Not about to...
Well, having given it more thought, I am going to keep this blog going.
I will be back with a review of the new film Flags of our Fathers and more.

Hiatus
I just wanted to take a moment to say I will be putting this blog on a brief hiatus, as I am dealing with some medical issues and am on doctor's orders to remain on bed rest until at least Monday.
My hiatus may last longer than Monday depending on what I hear from the doctor's that day, but, again, I will not be able to post until Monday at the earliest.
See you again soon!

Sunday Fun
Well, I promised some reviews/ recommendations, so here they are:
The other day I watched a movie called Edison Force, and it is a lot of fun. It stars Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, LL Cool J, and, um, Justin Timberlake, who is actually a really good actor. Highly recommended.
And today I saw the new Martin Scorcese film The Departed, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Mark Wahlberg. It was, in a word, great and very intense. It is probably the best new film I have seen all year. As there is a lot going on in it and I don't want to give anything away, I will just say that all of the actors are excellent but Leonardo and Marky Mark really stand out. Highly Recommended.
As for books, I am currently reading (well, it is one of the books I am currently reading) The Emperor Gaius by J.P.V.D. Baldson, it was first published in 1934, and is a history of the Roman emperor Gaius, more famously known as Caligula. As I am a great student of Roman history, Caligula is quite a fascinating figure to me and, indeed, I have already read a few books about him and this one provides further insights into the man. Highly Recommended.
Though there is a lot of music that I love, one album that I really like is Gustav Mahler's Fifth Symphony. Highly Recommended.
So, that is it from me for this Sunday and see you again later!
