Apparently, everyone seeing the trailer can say that this is another Eddie Murphy movie, and more than that, it got Martin Lawrence in it. I can say that this is the best movie with Eddie Murphy I've ever seen. I like his acting and his talent, even if he starred in a lot of flops as well. This one, Life, is a profound drama with a rating which is less than deserved. I'm afraid people expected a comedy, maybe quite a typical Murphy comedy, and they were disappointed by watching a serious movie … [Read more...]

More Thoughts on Google Plus
The glory you may experience on Google Plus if you don’t have much to say is ephemeral. I consider Google Plus one of the best auxiliary tools for self expression near your website. Your website is the best and Google Plus is the second best. You write a post and you spread it to your friends on Twitter and Google Plus. What if you don’t have friends on Twitter and on Google Plus? Oh, almost forgot, you surely have friends on Facebook, only, do you really like them? Can they understand you on … [Read more...]
Stand Up Guys
Stand-Up Guys is the last Al Pacino movie I’ve seen. He’s not alone, of course, but it is not important. The subject is pretty lame. There is this bunch of decrepit mobsters, one played by Pacino and another one played by Christopher Walken. Walken has to kill Pacino when he came out of prison where he stayed alone because he never talked. Nobody expected him to talk, but in the last heist they pulled out, the son of a local “made” guy got killed. So this “chief” wanted Pacino dead to revenge … [Read more...]
Che Guevara, a Wrong Myth
A few years ago, wandering on maybe the most famous Istanbul street but the less visited by tourists because they're lured to different objectives in different parts of the great city, I have heard for the first time the piece of music featured in the video at the end of this article. One of the wrong myths of the last century, Ernesto Guevara de la Serna y Lynch, known as “el Che”, was fortunate enough to meet the right bunch to become famous. Unfortunately he doesn’t deserve to be famous, … [Read more...]
Engagement on Google Plus
I am so in love with Google Plus, I can't stop sharing it. This can be a sequel to my previous post, The Art of Circle Sharing, because is related to engagement created when sharing a circle, more than any other engagement. This is something very simple measured. I hope you remember the most efficient way to express your feelings on Google Plus, "Plus, comment, share!"? Logically, there are three categories who express engagement and made the top: The circle with the most re-shares, the circle … [Read more...]
The Art of Circle Sharing
I hope you know what I want to describe on this post, which is another homage to Google Plus and it's wonderful users. I think that after some years of using social sites, starting with myspace, for sample, I made an idea of how to mingle, contribute or even become popular on them, without artificiality. Myspace was the first social media site I took seriously, otherwise, I was on Yahoo 360, or ICQ before that, like everybody else :). My favorite was Twitter, succeeded by Pinterest, very close … [Read more...]
