Movies

I'm going to recap some of the recent movies I have seen and give a brief review.

From best to worst:

1) The Dark Knight

Probably the best movie of 2008. I really liked Batman Begins, so I was already looking forward to this one. It exceeded my expectations. It has gotten great reviews, rightly so in my opinion.

2) Pineapple Express

Great comedy! I wouldn't recommend this for the kids, but I had some serious laughing fits during this movie. I have never done drugs, but I laugh at this movie like I was high. I loved it!

3) Wanted

I liked this movie. It was a movie that you can't take to serious, but the action is awesome. I thought the acting was good too. I definitely recommend this one.

4) Twilight

I've read the books, (I know I'm a pansy) and this movie follows the book rather well in my opinion. Problem is that I thought the book & movie weren't very good. It is geared toward women, plain & simple. I wouldn't recommend this movie or book unless you like the constant "getting lost in each others eyes..." crap.

5) Step Brothers

Had some very funny parts, but very crude & vulgar. I would recommend skipping this one.

6) Eagle Eye

I thought I would love this one, but nope. I thought the action & special effects were great, but the storyline was weak. Simply put, I didn't like this movie at all.

Movies that I really want to see:

1) Bedtime Stories

2) Taken

3) Appaloosa

4) Gran Torino

5) Doubt

6) RocknRolla

Anything I missed?

Review of 24

I'm not going to say a whole lot and just get to the point.

I would give the first 4 hours of season 7: 4 out of 5 stars.

I am very excited about this season. There are already lots of twists & turns to keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

Great show and highly entertaining. It's good to have Jack back.

The time has come

The long wait is finally over. 24 season 7 is on tonight! Tonight is a 2 hour premiere with another 2 hours tomorrow!

It's on tonight & tomorrow on Fox @ 7pm MTS.

Or you can watch it online here.

Watch for my review later this week!

Oh Yeah!

Do I cancel my Facebook?

I have to vent for a minute...I hate Facebook. Most of my really good friends don't have a facebook page and all of them have laughed out loud when I told them that I had one. I rarely even check the stupid page and when I do I have an enormous list of friend requests, or racing a car, or accepting a hug, or being nominated for one thing or another, it is very irritating.

I'm not bashing any of you that enjoy facebook and spend a lot of time there. More power to you, if it helps you stay connected with friends & family I say do it. But for me it does nothing but annoy me.

I enjoy blogging though, so maybe I'm a hypocrite of sorts. Facebook is not the same as blogging, but they are like 1st cousins.

I have been contemplating dropping my facebook because I think it is crap. I have tried to search out some long lost buddies and none of them are on facebook. But some of my ex-girlfriends are...so maybe I should hook up with them online? Nah.

It seems like most people on either myspace or facebook become competitive of how many friends they can have. Some have over 1,000 friends?!? Really? You know over 1,000 people personally? Maybe you have read "How to win friends & influence people" and applied it beyond all expectations, or you are a liar and a loser. One or the other, take your pick.

What to look forward to in 2009

Now that 2008 is over and 2009 is kickin in I thought I would go over a few things to look forward to in this upcoming year (in no particular order).

1) The possible end of the current economic recession.

2) My room/garage conversion done. (finally, I know!)









3) A whole new season of 24!

4) Guitar Hero - Metallica!!


5) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen











6) Seeing Amberly crawl and possibly take her first steps









That is a pretty good list and it really pumps me up for this next year. Everyone has things that they can look forward to, even if some of them are superficial and dumb.

And for the record, Transformers are not dumb. Those that think Transformers are dumb will get an order of Tom's fresh knuckle sandwich with a side order of butt whoopin.
