I, Robot

I, RobotFuturistic bigotry. I guess it never goes away. Strange movie. I always wonder if we (as the movie watcher) are supposed to ooh, ahhh, and feel awed when one fake character fights another one. Fake, or animated, or computer generated. Whichever it technically is. Lots of that in I, Robot. Pretty decent movie though. We could be heading towards this someday and this kind of thing is possible. Sure, why not? Interesting movie. I'd see it again.

The Full Monty

The Full Monty This takes place in the town of Sheffield, England. It's a bit dark and sad, with the major (steel) industry no longer providing jobs for the people in town. A lot of them are out of work, facing hard times. Some imaginative men, led by one in particular, come up with an idea how to make some money (and for some, save their relationships with their families, and regain self-esteem). It's not your typical hard knocks movie. There are some great (non-tourist) views of England, and those great Brit accents and slang. This movie has some very funny moments despite the depressing theme (unemployment, and the hardships of it). Not to mention some skin; it's not called "the full monty" for nothing.

Any man can be sexy, it doesn't take a Chippendale. Most women know this. Maybe now, some men will too.
