Minority Report
Good Science fiction. I liked the concept of the PreCogs. Being able to predict or forsee crime and then stop it, good job. But why would you arrest someone for something he was about to do, but hasn’t really done it. That was my concern, but then thats just me
.
All in all a great action packed thriller. Tom Cruise is good. Story line is great, just too much technical jargon at times.
But you should watch it atleast once, after all it is a Spielberg direction. My 3 stars out of 5 for this one.
The Contender

Not a movie that would interest me, but I watched it never the less. It had a lot of Political mumbo jumbo which frankly I don’t understand and don’t want to either. But I must admit the movie does have an interesting twist towards the end.
The story is more or less about a lady being elected as a Vice President and awaiting confirmation by the Congress. Its the challenges she faces during this entire period. There are issues about her personal life raised during the confirmation but she chooses not to answer them. Not because she is guilty of them but because she feels politics and personal life should never be mixed together.
My 2 and a half out of 5 stars for this one.
You can watch this one on a DVD if you like Politics mixed with some Thrill.
The Grand Canyon National Park
A Grand Experience. Even though this was my 2nd visit to the Grand Canyon National Park I was still in complete awe of what I saw. I must admit that the weather was much better than last time. The sun was high, but at the same time a cool breeze blew throughout the day. I saw most of Canyon in the car. We drove from point to point and took lots of pictures.
If you want to stay at an affordable place close to the park’s entry, the Grand Canyon Inn is the perfect choice. We got two rooms for a night for $131.
The next time I go to the Grand Canyon I would definately want to see the canyon from a helicopter or a chartered plane. Hiking was something we missed on, which I would like to do next time. Even though we didn’t take the aerial tour of the canyon, the IMAX at the Grand Canyon gave us a great simulation of the same.
Can’t wait to go back to the Grand Canyon.
