What I'm Watching #303

Set in New Zealand, it's rather a predictable story line with cliché moments, my favorite coming right after one the characters accuses another one of being cliché.  I think the whole "Whale Rider" association led me to expect more.

Earthquake Hot Spot

After another significant quake in Japan just moments ago (6.4) on the north east coast, the earth is a shakin' still. In Japan, it hasn't stopped since the major quake of 11 March 2011. And it's shaking in major ways in new places, too. There have been a huge increase in notable small quakes around the island of Puerto Rico, and in the Western U.S. all around Yellowstone N.P. in Wyoming. A recent rash of larger activity has shaken the ocean floors along the Pacific coast of Central America.

And a much more noticeable set of quakes has begun to occur along a fault line near the remote island of Raoul in the southwestern Pacific between Fiji and New Zealand. The image only shows the activity for the last week, altogether there have been dozens of quakes the strongest registering 7.6 on July 7, 2001.

It's the oldest story in the book: boy meets boy, girl meets girl, girl meets boy....well, maybe not the oldest story!

Set in New Zealand, it's really the story of 6 flawed people covering 4 types of sexuality and two generations (aging X and Next) who come together to discover a new trick or two. It's interesting and only occasionally uncomfortable (read: melodramitic).
