Afternoon Movie!

Movie Summary: Set in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, three Bondurant brothers run a bootlegging operation during the depression, up in the mountains of Franklin County, Virginia. Crooked Special Deputy Charles Rakes is after a share of the brothers' profits. Compounding their troubles, the local competition is elbowing in on their activities. Forrest's boisterous defiance and Cricket's knack for moonshine production help the brothers gain a local monopoly. When Forrest is wounded as tension with Rakes escalates, Jack, initially the timid one, must prove his worth against gangster Floyd Banner's mob, and we see him metamorphose into a cocky exhibitionist in his attempts to woo the off-limits preacher's daughter, Bertha.

Last weekend, John, Dan, and I went to the movies today. We saw Lawless starring Shia LeBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska, to name a few. This movie was based on a true story and was very interesting. It's hard to imagine a time when it was outlawed to have alcohol. There were a few violent/gruesome parts, but besides that it was a really good movie!

Book Review

Summary: We plot. We plan. We assume things are going to go a certain way. And when they don't, we find ourselves in a new place---a place we haven't been before, a place we never would have imagined on our own. It is the difficult and the unexpected, and maybe even the tragic, that opens us up and frees us to see things in new ways. Many of the most significant moments in our lives come not because it all went right but because it all fell apart. Suffering does that. It hurts, but it also creates. This book is an exploration of the complex relationship between suffering and creativity, driven by the belief that there is art in the agony.

A friend from work got me to read this book of her's. I would call it a 'religious art coffee table book'. You can finish it in one setting. It's mostly pictures but the words are very meaningful. Making you think about suffering and how creativity can come out of it.
