Movie Recommendation for the Week!

Everyone needs to check out...

Lovely Bones!!!!

This movie has an interesting concept. The main character is killed and she observes her murderer and her family from Heaven. She helps her family solve the mystery of her murder. It sort of reminds me of that Robin Williams movie when he dies and tries to find his wife who committed suicide and wants to bring her back to Heaven. This movie is based on a book by Alice Sebold.

It has a middle of the road rating of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. But, I think its worth a look.

Losing is Everything

What a lot of people do not realize is that starting a business or becoming a successful business person is about learning to fail over and over again before you succeed.

Here is a great article about how "Why Losing a B-school Competition is Better than Winning?" -huh? Yeah, it sounds counter-intuitive but try to keep an open mind about it.

Spotify- iTunes Killer?

Maybe?...but this is an interesting application that is not yet available in the U.S.

Here is an excerpt of its capabilities:

"Expected to launch stateside sometime in 2010, Spotify represents the next revolution in mobile music. Instead of purchasing and owning individual tracks, this subscription-based service lets you stream music to your mobile device. And unlike similar mobile music apps, Spotify lets you pick exact songs from a catalog of millions which instantly sync to your mobile device. It even works without an Internet connection. Spotify goes where iTunes has not, and makes music more of a web-based experience than something requiring disk space on physical hard drives. In other words, Spotify represents the future of mobile music and a threat which Apple will soon need to address."

"We Don't Cut Prisons. Why do We Cut Education?"

This is the case in California right now with their education system which will have to bear a 500 million dollar cut to education funding. Some students are struggling to even find classes for their major.

How do you feel about this? California is not the only state cutting funding to education programs that will potentially eliminate certain majors altogether.

Movie Recommendation for the Week!

Ok. The movie to see this upcoming Friday is....

Brothers.

This might just be me but I think Toby Maguire trying to be serious is kinda funny. The fact that his real life friend, Jake Gyllenhaal, is playing the role of the friend who sleeps with his wife is funny.

The premise of the story is based off a foreign made film. Toby Maguire goes off to fight and is presumed dead. Jake swoops in and sleeps with his wife. Unfortunately, Toby shows up and starts to rage once he finds out Jake has been sleeping with his wife.

There is no consensus on the film yet, but so far it has a 60% rating on RottenTomatoes. This could change in either direction before Friday. So in the meantime, you can monitor this on the site.

This movie could be runner up for 2nd biggest comedy of the year, next to 2012.
