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

December 26th



Umoja (oo-MO-jah)



• Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is reflected in the African saying, "I am We," or "I am because We are."



Happy Kwanzaa

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.

Football Rant

Keep in mind that I am a huge fan of football. With that said:



So I had an little conversation on Facebook yesterday about Plaxio Burress.



Folks are saying that his sentence of 2 years for carrying a loaded weapon in to a NYC club was a bit excessive. "He didn't harm anyone else, but himself." YEAH! Because the dumbass was wearing sweats.



I'm not sure why some of you defend some of the things these guys do. This doesn't stay with athletes, but with other celebrities as well. Now I understand people make mistakes, but there is a difference between that and just being stupid.



I'm going to stop here because normally I don't like to pass judgment, but once in a while it will come out.



They took it easy on Burress. 2 years is nothing for carrying a loaded weapon. He should have gotten more for the way he carried it.



He will be fine and he will return to the NFL just like everyone else when "times served".



BTW, what's up Vick? *SIGH*



Later..........

Business Is A Boomin'

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill
Death Proof
and now

Inglorious Bastards!

Just saw the 6th film by Quinten Tarantino and it was outstanding. The movie starred Brad Pitt and he definitely made the movie. The accent was hilarious and the line were great.

There were a couple of cameos including Mike Myers as a High British Military Official. Not as funny as usual, but was great to see him in it.

I would rate this film as his tied for second best with Kill Bill. Number 1 is of course Pulp Fiction.

Highly recommended to see. Oh and is you do see it, check out who is the narrator.

Until then........

John Hughes Marathon

So about 3 or so weeks late we had a dvd movie marathon in honor and memory of John Hughes.



We started out with Sixteen Candles starring Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and John Cuscak. Haven't seen this film in a long time and I think it was my first time seeing the unedited version. It was great.



The 2nd film was The Breakfast Club with Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson. It has been a long time since I seen this film. It was good, but I feel they really over did it with the drama.



The 3rd and final film was Weird Science starring Anthony Michael Hall, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Kelly LeBrock, Robert Downey and Bill Paxton. Still my favorite Hughes film after Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Favorite scene is when they are in the bar and Gary is talking after he is blitzed. Greatness.



It was fun and I'm glad that some of you guys made it. Not sure what our next marathon is, but I'll look forward to it.



Until then........
