Just finished reading my niece-in-law's blog on her 3 yr old's adjustment to being the big brother of twin brothers. It made me laugh out loud several times. Especially when his mom is telling him that all mammals feed their young breast milk and he asks if they take off their clothes to do it. There is nothing like a little kid to make a person laugh with joy and tear out their hair with frustration! What a gift they are.
I am re-watching all of Ridley Scott's movies, because he's such a great film maker. Last night I finished watching American Gangster with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. What a wonderful movie that is. Washington and Crowe are both excellent actors, and I ended up rooting for both of them, even though they're on the opposite sides of the good guy/bad guy struggle. The film itself was so well done. The storey is interesting, too. Crowe's character is an exemplary cop, who finally puts Washington's character in prison. He gets Washington's character to give evidence and they put 3/4 of the NYPD narcotics division in prison for breaking the law. They end up with more than 155 convictions. Crowe's character works as a lawyer for the prosecution, including the case that convicts Washington's character. Then Crowe's character goes to work as a defense lawyer and takes on Washington's character's case. This could only happen in real life. It's would be too much to believe if it was fiction. The guy Crowe was playing must have had a really brilliant mind to be a success in all three careers.
