agent Cody Banks. Rather entertaining movie. I liked it, and that is good as J is going to force me to watch it again with her :-) Grade: 4 out of 5 pepper corns.

During my cleaning pauses I read some more in the first of my nanotechnology books. Very interesting indeed. Highly recommended reading.

Listened some more on Per Gessle's new album and I must say that you get tired of it quite quickly. It is not really Gyllene Tider quality. Downloaded some U2 and some more U96 during the day as well!

It is now 22:20 and I heading for bed!!

Gameoholic

In August 2002 I decided that I had wasted enough time on computer games (quite a lot of time actually over the years). I was a real gameoholic that just HAD to play computers games. Anyhow, I have spent some time on Quake (which nerd hasn't?) and today I found a movie of some guys playing through all episodes in 12 minutes. I am guessing they are cheating a bit and the final movie is cut together from several tries, but it is still impressive to see them do it. The movie is 165 MB and behind my slow up-link, but download it you really really like to. Here: Galen snubbe spelar igenom Quake 1 på 12 minuter.avi.

Grabben i graven bredvid

Just watched the most lovely Swedish drama/comedy called "Grabben i graven bredvid" about librarian Desirée and her new love, Benny. Desire is ashamed about Benny as he is a farmer. The movie is filmed in Luleå which makes it even more interesting. I loved it.

From Simpsons

Lou: I went to the McDonalds over in Shelbyville the other day.
Chief Wiggum: The Mc-what?
Lou: Yeah, I never heard of it either but they say they have over 2000
locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Hmm...Must've sprung up over night.
Lou: But you know, its the little differences.
Chief Wiggum: Example?
Lou: Well at a McDonalds you can get a Krusty Burger with cheese. But they
don't call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Get out! What do they call it?
Lou: A quarter pounder with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Quarter pounder with cheese...well I can see the cheese but?
Hey, do they have Krusty's Partially Gelatinated Gum-Based beverages?
Lou: Yeah, they call them 'shakes.'
Eddie: *Pfft* 'Shakes.' You don't know what you're gettin'.

:-) Thanks Jalle.

The Tuxedo

Yesterday I complained about a movie. Today I am going to you an recommendation, The Tuxedo. Here Jackie Chan is at his best with a twist. Want to see a a good and fun action movie. See The Tuxedo.

Trailers

I am so disappointed in movies sometimes. You watch the trailer and think, Hey cool, I HAVE to see this movie and then when you watch it you get soooooo disappointed. One such movie is Joy Ride. They showed all the cool parts in the trailer and then the movie sucked big time. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.

Coupling

I just found out that my all time favorite TV show Coupling is being remade in the US by NBC. The original is from UK and one might wonder why they just cannot air the original instead of remaking it. NBC has so far released a 4.28 min. "trailer" and all the characters are almost identical and so is the typical bar where they always hang out. It looked very good though, but still it isn't the original. It never is, is it?

Jackass the Movie

I just saw Jackass the Movie and these guys are really crazy. It is really amazing what these guys are prepared to go through. E.g. getting shot with a beanbag from a real shotgun, electrifying their balls, golf car stock racing, and much much more. If you enjoy people getting hurt then see this movie.

Four Weddings and a funeral

I just noticed that tomorrow evening SVT1 (TV channel ;-) is showing Four Weddings and a Funeral. This is one of my all time favorite movies. If you haven't seen it, see it. I you have seen it, see it again!

Matrix Reloaded real trailer

The real trailer for Matrix Reloaded has just been released. It actually shows some details about the story! Grab it while it's hot!

Finis Origine Pendet

Finis Origine Pendet, loosely translated means "The end depends upon the beginning." The quotation is taken out of context from the Astronomica of Manilius. This is the great academic motto of the Phillips Exeter Academy (real) as well as the St. Benedict's Academy for Boys (Hollywood fiction) in the movie The Emperor's Club. It is a great story about a teachers that strongly believes in good and right and put his strongest hopes onto a young son of a senator whom unfortunately disappoints his teacher by cheating. Being a university teacher myself, I feel strong sympathies for the situation presented in the movie and it really go to me. 10 stars to the movie The Emperor's Club.

Flying Cat

Got this fun movie from Serge! Enjoy!

Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun, yeah fun Movie! Interstate 60

I just saw a really funny movie! See it or miss something really fun :-) Interstate 60 with James Marsden, Gary Oldman, Michael J Fox, Chris Cooper and many more! Just see it!

Movie: 40 days and 40 nights

Ever wanted to know what it feels like not having any sex (and I mean ANY ;-) for 40 days and 40 nights? Then see this movie:

Movie tip: Catch me if you can?

Earlier this week I saw the movie Catch me if you can. Highly recommended. I gave it a 9/10 on IMDB.

From IMDB:
"An FBI agent tracks down and catches a young con artist who successfully impersonated an airline pilot, doctor, assistant attorney general and history professor, cashing more than $2.5 million in fraudulent checks in 26 countries."

Have you seen any good movies lately? Tell me by commenting this blog note.
