On Movies-"Harry Brown"

Harry Brown came out in 2009 and stars Michael Caine as Harry Brown a former Royal Marine whose apartment complex has been infected by drug dealers and other delinquents who are basically making everyone's life hell.  They wake Harry Brown out of his slumber when they wind up killing his best friend. There are a number of reasons to watch this film. Michael Caine of course gives a great performance and the opening sequence is riveting. The scene that really makes the film worthwhile is with the character called Stretch played by Sean Harris. Stretch will make your skin crawl and after the scene I felt like I needed a shower. Just when you think a human cannot get more debased Harris takes Stretch lower. A very good performance. This is not a feel good movie at all and the ride it takes you on is through the dark places of the soul. In part the  characters try to control the chaos which at points needs to be embraced.

THUMB KEYBOARD


 Is a phone/tablet keyboard worth paying a few bucks for? Yes, if it is Thumb Keyboard. The different layouts available are intuitive and great to type with. This keyboard has made me as fast as my teen daughters at texting, enough said. http://www.thumbkeyboard.blogspot.com/

That all for now enjoy the apps and in the case of Thumb Keyboard embrace chaos and spend a few bucks.
