Pandora's Box

4 Stars

So I went to see why everyone was on Cameron's jock. This film is pretty well done. The new technology was very impressive and the story line does get you deep.

Well done James. Not sure if you'll get Titanic numbers, but you will definitely make some sweet cash off of this one.

Powerful in a Dark Way

Seven Pounds - 4 Stars

Starring Will Smith and Rosario Dawson.

Every time we thought about this film we wonder how it would be. It's one of those films where you must stay engaged throughout.

You don't figure it all out until it's almost over. Very powerful film. Everyone did a great job in it.

Might be an owner. Check it out!

Morgans In Protection

Did You Hear About The Morgans?

3 Stars

Starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. This film was very entertaining and Grant was hilarious as usual.

It was great to see Sam Elliott again. I love all of his work and Wilford Brimley did very well.

Not much of an owner, but a nice movie to see. Especially if you want to see the smart assness of Grant.

Kwanzaa - Day 1

Kwanzaa Dec 26th - Jan 1st

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Kwanzaa. Even those not of African decent.



Case you were wondering here is the definition.



Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance. Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa has come to be observed by more than 18 million people worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional "a" to the end of the spelling to reflect the difference between the African American celebration (kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza). Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day of the observance, and is celebrated from December 26th to January 1st.



Have a happy one.
