Movie: Upgrade (2018)

This movie was much more subtle than I had expected.  A well done addition to the AI taking control/cyborg genre.


As with all good sci-fi it provides lots of ideas to ponder.


Leigh Whannell (writer/director) is quite the talent.

Movie: Butterfly Kisses (2017)

I'm not a big fan of "found footage" films but this one is pretty clever.

Movie: Out in the Dark (2012)

A most disturbing film, as was intended.


The acting throughout, for every character, was excellent.


It has been haunting me since I watched it last evening.  It does make me remember just how lucky I am to have been born and be living my life in Canada. 


It also reminds me how brutish, frightening, precarious and fragile life is for probably the majority of people living on this planet.


Especially gay people - as a gay person I tend to think of gay people around the world as my people, as my kind, as my brothers and sisters.

It's not always a kindness to say "yes" when you really want to say "no" just because it's a little thing and you don't want to hurt someone's feelings. 


It can seem like you're doing the person a favour but they can latch onto that act as meaning more than it does and be set up to be really disappointed when later you have to say "no" to something bigger.
