Lions for Lambs… Worth a Watch.

Posted on Thursday, February 5, 2009 in Film, Politics

imagesFilm Review: Lions for Lambs 

Unfortunately this film flew under the radar for many people, but it’s worth a watch. The story drifts from 3 events, all taking place simultaneously, revolving around the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The movie is less ideologically driven as opposed to thought provoking. The film demonstrates the role of the Media, politicians, and educators play in advocating for or against war.

Included, is a surprisingly great performance by Tom Cruise; who plays a politician… somewhat pompous and over confident.

Altimeter, barometer, thermometer, chronograph, alarm and compass. What else could you want in a watch?

Gates

Crazy Bill Gates is at it again.. this time releasing live.. yes living.. mosquitos on to a crowd at the TED conference today.

After which he said, “Not only poor people should experience this.”

This apparently has something to due with the Gates Foundation & Malaria.

Way to go Bill!
