CAMELOT FANTASIES

Morning herc. I have no plans for this weekend. I will indeed let my hair down and relax.

I ended up watching a movie last night - 'Flight'. It had a lot of potential but it didn't live up to that. What was worth watching was the plane crash which was very neatly done and of course, Danzel's acting. Like Maryl Streep and Tom Hanks, his acting is effortless. No matter what role you give them they dissolve into those characters so easily. Very intriguing to watch. The cast was great in fact but they weren't given much to do there. I was very pleased to see John Goodman (the same due from the movie Fallen - Danzel and John) but he was in a very short role and Don Cheadle did rise and shine, but still not enough scope to do more. Also there was no character development and the story had a few flaws as well. You don't know throughout the movie whether you like the main character or not and that's really not a good thing for any movie. Nothing to do with the movie but just the way the character was developed. It does make you hate alcohol a  great deal though. I can see why it's prohibited in Islam. There's virtually nothing good about alcohol really. It kills too many people and it destroys a lot of families. So whatever good it offers the downside of it is just way overwhelming. No one in their right mind can support this.

In the US alone, in 2012, 10,322 people died in drunk driving crashes - one every 51 minutes.

I'll be watching Iron Lady tonight.
