Ash Wednesday

March first is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.

The priest says, "Remember: dust you are, and to dust you shall return."

Narcissus (生花七種傳)

Arrival (Movie, 2016)

Arrival attempts to interweave the sci-fi story with an intimate, emotional human story, probing themes of non-linear time. While I appreciate that the story is about humans trying to communicate with aliens rather than trying to kill them, the movie was basically almost 2 hours of Amy Adams breathing heavy. I hated how it jumped around in time, basically making it nonsensical. 

金桔地瓜

Lion (Movie, 2016)

Beautiful, amazing and deeply heartfelt. I was surprised that this was a true story. Some scenes did drag on a bit, especially at the beginning. Nicole Kidman is a plus.

The Expendables 3 (Movie, 2014)

I love watching the "older members" who I'd grown accustomed to seeing on the screen doing battle. Hard to believe that almost all of them have headlined their own movies at one time - in the past. Then you have to get ready to see a new lot of Expendables get recruited. Lots of action and entertaining.
