Alexandra Bogdanovic's Blog: That's life... - Posts Tagged "jets"

To paraphrase a famous comedian, this was the kind of day that makes you say hmmm...
First, I finally finished reading London Bridges by James Patterson. It was typical Patterson fare pitting the good guy -- FBI Agent Alex Cross -- against a particularly vicious villain called the Wolf. In this particular story, the Wolf and his crew are causing worldwide mayhem by blowing things up.
I know, I know. What's so strange about that? Well, give me a second and I'll put it in context for you so it makes sense. I just happened to finish reading the damned book the day after a lethal explosion leveled an apartment building (or two) in New York City. Without giving too much away, the Big Apple was one of the cities the Wolf targeted in Patterson's book.
To top things off, I decided that the perfect way to decompress after handling a month's worth of home renovations on my own was to go and see Non-Stop, the (relatively) new Liam Neeson action flick. I'm sure by now most of you have seen the trailer, even if you haven't seen the movie. I won't include any spoilers in case anyone still wants to see it. Let's just say there's some drama on a trans-Atlantic flight.
In my humble opinion, the movie was formulaic but entertaining. Even so, I couldn't really concentrate on the action unfolding on the screen. I was too busy thinking about the real life mystery and drama surrounding the Malaysian airliner that recently vanished into thin air.
When you think about it, there are times when truth definitely is stranger than fiction.
Until next time, "That's life..."
