Before the Devil Knows You're Dead..

Good morning 2o2p.  It's Monday, are you ready?

Today is the first day in my reattempt to tackle a new diet.
About a year ago I had the will to not only start the South Beach Diet, but also live by it for many months.
The end result was a healthy weight loss of about 15 lbs & a definite better feeling of health.
Unfortunately, through some life changes, I decided to drop the diet.

This morning I take another step towards living a healthier lifestyle.
The weekend was good, with the birthday & holiday both giving me excuses to over-eat & drink, but now it's time to get a stranglehold on the lovehandles. 
Wish me luck.

Last night I watched a movie called "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead", with Phillip Seymor Hoffman, Ethan Hawk & Marissa Tomie.
The flick was about two brothers, both neck deep in financial misery, who decide to make a quick buck by robbing their own family's jewelry store.
They figure since the merchandise is insured & neither of the parents will be working there, both of them know the safe combos & they aren't any security guards, what could possibly go wrong. 
No harm, no foul right?

The heist goes terribly wrong & the movie shows the epic decline of two men's will to not get caught or go to jail, at their own families expense.

In the end, I personally thought the story was good but the acting was incredible.
I wasn't a big fan of the scene transitions...a lot like 'Vantage Point', but I can't say enough about the amazing performances by Hoffman & Hawk.

Worth a rental?  Yes.

and I like where they got the name of the movie..
An old quote:  "May you be in heaven 30 minutes before the Devil knows you're dead."

Good luck today.
Monday's are a pain.
