ISF Movies: Update
The movie watching is going well, I can't believe I had never heard of so many of these movies.
I really enjoyed 12 Monkeys, Vanilla Sky and GATTACA. I have to actually consider myself a Tom Cruise fan now -- hard to believe the words would ever come forth from my fingertips.
Brazil, Metropolis and Equilibrium have been my least favorite -- but Brazil did have some good phrases to think about -- like "security breeds confidence" -- or something to that effect.

Vanilla Sky
I've found a couple hours each week to watch movies again, I love movies.
Well I never thought I'd intentionally watch a Tom Cruise movie again, but someone recommended it.
I was pleasantly surprised -- while it wasn't extremely deep and symbolic -- ala "The Matrix", it did have a clever plot, I especially enjoyed the reoccurring reference to the frozen dog.
It also reminded me of "Jacob's Ladder" -- which I also enjoyed but will have to watch again as it has been many many years since I watched.
