A History of Violence

I had read good things about this film at IMDB (Internet Movie
Database) and so we went to check it last night. As it was only being screened at The Grove, the session was pretty full, probably sold out. I rushed into the theatre to get the seats and unfortunately only the front rows had the amount we needed available.
I have to say AHV is odd. It definitely sticks to your mind afterwards
and, personally, I have not decided if I liked or not. Technically I
was not very fond of it. There were some flaws in the lighting (i.e. the hospital scene) Moreover, I was not able to get involved with the plot. It made me uncofortable and I don't know why.
I think what is bothering the most is the fact that I cannot define the film, therefore I cannot make up my mind whether it is good or not.
Most definitely it has some very interesting sequences but it lacks something I just can't think of, maybe a connection between those sequences.

Own it!

Own Yourself
The other day I got a little upset with some friends from volleyball.
While researching for a player to add on to my team for Las Vegas
Tournament on Halloween weekend, I came across this email from a AA player
who was interested in joining us. After a little investigation with one
of these friends, we found out the guy in question was a great player
with a bitchy attitude. Since good attitude is a must (in my opinion, as
important as volleyball skills), I wrote back to him and decided to be
honest and open about what I had found out about him. I did not
rejected him, I just wanted to be opened about the issue and possibly get his
side of the story. When I told my friends what I have done, they
condemn my act, telling me it could have been rude.
My argument was: First: I was not calling him names, but instead I
brought up the repercussion of his attitude, which could be an eye-opener.
Second: If he is bitchy, pleaaaasse, he must know about it and should
own it, and accept the consequences for being that way!
I was very surprised with their comments! Something like: " Would you
like someone you didn't know to tell you are a b%tch. I would reply with
a F#ck you!" My reply was that I would definitely not like but rather
than be an a$$ about it I would worry and try to prove them wrong,
working carefully on my flaws.
I, myself, do not have the best attitude in the court. I can be a sore
loser sometimes, I can get mad easily and bring a negative vibe to the
rest of the team with my intensity too and I admit it. Oh! Cmon! I just
cannot think of someone that doesn't know about his own
instabilities... I know about mine and because of that I have been more tactful on the
court..
I hate fake moralists!
