Republican National Convention and Garden State
Well today is the start of the Republican National Convention. And I do want to point out that their major speakers are all moderate Republicans, unlike the party's new 2004 platform document, which so far is faaaaarrrrrr to the right, in, dare I say, an extremist point of view.
Conservatives Pull GOP Platform to Right
Anyways, tonight John McCain and Rudy Giuliani will speak in prime time. Hmm not two men who are known as very conservative men, especially on social issues. Anyways, just my two cents.
On another note, we went to see Garden State this weekend.
Wow! What a great movie. It REALLY moved me emotionally. Zach Braff(Scrubs) is an amazing talent! He wrote and directed this movie. And let me tell you that this movie was written exceptionally well. All the characters were SO rich, and fully realized. The acting was great. The camera work was magnificent. The story was really good. Not to give anything away, but the ending was the only part that I have a slight issue with, but by far, the movie overall was AWESOME! So splendid! It opens with brilliant visuals, Zach Braff in a sparse and completely white room laying like a zombie on his bed, not wanting to get up and go to work. It brings to mind his feelings of being blank inside, antiseptic and devoid of feeling. GREAT. Natalie Portman; PERFECT! Ok, ok I really should stop now. If you want to go to a movie, and you are a 20 something trying to figure out where you are going in your life, and how to overcome your past, see this movie!
How was that for a glowing review? Oh and a BEAUTIFUL soundtrack. Check it out!
Take a look at Zach Braff's blog as well.
