UNBROKEN * 101 TWO - LETTER WORDS * GET ON UP

Unbroken - The movie was good. It covers the life story of Louis Zamperini with respect to all the parts that went into someone who would survive at all costs. I disagree with the casting of his nemesis, the Japanese torturer who killed Louie's dream for no other reason but to be cruel. The Japanese guy is small and feminine like, whereas in the book I pictured a heavy-set more robust looking character. I'll have to read the book again to see how he was described.

101 Two-Letter Words by Stephin Merritt -This is Stephin Merritt's book of verse based on the 101 two letter words that are legal in the game of Scrabble. He wrote the poems as a way to memorize the list. The verses are kind of strange, and many don't seem to have anything to do with the definition of the word, but strangely, there is something about each word separate on a page with a picture that helps, compared to a list of the words in alphabetical order.  I know 83 of them for sure, so thinking about it, I only need to memorize 18 more words and I'll have them all. These are the ones I'm unsure of:
AA, AG, AI, BO, DE, FE, LI, LO, MI, MO, MU, NA,OD, OE, OI, PE, SI, and WO.  Actually I know most of them; I'm just not 100% sure of them every time when playing the physical game.  

Get On Up - The life story of James Brown, also known as the Godfather of Soul. It's a great movie with lots of music - the story goes back and forth a little bit, but overall, the movie is good. The most annoying part of the movie is that James Brown had the funniest way of talking - fast and with a funny transpose and sort of mumbly. Then he'd get on stage and his commanding presence would be undeniable, and the mumble would disappear.
