A Global Alternative - Thorium Energy via LFTR

Source Code


I'm running a little behind in keeping up with good movies.  Just this evening I got around to watching "Source Code" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan.  It kind of a sci-fi version of "Groundhog Day" but a lot more.  I was pleasantly surprised.  This is an intelligent movie and one should pay close attention.  I'm very impressed with the director, Duncan Jones.  I'm looking forward to what comes next from him.  I've seen his other movie "Moon" released in 2009 and I would say he has learned a lot and improved his craft significantly, not that "Moon" was a bad movie.
