The Imitation Game (2014)/ Alan Turing: The Enigma by Andrew Hodges

Image
Alan Turing , the Inventor of what we call nowadays as COMPUTERS; He was a mathematical genius who was prejudged because he was a homosexual and was given hormonal therapy to "cure" his being a homosexual.  Since the therapy was not doing him any good, he committed suicide in 1954. Tsk, tsk, tsk!  Imagine, he broke the German Enigma Ciphers/Cyphers, but he was sentenced because of indecency.   Where is the justice in that? I agree with Benedict Cumberbatch. He should be in banknotes!

Begin Again (2013)

Greenbelt 3 poster Dan:  That’s what I love about music.  All these banalities suddenly turn into beautiful pearls. Premise from imdb:  A chance encounter between a disgraced music-business executive and a young singer-songwriter new to Manhattan turns into a promising collaboration between the two talents. Written and Directed by John Carney Music by Gregg Alexander Stranger passing out tracts on subway:  I thought there was no hope.  I thought there were no answers, but then I found God.  He may not be on our time, but He’s always  on  time. BEGIN AGAIN is a very beautiful movie that almost leaves me speechless.   Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo have good on-screen chemistry and I believe that every actor that supported them in the movie was chosen well by Stephanie DeCourcey and Jeanne McCarthy .   Keira is perfect as Gretta and I could also say that Mark is perfect as Dan. Both the screenplay and exe...

Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit

Image
I love Tom Clancy .  No, we did not have any romantic relationship, but I loved reading his books.  I have tons and tons of literature written by him and some of them with his collaborators.  I haven't had the chance to read e-book versions of his books, but I own hardbound copies and paperback copies.  There was a time that his books were my companions almost everyday of my life and my favorite character that he created IS Jack Ryan . Jack Ryan is like a good online friend.  We've never met each other face to face, but I know a lot about him. I also care for his family and his organization. Sigh.   When I learned from the grapevine that Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was going to be shown on the big screen, I was pretty excited about it.  OK, Tom Clancy is probably in writers' heaven, if there's such a place, so I was glad that one of his children  will be immortalized and/or rebooted. I was not so disappointed compared ...
