Jack Reacher, A Perfect Plan (Un Plan Parfait), This is 40
Remember the days when everyone in the airplane has to see the same movie. All new planes have personalized entertainment unit, which makes it difficult for movie fans to sleep during a flight. I am getting better at turning of the little screen! Because I had seen many of the new films on offer, I sampled three lesser-known films on recent flights.
Life is not for Wimps (Das Leben ist nichts für Feiglinge)
How much misfortunate do you need before you feel like life is just too hard and you rather be dead. Many years ago I had stomach flue and I felt so bad that I just wanted to be relieved of my misery. Cowered in bed with excruciating pain, I exclaimed. “God, please let me die.”
Obama’s Alternative Berlin Speech
Citizens of Berlin, citizens of Germany!
I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished mayor, who has come to symbolize throughout the world the party spirit of Berlin.
Where is he? Klaus, my man! Really looking forward to our little soiree a little later today.
Jeff Buckley “Hallelujah”
This may be the most beautiful song of Jeff Buckley.

Nelson Mandela’s story from political prisoner to President of South Africa is an amazing story. Invictus tries to show how he used the almost all white South African rugby team to help unify the country by having the majority of black South Africans rout for the national rugby they previously despised because they symbolize their oppressors.
