Garden State

Yesterday I saw a movie that deserves an entry in this blog. Garden State is an independent film written and directed by Zach Braff who also plays the main character. The film is a journey of self appraisal, of homecoming and discovering the beauty of simple life. As the main character learnsmore about himself, he gets caught in a unconventional relationship that develops into a love-story. For me this movie had the optimistic taste of Amelie projected on the current American culture. But probably the main attraction to Garden State is its soundtrack, which I have been listening to for a couple of weeks and it seems to grow on me with every occasion. If you are looking for a movie with a real message take my word and go and see Garden State. Buying the soundtrack wouldn't be a bad idea either!

Kerry will lose

I think it's time for another entry in my blog. I just finished watching the last presidential debate and I have reached a verdict. I know who is going to win the 2004 election. I risk sounding ridiculous, but I think Kerry will lose. I was watching the debate and I just realized that Kerry will lose just because he is catholic. It is a fact that the protestant community decided the election four years ago when they voted for Bush's messianic message. I think that this time around the protestants will vote against Kerry just because they can't identify with him. This huge voting base will not be able to trust Kerry because he is a catholic.
