Ryan is Grant

I'm attempting to read through the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I've been reading Genesis, and right now, I'm at the part where Joseph is made head of Egypt after interpreting Pharaoh's two dreams. "Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt" (Gen. 41:46). Obviously, he had been in Egypt long before that, and he was helping Potiphar, captain of the guard, in his household. So he had been making an impression on the Egyptians before being sent to jail after Potiphar's wife claimed Joseph was trying to molest her. The point I want to make is that something great happened for Joseph by the age of 30. That gives me some hope about my future. I've got 6 years till I'm 30. Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream to mean that 7 years of abundance were coming followed by 7 years of famine.

I saw this in the theater last October with Nate. I was very impressed with the film then, and I was glad to see it again just tonight. I think it's a very well told "coming of age" story, set in the context of "vampire lore." Definitely more worth someone's time than "Twilight." I think the ending was a little too much. Almost overblown in proportion to the subtlety of the rest of the film. But the film inspired me. I think Tomas Alfredson directed the story very well. Precision image decisions. 3 out 5 Netflix. 8 on 10-scale.

David Lean creates masterpiece cinema. "Ryan's Daughter" (1970) is no exception to the rule. Complimented by a riveting (and ironic) score by Maurice Jarre, this film shows that Lean has a keen eye for capturing beautiful, natural images. You can tell he took his time with capturing Ireland's true oceanic beauty. One critique, it had a slow set up, but the second half of the film was very moving. Gripped me! 4 out 5 Netflix. 8.5 on 10-scale.
