The Adjustment Bureau
« on: February 19, 2012, 01:06:29 pm »
So I just finished watching a really awesome movie through OnDemand!  It starred Matt Damon and some girl that I didn't recognize and forgot to check in the credits.  I guess it's based on a book called The Adjustment Team.

I don't want to spoil it, but the movie is basically a deconstruction of fate.  I thought it was pretty damned good.  It had enough plot twists to keep me guessing.  ;)
My friend's blog.  Check it out!

I blame/credit The Doctor with inspiring my name change.

I saw that movie on a plane flight several months back... was pretty good, as I recall.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I really enjoy what I've read of Philip K Dick's works, and I understand that film was based on one of his many short stories (one I need to get around to reading) I saw the film when it came out in the cinema over here and it was surprisingly good. the ending was kind of sudden though, as I remember.
