Soso Left Overs


A bitter man by the name of Nemo, captains an attack submarine terrorizing sailing vessels. It strikes me as similar to modern day terrorists hurting others for their "cause." It all just seems pointless to me. No decent outcome. Might be more interesting to read the Jules Vern novel written over 100 years ago.

The History Channel
Admiral Chester Nimitz

While this DVD tells the story of Admiral Nimitz's life and military career, it really didn't reveal much about his inner workings. We didn't really get a sense of what makes him such an amazing leader. It comes off as rather dry history.

These four films changed circumstances but had the exact same plot. The mule helps a man get ahead. Nobody believes the kindly everyman that Francis is the one helping him until they irritate the mule into talking. Donald O'Connor stars as the shy soldier who talks to mules. Cute for a little while, but I got bored of the gimmick.
