Shriek-filled movie


Category: Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure
Rating: ****

"I think we might have entered the wrong cinema." This was the thought that entered my mind when I saw the snow-laden wilderness and the people that this particular story is telling about. All along, I thought that I would be watching a cartoon movie! I got this idea from the poster (showing a scene that was not in the movie) since I never saw the trailer.

And then I got engrossed in the story. And I had to put my hand over my mouth since I was shrieking at various parts of the movie. I am not sure if the other movie watchers enjoyed the movie, but I did. Of course, it is not perfect but I had fun watching a Hollywood formula of a man who will do anything and is capable of everything in order to attain the love of his life.

Great movie!

*I realized in that movie the price that slaves (for example, the Israelites) had to pay in order to build the majestic Pyramids. Ah, how the thirst for power makes people abuse other people.

I didn't particularly enjoy the movie, or maybe it's because half of the time I was checking out the itsy-bitsy details like, how "perfect" those cave people's teeth were or how impossibly huge those CGI mammoths were. :-D

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
