Knowing

This movie has brought BS to a new level. It starts in a very stunning way so that you think you're watching the best thriller ever. The visual effects is just astonishing. As the story goes on you become more and more disappointed. At the end you have this feeling that the hole plot is written by a child who's parents has told her some stories from the bible, something like stories of Adam and Eve and the Armageddon, and she mixed these stories with the stories of aliens and UFOs she heard at school... The first 2/3 of the movie is worth watching, but the rest is a huge disappointment. Honestly though, it is like giving this simple mindedly written plot to the best film making crew.
I bet the plot has been written with the church approval. And it is scary how they can expose the audience to their anti-science crap!

Things I do not do without you

 There are places unseen, moments unshared, words unspoken, dances undancesd, looks uncast, songs unsung, notes unplayed, laughs unlaughed, tears unshed, airs unbreathed, skins untouched, hairs uncaressed, hearts unbeaten; lips unkissed.

There are moments imagined but unlived.

White Norouz!

No family gathering, No gifts, no "sabzy polo with fish", no "haft sin", not even a single green plant to give me a faint feeling of Spring! Sitting in my cubical, diving deep into dreams of colorful and glorious Norouzes of the past, I feel lonelier than ever!

Bergman's Sawdust and Tinsel

Life goes round and round as the circus Ingmar Bergman pictured in one of the silver screen's masterpieces "Sawdust and Tinsel" does. The movie is made black and white in 1953 and is one of the director's favorites and is really worth watching. Ingmar Bergman has never disappointed me, and I am still eager to watch more and more of his movies. He was a very busy director and is going to keep me amazed by his picture for years to come. I have "Crisis" and "Persona" in my list. I'm going to watch the former tonight actually.
