Over the Horizon: July 2006
http://fwsudia.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Monday, July 31, 2006. Written and directed by Woody Allen. Starring Woody Allen, Scarlett Johannsen, Hugh Jackman. A fun, light comedy / murder mystery, with a bit of a supernatural element. Not as tightly written and directed as Match Point,. Last year's well-received Allen film drama. However it is arguably a sequel, which reuses some of the stars of Match Point,. Allen (now 70) delivers a nice rendition of Being There. I was startled to learn that...

Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Monday, August 14, 2006. Movie / Miami Vice. Ah, Miami. Where the drug deals are huge, the international traffickers are ruthless, the vice squad cops are young and handsome or beautiful, everyone has plenty of automatic weapons, pricey sports cars, private jets, powerful speed boats, fancy penthouses and mansions, swaying palm trees, beautiful water and sky, rhythmic trance music, and genuine style and mood. The plot's not complex, in fact there's no...

Several questions that no one is asking need answers. 1) What corporate environmental factors prompted Dr. Keyworth to leak in the first place? 2) Why didn't the boardroom relationships allow them to work through a management process to identify the leak within closed doors? Above comment in response to -. Septem...

Over the Horizon: Choosing Good Passwords in 2013
http://fwsudia.blogspot.com/2013/02/choosing-good-passwords-in-2013.html
Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Monday, February 18, 2013. Choosing Good Passwords in 2013. Now that we are living in the Cyber War Era, you are a combatant too. Yet while you are armed only with a pitchfork or a sharp stake (your lowly password), there are a number of things you can do to increase your combat-readiness. Once inside, the first thing they steal is the password file, which they can either keep secret or else publicly post on the Internet for anyone to download. Wo...

Over the Horizon: May 2006
http://fwsudia.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. Movie / X-Men: The Last Stand. Think of a comic book, about 3/4 inch thick, targeted at boys 9-12 years old, with many characters (the mutants) having a wide assortment of super powers, a whole army of them in fact. Judging from the record Memorial Day box office gross, that audience might include about half the world. Posted by Frank Sudia @ 5/30/2006 12:48:00 PM. Links to this post. Friday, May 19, 2006. Despite the religious ...

Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Issue / Proof of the Existence of God? The "proof of the existence of God" problem has been around since at keast the Middle Ages, and I won't claim that this is the last word, but it is interesting to consider the following line of reasoning. Hence (as various other writers have postulated) human evolution might advance far enough that we could affect the initial conditions of creation, of this or another universe. We're ...

Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Monday, January 30, 2006. Book / Athenian Society and Economy: A Banking Perspective. The trapeza took deposits and made loans, some of the proceeds of which were redeposited (and reloaned), thus expanding the money supply without fiat currency. There was zero government regulation! I'm only part way thought it, but thought I would share this info, for all you history buffs out there. Originally posted 23 Dec 1997. Links to this post. Gravity at high ...

Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Saturday, October 28, 2006. Movie / Root of All Evil. Richard Dawkins is the foremost advocate of the doctrine of Evolution, and a professional athiest. A telegenic Oxford biology professor and prolific author, he is funded by Microsoft billionaire Charles Simonyi. Thus who better to ask why our world is being torn apart by fundamentalist religions, based on faded scriptures, that have gone beyond ignoring Science and are actively attacking it? It is ...

Over the Horizon: April 2006
http://fwsudia.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Film, Book, and Topical Issue Reviews by Frank Sudia. Sunday, April 09, 2006. Movie / Tristam Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. Comedy (British). Rated R, based on a good number of sex scenes, an Al Pacino imitation, and ongoing discussion of injuries to male private parts. Also the hero is depicted nude inside a giant model womb. See also my very similar IMDB review. Two days later: This film resembles viewing the "making of" and "out-takes" sections of a modern DVD, without the actual movie! Thus you can ...
