On Saturday as part of our Geek Summit of awesomeness, we watched a few movies… and when I say a few, I mean we watched 4, back to back with brief breaks for coffee/tea/food/wine.
First up: Death Race [trailer]. Pretty amusing film about car racing and death set in a futuristic prison – with the future being 2012. Kinda ironic beginning about the economy tanking. Was fun to watch once, but probably wouldn’t watch it again.
Second: Son Of Rambo [trailer]. This was hilarious!! I heard all the hype when it was released, but didn’t really think it’d be my cup of tea… I was wrong! Loved it. Laugh out loud funny. Highly recommended.
Third: Die Welle (The Wave) [trailer]. German film based on a high school teachers experiment demonstrating what life is like under a dictatorship. Inevitably it all goes a bit wrong. A tad scary at times when you think about it, but an excellent film nonetheless.
Fourth: Taken [trailer]. Liam Neeson stars as a former spy whose daughter is kidnapped while on holiday in Europe. He, of course, mounts a one man mission to save her. Despite the rubbish reviews it initially got, we all enjoyed it!
Spent the weekend at ‘Geek Summit’ in/around Edinburgh with some good friends from CAid. Had a lot of fun geeking out over movies & comic books. We caught the late showing on Friday night of the new Watchmen movie… it was phenomenal! You should all go see it.
Went to see Revolutionary Road last week with a few girls from housegroup. Not an enjoyable film to watch, but a very good one.
I was intrigued by how the only person speaking any sense was the one that was considered insane.
I was challenged to not give up on my dreams.
I was reminded that every choice has a cost.

Some of my fellow gapper colleagues are busy working hard editing the video footage we shot while in the DRC last month. Jim & Steph did the filming work, and are now editing along with Chris & JP. Here’s a first glimpse of their work…
