Musings of an Idiot

NZ is the third fattest country in the world behind Mexico and USA, according to Health Data Report 2009 which monitors OECD countries. Way to go NZ!!!! So much for the outdoorsy, active lifestyle image that we used to have. The problem is processed foods and obviously cheap food like meat pies and fast food, which in the current economic climate is what people buy to save on money and it ain't looking pretty. Anyone who eats more than a pizza or a couple of meat pies or couple of trips to McDonalds, is clearly not thinking of the health ramifications of doing that. I hope we wise up to the silent epidemic and take corrective measures to help avoid major health problems. All it takes is 30 minutes of daily exercise to keep us fit and I guess that's the bare minimum that we owe ourselves.

Sin Nombre was a feast on the eyes - very well directed and shot movie with brilliant performances. And the scale of the movie is amazing as well as it follows the nameless immigrants from central america to a better life in US of A. It is harrowing but mesmerizing at the same time. Moon was a great experience - especially because I got to watch it with Christina and David - even though we bought our own tickets, seperately and without planning. How random is that? Love it. 'Moon' was an enjoyable experience because it was full of ideas and I am still thinking about some of them. Sam Rockwell is rock solid in the movie and he is the movie really.
