Phone Booth, mini review

Went to see Phone Booth over the weekend. Overall I would give it a thumbs up when matinee priced. The movie does the all in realtime like the tv series 24, which helps to keep the intensity up. Colin Farrell did a good job of taking the audience through Stu’s emotions. Phone Booth left me with the impression that it was a movie made for alpha males, staring alpha males, styled for alpha males with message targeted for alpha males.

BTW, the female watching Phone Booth withme didn’t find it a successful movie, so your millage may vary.

Weight Loss

slashdot brings up the weight loss card and the Stanford researchers review efficacy and safety of low-carbohydrate diets which hits the weight management on the head While these diets are effective in the short term, weight loss results from reduced calories, not carbohydrate restriction. Removing carbs is just one way to remove calories. The study was short term, 90 days or less. I would really like to see something long term on what is really a healthy diet for humans now that we live longer than a handful of decades.

One of the comments had a link to The 5BX Plan For Physical Fitness which was something the wrestling teamin highschool followed.
