Last week I set a goal to do a minimum of 75 miles a week for a month. Well, on my first week of the goal I fell short by 10 miles. Considering I was a single mom and the amount of illness that was running through our house, I will forgive my shortcoming and reset the goal. Everyone's health is restored and Meryl is home from his trip...I have no excuses this week. I am 35 miles into the goal so I am on may way. I have decided to split up the workout. I will be on the bike at 5am and log in 10 miles and then 15-20 miles in the afternoon, depending on my schedule. It was nice to workout this morning, as I find it easier to concentrate throughout the day.
I started watching the movie, Uncertainty, last week and finally finished it up yesterday afternoon. It was really one of the better Indies I have watched so far. This drama was written and directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel If I could sum up this film in one word, it would be Clever.
Uncertainty opens up on the Brooklyn Bridge with a young, attractive couple trying to make a decision, what the decision is is not disclosed. They flip a coin and run in different directions. The movie then splits into the 2 scenarios of that coin flip. As the 2 separate decisions play out there are parallel realities.
I am a character type of movie watcher. I need to be able to identify with the characters to enjoy a film. The two main actors, Lynn Collins and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, do an excellent job of developing the characters, Kate and Bobby. It is easy to become involved in the action and the developing love story in each reality.
The editing and camera work was also above average for an Indie film. The viewer really got a sense of the insanity on the streets of NYC, as well as the diverse cultures that make up the Big Apple.
My grade for Uncertainty is a solid A.
