Atlanta Braves – World Series Winners!

Congratulations for the Atlanta Braves for winning the World Series after defeating the Houston Astros four games to two.

It was their fourth World Series title in the franchise’s history and their first since 1995 back when the Maddux / Glavine / Smoltz combination led them over the Cleveland Indians. To think they were so close to winning back-to-back championships when they let the New York Yankees stage a comeback after being up by two games to one, and 6 runs to 0 in the fourth game.

Ahh… the 90s…

Malignant

I went to see this film based on a hunch that it would be something different, and I was not dissapointed. Two things stood out to me:

  1. The outdoors establishing shot of the house where most of the main events take place in the film, shows a victorian two-floor 1,100 sq.ft. structure. Yet, the inside takes of the house show rooms that are so spacious it seems like it is a 7,000 sq.ft. mansion with so much spare space, you could hold a 300-guest party in it.
  2. During a particular scene near the end of the second act, two of the characters are driving to an old and abandoned mental institution. They have any available spot to park, yet somehow they choose to park their car at the very borderline of an edge just a few inches away from a free fall that would have sent them down about 1,000 feet.

What an interesting film! Or should I say, prank played by James Wan?
