The Book of Optics

The Book of Optics (Persian: Ketāb e Manzarehā (کتاب منظره ها) Arabic: Kitāb al-Manāẓir‎ (كتاب المناظر); Latin: De Aspectibus or Opticae Thesaurus: Alhazeni Arabis) was a seven-volume treatise on optics, physics, mathematics, anatomy

and psychology written by the Muslim scientist, Ibn al-Haytham (in Europe, Latinized as Alhacen or Alhazen), from 1011 to 1021, when he was under house arrest in Cairo, Egypt.

The book had an important influence on the development of optics, as it laid the foundations for modern physical optics after drastically transforming the way in which light and vision had been understood, and on science in general with its introduction of the experimental

scientific method. With this new-found revolutionized view of light and vision, this book is actually the first ever effort in recorded human history that is indirectly paving the way to the birth of motion picture.

That is why I choose the blog title as The Book of Optics. In this blog, I will share with you all of the recommended movies for your viewing pleasure. I will also share with you all of the coming soon movies in our cinemas. You can leave your comments (strongly recommended) because I love to spread the spirit of sharing a good movie to you all.

Enjoy reading my blog and opps, before I forget, please kindly feed the fish (the aquarium is at the bottom of this page) when you are visiting this blog. Thank you!

Coming Soon: I Love You Philip Morris

I Love You Phillip Morris is a 2009 film based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell(Jim Carrey).
Jim Carrey stars as Steven Russell. I Love You Phillip Morris will place him in a role which is shockingly different from what many fans would be used to. Jim Carrey had always starred in many well-known and hilarious comedies including The Mask, Bruce Almighty, and the Ace Ventura series. He deviated to much more serious and dark roles in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Number 23. I Love You Phillip Morris will be yet another drastic change from what Jim Carrey has traditionally involved himself with, especially considering the sexual nature of this upcoming film. Ewan McGregor (Star Wars – new trilogy, The Island, Big Fish) will co-star in I Love You Phillip Morris as Jim Carrey’s cell-mate and object of affection. These two actors are promising for their lead casts in I Love You Phillip Morris.









After original difficulty finding a U.S. distributor, likely due to its homosexual content, the film was re-edited. It was recently announced by Variety that Consolidated Pictures Group has acquired the rights for distribution. As of yet, the film has not found distribution for the UK.

The film was adapted from I Love You Phillip Morris: A True Story of Life, Love, and Prison Breaks by Steve McVicker.





Plot


While incarcerated, Russell falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris is released from prison, Russell escapes from prison four times in order to be reunited with Morris.
