Things you can learn watching movies

Last night, I watched two movies. "Take the Lead" with Antonio Banderas and "Silver Hawk" a campy, martial-arts filled comic book hero movie.

Since I lay awake at night, thinking about these types of things...Here are some lessons to be learned from watching movies.

Let's learn from Take the Lead first.

Antonio has "plenty of play". Ok, that's not really a life lesson, but it does have to be said.

If you learn to respect someone, it is difficult to hate that person. WOW! The answer to world peace, right in front of your eyelashes.

Sometimes, making the right decision is painful.

Following takes as much strength as leading. To follow, you must make a choice to let someone else make the decisions..Necessary skills: trust, respect. Difficulty rating: 10

Ok, and now for what we can learn from "Silver Hawk"

Little girls can be mean.

Wearing a mask that only covers half of your face doesn't really protect your identity.

If you are trying to take over the world, don't advertise.

If you are trying to take over the world, you need really good henchmen.

If you are the bad guy, you need to have a self-destruct sequence...bonus points if you can kill the superhero. Too bad those points are only good if you survive.

Black is the new black for bad guys...some things never go out of style.
