Reel Time: The Strangers

Absolutely horrifying film, yet somewhat horribly done. Based on actual events. Starring Liv Tyler and some other guy who looks like Gerard Butler.
Shows how even if you have a rifle in the middle of nowhere in your vacation cabin, it doesn't matter, especially if you panic and lose cover. You're done. Spoiler alert ahead.
First off, you don't answer the door without looking through the peephole to see who it is. If a peephole does not exist, ask "who is it?"
Nada. Girl looking for wrong house. Just a glimpse of the terror as these people "play" with the couple for hours before doing anything else as they don elephant man disguises and other masks. Their phone lines are cut, vehicles destroyed in the middle of nowhere.
A wedding reception friend visits, is accidentally shot by terrorized pal, who then goes looking for perpetrators victimizing them.
Emotion overtakes him and leads to the couple's demise later. Don't go looking in the woods with no cover.
He's out in the open in the woods. The weapon is turned against him.
Lesson: Stay in one place, don't panic, have a plan and plenty of bullets.
Sorry for the lame review but the movie left much to be desired, especially at the end. Tell us what really happened to that couple, if anyone was brought to justice.
The evangelical kids in the end asking the threesome of terrorists if they're sinners does not quite do it for me, even when they answer "sometimes."
Still, truly terrifying.
I'd give it two stars out of four. Now pack heat and learn how to use it if you live in the middle of nowhere or anywhere at all you want to protect your property.

Hard Water is Good for You and other Blue Zone topics

Daniel Buettner tracked "Blue Zones" and wrote a book about it, featured on Oprah. The zones are areas where people live over 90 plus years in active lives.
One area surprisingly found that hard water, due to its magnesium and calcium content was good.
So much for spring water.
Family, purpose and physical activity as well as diet were common threads in blue zones.
A few blue zones were included in Nicoya Peninsula Costa Rica, Loma Linda, California, and Sardinia, Italy.
Interesting indeed.
