I am supposed to be asleep but I am not. Yes, it is morning to be sleeping, but I am on my last moments on my vacation before the school starts, and I am used to sleep in the morning till at least 9 am. Oh well, I thought why not to write a posting on my blog while I am awake. The point is I do not know what about, so I suppose I will just be rambling along.

I have been watching lots of movies lately. I used to go to the theatres quite a bit before, but I stopped going to it due to “other people’s perspective” that going to movies is a waste of money. How sad to be in hands of others and realize what I did was a waste… is not it? Which is another story for another time for itself, I re-started going to the movies by going to the movie, “The Dark Knight” couple of weeks ago. I so much enjoyed the environment and the movie that I continued watching the recently made and released movies, to name some, I watched, “Mamma Mia”, “Pineapple Express,” “The Mummy…..” “Sisterhood of Traveling Pants,” “Hancock,” “Step Brothers,” “Get Smart,” “Swing Vote” and more.

I have a lot to say about the movies in general, but one clear point for me was the involvement of Farsi, the language that Irani people speak, in the movies. I heard the Farsi in three of the most recent Hollywood released movies, and in two of them the Farsi spoken people were the bad guys while in one of them the Farsi spoken people were good people. In none of the movies Iran was directly said or pointed out while Russia was, for instance. Maybe, I was too sensitive, or may be I captured an interesting point. Now with all the war between Georgia and Russia, and the nuclear problem with Iran, it is interesting to watch what movies tell to ordinary people, and what will be the real out come. Shall wait and see.

Anyhow, taking a huge step out of that “political quick sand”, I, yesterday, watched a very good movie, perhaps one of the bests of the most released ones, written and directed by Woody Allen. Go and watch it if you like movies. The movie is simple and complicated at the same time; it is entertaining while thought stimulating, and it is silly while serious. “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” is a movie worth watching.


The Moon. I liked how white it was on a black spread sheet.
