Movie Reviews: Inside Man, and The Station Agent.
Inside Man:
Staring: Denzel Washington.
Very good mystery cop thriller. One must pay attention from the very beginning, and all the way through.

The Station Agent:
One of the most impressive movies I’ve seen in a few years. Slow and easy going, but a real “feel good” movie. I highly recommend it to everyone it is a must see movie! It’s a few years old so it should be available in any video store.
The following review is from Amazon dot com:

A strong ensemble and director Tom McCarthy's sweetly low-key observations make Sundance fave The Station Agent a treat. The film revolves around a reserved, somber dwarf (Peter Dinklage, immortalized by his brilliant ticked-off tirade in Living in Oblivion), a train enthusiast who inherits a small depot in rural New Jersey. He makes friends, somewhat reluctantly, with a group of eccentric locals: the guy at the coffee stand (buoyant Bobby Cannavale), an artist (Patricia Clarkson, impeccable as usual), and a librarian (Michelle Williams). A few of the plot strands feel forced, but whenever the actors are simply playing off each other with McCarthy's nicely understated dialogue--which is most of the time--it ambles along winningly. You'll also learn more than you will ever thought you'd want to know about trains. The key is Dinklage's smoldering performance, one of those reminders that a single scowl is worth pages of conversation. --Robert Horton

On assignment in Orange County.
I'm down here again, working on two new projects: New F-18 Windshield tooling to produce the new heavy duty bird strike Windshield, The customer is GKN Aerospace; and new tooling for the new GEnx Engine Nacells for the new Boeing 747-8, this customer is Lockheed Middle River Aerospace. Some fun work. I will be down here through next week, at least. Here is the Boeing 747-8 Website address: http://www.747.newairplane.com/funstuff/Pictures.aspx take a look, its cool.

While I have been down here Nancy bought us a new tree for the front yard, and planted it! It is a Crabapple and in full bloom. I can't wait to get home to see it. My friend Mel took some pictures of it and emailed them to me. it is beautiful.

I'm having big time birding withdrall, and I'm missing all the spring birds. I'll miss the last Audubon meeting before the Summer break. Bummer.
