So I saw the movie "Indiana Jones."

I was just underwhelmed. Indy never felt like he was in danger, he was always ahead of things. It just seemed like everything was going through the motions, with no real feeling like the old movies. The ending seemed kind of empty as well. All in all was it worth the $10 for the ticket? No, it wasn't. Would it be worth the matinee price? Yeah, I would pay $7.

Don't expect anything great and you will be fine.

Things have been quite hectic this past week. Went to a conference this past week and had to present two research posters. One was on Mycobacterium smegmatis [a species similar to tuberculosis] and the other was on fish biomechanics. I was extremely tired afterward but couldn't sleep as I had a grant proposal due the next day on the metabolic costs of maneuverability in fish. Finally this weekend I was able to sleep.

I spent Friday night going to the movies with the girlfriend. "Forbidden Kingdom" was okay, nothing special. The fight scenes were good, but it was not really worth the $10 a ticket. I would pay $3 to rent it, but would not spend the money to go to the theater again.
