I’ve been waiting for this film to be released, mostly because of Guy Pearce. I’m a great fan of some of his work, particularly LA Confidential and Memento. Although the plot seems to be the typical formula – wrongly convicted man who is offered a chance for freedom by undertaking a highly improbable task of rescuing the President’s daughter, this sci-fi/action film is shot in such a way that looks interesting!

The following are websites which contain more information following the same theme.
1. THE HEALTH GURU
Optimal digestive health is an area that Alex is passionate about. Good eating forms the cornerstone for optimal health. There is an over emphasis on foods for convenience rather than on eating for good health. Foods these days are packaged, processed, refined and then stripped of all nutrients while being packed full of preservatives, chemicals and additives. This is what the modern consumer demands…convenience. High sodium and sugar content make foods flavourful but worsen cardiovascular disease and obesity.
There should be an emphasis on fresh seasonal whole foods. Anything that lives in a can is best left on the shelf. Eat foods which will perish unless consumed within a few days. Eating with the seasons is always the best advice, as not only is food more flavoursome, but it also contains peak amounts of nutrients. Try to eat more foods which contain colour. Reds, greens, blue, orange, purple… you name it – if it has colour then it’s bound to be packed full of anti-oxidants.
Ales Simring has also written some useful information at the Health Guru. He has a special interest in eating foods for energy. Sugar seems to be the worst poison when it comes to draining energy. There is an excellent book called Sweet Poison by David Gillespie which outlines just how bad all of the fructose can be! I don’t necessarily think fructose is the only bad sugar, rather that all refined sugars have more or less the same bad health effects. There seems to be a trend in the recognition that high GI foods, refined sugars and carbohydrates have poor health outcomes. Over the past decade, the emphasis has slowly been shifting from low fat diets to low carbohydrate diets. I don’ think that there should be excessive limitations in any food group, but rather balanced healthy eating should be the cornerstone of optimal nutrition. Nevertheless, reducing refined sugars should be the number one health goal. This will not only improve insulin resistance and help reduce the development of the metabolic syndrome, but will also help reduce weight, improve energy levels and dampen that pesky sweet tooth!
