Let’s Talk About Movies Anis Tabet English http://tlkabtmovies.wordpress.com/ @AnisTabet23

Anis is a young, enthusiastic movie buff. The reason why I mention young is because this guy has reviewed movies both present and past. His movie knowledge ranges from the most recent blockbusters, to the 1920’s black and white movies. The quality of the reviews are excellent and very informative, and gives you his opinion helping you choose whether to go forward with your movie choice. We all know that many of the top movies out there are old movies that we haven’t heard about or had occasion to see, and sometimes even though we have the vast internet at our disposal, we still don’t know where to start and what movie to choose for our Thursday DVD night. Lucky us, we have our own friendly Lebanese blogger right at the URL you see above. Head to his blog, check it out, if you don’t find what you’re looking for, just send a question his way.

LILIANE’S CHOICE

BEST CUBE REVIEW www.thecubelb.com Reviewer Fadi Book “Blink” by Malcolm Gladwell

“Ever wondered how your intuition sometimes guides you to the right decision long before your ‘rational self’ gets a chance to properly examine the situation? Do you wonder what it is that happens when you make a decision that just ‘feels right’? Blink attempts to explain those ‘moments when we know something without knowing why’. In the brilliant story-telling style of Malcolm Gladwell, Blink tells the stories of an art expert that could recognize a fake sculpture after mere seconds of looking

at it, a marriage counsellor who could predict the longevity of a new marriage by thin-slicing through only the first three minutes of a marital argument, the tall men who tend to get elected more often to important positions, African-American students who are unconsciously racist against themselves, and the ER chief who dramatically improved his hospital’s heart attack diagnosis success rate by providing less information about the patients to the doctors. By revealing facts that seem highly counter-intuitive, Gladwell unlocks secrets

of how we can learn to use our intuition for better decision-making, and warns of when our intuition can play against us. Whether you’re interested in marketing, psychology, or simply curious about the way your own (and other people’s) heads work, Blink is the kind of book that you will read with fascination, then as soon as you’re done, read again. Quoting the jacket of the book, ‘By trusting your instincts, you’ll never think about thinking in the same way again’. I highly recommend it.”
