Watched Rain Man


My mom really liked this movie and begged me to watch it. 


The movie is about a young Yuppie who meets his autistic brother who has inherited most of his father's fortune. It's has a deep meaning of understanding and acceptance for a family members' shortcomings.  


However I just couldn't stand watching this movie. When Raymond would freak out, his brother Charlie would often be such a jerk that it was pathetic. It was almost painful to watch a lot of these scenes.

Things I Like: Hook


I love the movie idea, take the classic tale and put a modern twist on it. 


Peter Pan had grown up and forgotten all about Neverland. 


Until Dustin Hoffman kidnaps his son. 


But Peter remembers the old ways, and regains his former persona. 


Also I don't know who the fuck Rufio was in the old stories, but they sure like to say his name.
