Heart of a Soldier
Soldier- is a goid sci-fi action film. I like how kurt russell's charcter is mute for like most of the movie. He only says a few lines and thats it.

The plot: Todd (Kurt Russell) has been trained since birth, through brutal conditioning, to be an emotionless killing machine. After 40 years, Todd and his comrades are deemed obsolete when Col. Mekum (Jason Isaacs) promotes a new breed of genetically flawless soldiers. Discarded on the trash-covered planet of Arcadia 234, Todd is rescued by colonists Mace (Sean Pertwee) and Sandra (Connie Nielsen) -- but he's soon forced to face his stronger replacements when the military seeks to wipe out the colony.

Its a good movie.

Karin broke my heart with this one. From beginning to end, so many questions about Will, his past, his parents, were finally answered. We learn a little more about Amanda, from back in the '70s. We're taken through the events that led up to Will's birth and his mother's demise. By the end, I was fighting tears. Criminal is, without a doubt, the most emotional Will Trent book I've read thus far. Now that the past has been settled, it's time to focus on the present: Is Will going to nurture his new relationship with Sara or will Angie's latest act bring him back to her? This is one love triangle I honestly can't wait to end, but I'm still excited to see what happens next.

"Essentially an autobiography tracing the author’s own family’s move from Europe to what is now Israel and the disappointment of immigration. His mother killed herself, and he’s spent much of his life creating scenarios of why that happened. The process of meditating on her life makes him into a writer. The book is also about the birth of a language. He talks about his great-uncle, who was one of the architects of modern Hebrew, and how there didn’t used to be a word for shirt until he created it, because Hebrew had been a biblical language. It’s so interesting to think about what comes before the process of naming something—how you struggle when you don’t have the words to say what you feel."
