Apparently bloglet.com is having problems again. I miss my subscriptions to various weblogs. And this means other people are not getting my weblog updates either.
Oh well, that's computer life. I'll start checking my subscribed weblogs individually again.
I especially enjoy ladida and Workings of the Mind.

Watching this film offered me some welcome nostalgia for rock n roll and earlier decades. This was mixed with some fascination and horror about the true story of the Pentagon papers. This would be a good film just for a segment of U.S. history. If you lived through that period, you'll enjoy being back there (especially, knowing you survived it.) If you're too young to remember it first hand, the film should offer some fascinating insights into history.
The film is well done, with good suspense throughout. 4 stars because it's not only entertaining, but has information everyone should know.

This is a good, basic thriller. It's funny that we watched it right after The Pentagon Papers, which uses quicksand as a metaphor for the country's Vietnam War involvement.
We watched Quicksand two evenings ago. To be honest, I can't remember a thing about it except that it was a good thriller. Usually films this forgettable go down fast in my ratings. But I do remember it was good entertainment. So I'll still give it 3 stars.

At first this film was interesting just because it's set in modern Japan. The initial scenes of Tokyo, filled with flashing neon lights and fabulous buildings, were fascinating. But the main characters in the film seem to be lost. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be lost in very interesting ways.
For a while, I kept expecting something to happen in the film. Finally my partner and I agreed that it was just too boring. We quit.
My advice is not to start this one.
