Kon-Tiki II

On a brighter note, we watched the new version of Kon-Tiki last night. I read the book as a kid and watched the movie and loved both. If you haven't seen either, it is the story of Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl sailing from Peru to Polynesia on a balsa wood raft to prove his theory that Polynesia was settled from South America and not Asia, as was commonly believed. The new movie focuses more on friction amongst crew members, but the cinematography is gorgeous and it is still a riveting story. It's currently at Salem Cinema.
