Wonderful adaptation of a Stephen King novel that takes us into the lives of the people on death row.

##Polish of the Oscar right now!

Before I get into the meat of this review, I’d like to thank the guy that
stars as John Coffey (I forget his name at the moment). I don’t know how he
did it, but he completely pulled me into the character he was playing, and
that doesn’t happen very often. Most of the time, you realize that you’re
watching an actor play a part. This time, I believed in John Coffey.

If he doesn’t win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, there’s something
seriously wrong.

##Happy Millenial Eve!!!

Yes, I know that it’s not mathematically the millenium
(don’t we all know that by now). But, I say that it’s time
we fix the calendar and just call next year the first year
of the new decade/century/millenium and be done with it.
Let’s face it, the only reason the birth of Christ wasn’t
designated as year zero was that the Romans didn’t understand
the concept of zero. Had they, we wouldn’t now be suffering with the
stupidity that 2000 is the last year of the 1000’s millenium, the 1900’s
century, and the 1990’s decade.

The calendar has had adjustments in the past, adding in the concept of a
leap year and removing some 20 days from the calendar when the
seasons started to get out of sync. In the past this took a papal decree, or
a royal declaration. But today, we the people have the power, and it’s time
to stop the madness.

Henceforth, all majoral calendar events start when nines turn to zeros.
End of discussion!
