Review Icon minkey reviewed Frost/Nixon in Drama:
I found this to be very compelling. I think Nixon is one of the most interesting political figures of all time, and for a guy who hugely wanted approval from others and wanted to be judged as a man who made great contributions to society, for him to open up to Frost was quite incredible. Nixon seemed to warm up to him, couple with what must have been a strong desire to get these secrets and guilt that he held onto out in the open. That seems to be what the American public wanted as well, some degree of honesty to come out of Richard Nixon. The actor who played Frost looked quite a bit like him and seemed to capture his mannerisms, and while the actor who played Nixon did a good job, he didn't much resemble Nixon. That being said, I was quite interested in this film the whole time and it illumited some things regarding that peice of history.

My interest has faded. 10 years ago, a business professor had us all subscribe to what he called the cutting edge business publication, the new wall street journal in a magazine. I remember being very intersted in the articles, from what makes an expansion giant like wal-mart or starbucks thrive; business practices they have instituted that makes them a success. Now, the first 50 pages are advertisements with paragraph sprinklings mixed in. The full articles, 90% of the content is about tech up and comers, or companies and their online growth. I get it, the last company I worked for, 95% of what I sold was on line, and even the one I'm in now is moving to about 50% digital product. But could go get a tech magazine. What I'm interested in again is the processes these companies are putting in place to sustain and increase their profitability, along with survive during times like these. I'd like to see some of what the mom and pop entreprenuers are doing, and Fast Company has lost that touch.

Review Icon minkey reviewed The Wrestler in Drama:
He said it best at the end, when you live a hard life and party hard, you find yourself a pretty lonely guy. All he knew at that point was the wrestling and he chose it and the party over establishing a relationship with his daughter and a woman. He was a likeable guy who was very self-aware, and somewhat humble, but he couldn't choose a steady life over what he knew best. I met a boxer who was like this guy, who's in his upper 40's and now works as an exterminator. He had won some middleweight championships and had some national fame, and without any education or real skills, he retired and un-retired several times, losing badly, but just trying to re-gain some form of the life he had. It's a sad way to live, closing bars every night hoping someone will recognize you so you can take your belts out the trunk of your car and show some photographs, waking up the next day to the reality that it's never going to come back.

He's definetely one of the most famous athlete of all time, for his performance and charisma. He's one of a few who is loved by everyone; all races. It's strange to see him now, he's only about 70 but is about as frail as someone who is 90. I was at a charity event last night in Scottsdale and was about ten feet from him, but didn't shake his hand. There were lots of little kids who wanted to say hello. He seemed genuinely happy to be surrounded by people. Everyone was sort of in awe of him and although he can't knock anyone in the world out he still commands that sort of respect.

It's still going around, several people I know had or have it. I have found myself with a slight sore throat this week and thought - swine flu? But I think it's from not changing the filter in my air conditioner.

I still like the old helpful/unhelpful. I've given agrees, but look at is more as bonus points. If I like a review I'll give it a helpful. I can't recall using the disagree button yet. Have given a few funny's though, if it is legitimately funny or just ridiculous.

Worth a watch and funny but not a priority. Has the gambiat of couple issues, with Vince Vaughn being the typical guy who is too busy to pay attention to his wife's needs, Jason Bateman who is overly anal yet misses the boat, Jon Favreau in a loveless/unfaithful marriage with the hot sex and the city chick, and Malin Akerman who's wife left him and he's now with a 20 year old floosy. They all get suckered into this couples retreat in Eden and find out it actually is going to be not all fun and games, but some work and some self-awareness is involved. There are some funny supporting characters who I've seen in The Hangover and The Breakup, and a yoga instructor who gets a little too sexual with some of the wives. Of course there are cheesy/happy endings for all couples.

Like the Phils pitching around (and hitting) ARod, I think the Yankees took the approach that Howard wasn't going to beat them. He did get a lot of crap pitches. Yeah if those guys showed it would have been better.

I feel compelled to write just because I don't hate him; looking at this string of 1's you would think he was OJ. While he comes off as arrogant, he's knowledgeable and I can pretty much tune him out and focus on the game while picking up the key points.
