The Age of Adaline
I caught this movie on cable, almost at random and I quite liked it.
I like to see a movie where there is thought, emotion and context. The Age of Adaline features all three. The people are smart and have interesting lives. The main character has a strong emotional problem and the whole story is informed by a rich social and personal history. San Francisco is portrayed in a very interesting way. I would love to have seen more.
The idea of someone having supernatural powers is greatly overdone in American films and is becoming tiresome, but in this case, the idea is handled with subtlety and skill.
Adaline, the central character of the movie, through a freak accident, stops aging in the 1930s. Soon her daughter is an old woman and she herself is still youthful. Eternal youth, however, is not always a blessing as Adaline discovers. The pain of losing friends and lovers to old age becomes intolerable, and so she cuts herself off from any friendships or emotional entanglements. The only exception is here relationships with her pets. There is a scene in the movie where Adaline looks at a photo album of all the dogs that she has owned and that have passed away. There are dozens.
Its not a perfect movie. There are a few holes in the plot, but overall I enjoyed it.

The architecture section will cover the daemons and their functions, the API section will cover HBase's GET, PUT, and SCAN classes; and the schema design section will cover how HBase differs from an RDBMS and the amount of effort to place on schema and row-key design.
