Movie night

 

It's movie night again!  Watch a movie with me!  "Next" (2007).  Nicolas Cage doesn't strike me as a romantic lead, he should avoid doing any smiling and kissing.  And Julianne Moore can't run.  It's a shame she's been typecast as a cop, because she can't run.  Be gentle with those knees, Honey.  Otherwise, this movie does work as a thriller.  It's got that nice time loop going without getting excessive.  There's no need for a sequel.  But the story probably would have been better if he never left the casinos, and the nuke never came into play.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

77.  Have you not turned your vision to those who were told to hold back their hands but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity?  When the order for fighting was issued to them, behold!  A section of them feared people as or even more than they should have feared Allah.  They said, "Our Lord!  Why have You ordered us to fight?  Would You not grant us respite to our term, near?"  Say, "Short is the enjoyment of this world.  The hereafter is the best for those who do right.  Never will you be dealt with unjustly in the very least!"
