Weekend movies

I saw these movies last weekend, both are very funny!
What really surprised me were the soundtracks, check them out!

Shoot 'Em Up, well, this is a comedy movie mixed with action, it's very close to trash but sometimes is nice to watch something like this. The soundtrack and the dialogs are cool!

Mr. Hertz: Well I was just remembering a limmerick. There once was a woman who was quite begat. She had three babies named Nat, Pat, and Tat. She said it was fun in the breeding, but found it was hell in the feeding when she saw there was no tit for Tat. You have caused me no end of trouble, but now I shall return the favor. Tit for Tat, right?

Mr. Hertz: Do you know why a gun is better than a wife?
Man Who Rides Shotgun: Dunno.
Mr. Hertz: You can put a silencer on a gun.


Turistas, shot in Brazil! This is more a thriller-comedy movie. The shot at the caves are very nice. The rest of the movie is ups and downs, but the quotes from Zamora are memorable!

Zamora: I'm doing this for a good reason
Zamora: Don't take this personally; if it makes you feel better i'm doing this for a good cause
Zamora: The best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing... but the worst thing is nothing

That's it!

The Productivity Promisers

Last year, I've started to worry more about my productivity and came through Getting Things Done. Last week, I've found this article that explains a lot about this subject, it's an recurring issue..

The Productivity Promisers

"Three big themes....
The first is flow, which entails an understanding of how one processes thoughts and materials when creating value.
The second is focused self-awareness, which involves a conscious understanding of why — from both an immediate and a long-term perspective — one is pursuing objectives.
And the third is instilling new habits, doing what it takes to personally adopt the new productivity practices. "

I like the one about new habits, it's something that I've already figured out but it seems to be not so easy to accomplish. And this is not just about productivity practices, it's about everything you do. You should focus on adopting good habits to have a better living.
