Stranger Than Fiction

I watched Stranger Than Fiction this week. I highly recommend it, especially for writers.

The movie follows the life of Harold Crick (Will Ferrell), the main character in a new book written by Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson).

There are many literary allusions, and the dialog is quite clever. I enjoyed the movie so much, I watched it a second time with my brother and his girlfriend.

Here's a quote from the movie I thought you might appreciate. When asked how she came up with the ending of her story, Karen Eiffel says: "Like anything worth writing, it came inexplicably and without method."

Rent Stranger Than Fiction and watch it. Time well spent.

Loose Change

Last night, I watched Loose Change, a documentary that questions the validity of the conventional explanation for the events of 9/11.

I must say, it's the most shocking movie I've watched this year. I encourage you to download it and watch it for free.

Whether or not you agree with it, it's quickly becoming a part of our social fabric. (It's one of the most successful Internet movies of all time.)
