Movie:
 Sunshine (2007)
Starring: Cillian Murphey, Michelle Yeoh, Cliff Curtis, Rose Byrne
Director: Danny Boyle
I began watching this film with little to no expectation, and ended up very pleasantly surprised.

Quote:
 Objectivism is not a way of putting your life on autopilot. In the face of such matters as taste, temperament, talent, and level of intelligence a formula for an inflexible, infallable morality is impossible. One can only be as moral as ability allows, and should be judged on those isssues that matter most. [Moral p]erfection is an impossible goal.

Quote:
There once was a local standup routine in a West Coast pub (of all places) and in attendance was this small group of German tourists. After the show the comedian came down to the bar and the Germans wanted to buy him a drink. One of the visitors asks him, "You really have a great routine going, how come we don't have anyone as funny as you back home?". The Coaster set down his beer and says, "Because you killed them all."

 A Matter of Faith by Brian Morin
First, I want to name some general strengths and weaknesses of this novel. Overall, I found it a worthwhile read. The author does a solid job of giving his characters substance, depth, and believability. The reader will come to care about them like real people. The plot had enough interesting twists to keep the reader turning pages to learn what ha... (See the whole review) (Added by Luke Setzer on 1/02, 9:58am)
