Happy Thanksgiving
November 27, 2008I’m stuffed! There’s a lot of food here. Actually… there’s too much food here. Good enough to last a week. We wanted to watch a movie today in the theaters but we’re way to full to even go out. Time to sleep and let it all settle down and digest.
Harry Potter was supposed to come out around this time but it got pushed to next year because of Rowling’s new book. They didn’t want all the attention towards the new book! How dumb!!! I was looking forward to this one.
Lions for Lambs
May 9, 2008I know I talk about movies that I really like or enjoy. Or movies that are “the best one so far”… and this might seem like a complete cliche, but since I’m leaving for the desert tomorrow, I have to say that this movie is very fitting for us – to all of us leaving our families behind to fight for something, to serve our Flag… for freedom…
There’s a line in the movie where the professor is talking to his student… “Rome is burning… do you try to manuever your way around the edges of the flame…” And when asked by his student the “what if” question… the professor (Redford) responds… “At least you did something.” Also, the movie’s presentation about the ongoing decline in education is really phenomenal. I agree with the two characters who suggested getting rid of the junior year in school to volunteer somewhere… whether ROTC, Peace Corps, etc.
The movie also touched on the influence or role of the media in certain situations. Sometimes we cannot help but believe what we see in the news whether true or not. Also, most of the time, we just don’t have a freaking clue on what’s going on.
I’d hate to say this but, this movie is definitely one of the best. And I really hope and pray that everyone would get a chance to watch it. The writer really did an exceptional job! The movie is pretty sad… yet, it gave me hope! And trust me, this movie will make you want to do something!
Tony Stark

Ironman comes out today!!! Yes bitches! Here’s a few reasons why I like Ironman:
First, he does not have any super special powers – he just has a lot of money! Just like Bruce Wayne – this mofo is soooooo freaking filthy rich! Still human, but somewhat invincible. Second, he gets a lot of p**sy (maybe ‘coz he’s rich hahaha). Not sure why that’s important really. And lastly, he realized that helping humankind is the best thing ever! Yaay!!!
On a serious note… I truly believe that Downey Jr. was perfect for this role. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I believe his acting and his personality really fits Tony Stark. He’s one of my favorite actors out there. I wrote about the movie "A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints" awhile back. He was truly exceptional in that movie. But the movie in itself was really awesome. And if you haven’t seen it yet, you ought to. It’s one of the best films I have seen to date.
I’m watching this movie with the fam today!
