Subtle, and complex
The sooner the film world accepts that Donnie Darko is a subtle ode to the joys of Scientology, the sooner the great mass of ill-informed and ignorant critics can sleep easy.
Also, in re-examining Jack the Bodice-Ripper flick From Hell the other evening, I was reminded of that film's complex message of the power of progress. In suggesting that late 19th century London was literally 'hell', the filmmakers are able to show us, the viewers, just how far we have come as a society in terms of medical efficiency. And while Harold Shipman may not have been everyone's cup of tea, at least his handiwork was a damn sight tidier than the messy surgical murderers of times past.

A reference to Spike Lee's seminal 'Girl 6', I presume. I take my hat off to you, sir.
I was see semenal Girlies 5 and Girlies 7 but I'm never see Girl 6. I'm like porns to much. Are you review the porns?
Dear Mr Milano
Although many fine directors - I'm thinkig specifically of Ron Howard here - have made their first foray into the world filmmaking via pornogaphic efforts, I find this particular genre has simply too many mountins of dung, metaphorically speaking - and litterally, as well, at times - for me to unearth the real nuggets of gold hidden therein.
The film I was referring to was made by Spike Lee, an American, and deals with the rising cost of modern living through the metaphor of premium rate telephone services. Indeed, many of Lee's films address similar themes. Do The Right Thing, for instance, was motivated by the inner city hostilities brought on by a spate of littering, while his recent The 11th Hour was a ghost story of sorts, dealing with the paucity of time afforded us modern types, and employing the device of the title - ie, a watch with only 11 hours on it - to visualise our fractured existence.
His masterpiece, however, remains Mo' Better Blues, a study on the pointlessness of existence. Lee's point is amply demonstrated via the medium of jazz music, the most pointless thing known to man, and its utter tedium is used as a motif to hammer home the film's nihilistic message.
I hope I've inspired you, my Spanish friend, to seek out and watch some of these modern masterpieces for yourself.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
