MOVIE REVIEWS: 25 MOVIES I REVIEWED FOR YOU-MORE TO COME

WELL SINCE I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR HOLLYWOOD VIDEO FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS I HAVE SEEN MANY MOVIES.  I HAVE GIVEN REVIEWS ON SOME OF THE MOVIES I HAVE SEEN BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF I GIVE A NICE LIST OF THE MANY MOVIES I HAVE SEEN AND GIVE YOU MY TAKE ON THEM.  FOR MORE IN DEPTH REVIEWS YOU CAN VISIT MY WORK SITE AT HTTP://WWW.HOLLYWOODVIDEO.COM  …..ANYWAY, HERE IS MY LIST OF 25 MOVIES I HAVE RENTED AND A  BRIEF REVIEW OF EACH MOVIE:

1. ” THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR”-  THIS THIRD INSTALLMENT OF THE MUMMY STARRING BRENDAN FRASER HAS HIS TEAM BATTLING A RESURRECTED HAN EMPEROR.  IT WAS A DECENT MOVIE BUT NOT AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TWO MUMMY MOVIES.  I WAS HOPING FOR MORE IN THIS  MOVIE BUT IT HAD SOME GOOD ACTION AND HUMOR SIMILAR TO THE FIRST TWO.  OVERALL GRADE  C+

2. “APOSTLES OF COMEDY”- GOOD CLEAN STAND UP COMEDY FROM SEVERAL CHRISTIAN COMEDIANS.  THESE GUYS ARE FUNNY AND IT IS GOOD CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY.  YOU WILL LAUGH!!  OVERALL GRADE  B+

3. “BANGKOK DANGEROUS”- NICHOLAS CAGE MOVIE WHICH DEPICTS HIM AS A HIT-MAN.  THIS MOVIE IS NOT ONE OF HIS BEST BUT CAGE IS SOLID.  NOT REALLY MISSING MUCH NOT SEEING THIS FILM BUT IT WAS JUST OKAY.  GRADE IS C-

4. “EAGLE EYE”-  SHIA LABEOUF STAR OF “TRANSFORMERS” STARS IN THIS ACTION THRILLER ABOUT HOW TWO STRANGERS BECOME PAWNS OF A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN THAT KNOWS EVERY MOVE THEY MAKE.  THIS MOVIE WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT.  MUST SEE FILM!!  GRADE IS A B+

5. “RIGHTEOUS KILL”- ROBERT DE NIRO AND AL PACINO ARE TWO VETERAN DETECTIVES THAT WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY A RECENT MURDER AND A CASE THEY WORKED ON YEARS AGO.  THIS MOVIE HAS A PLOT TWIST AND SUSPENSE THAT WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING TO THE END.  THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE.  OVERALL GRADE WAS A B+

6. “THE HOUSE BUNNY”- ANNA FARIS STARS IN THIS MOVIE AS A PLAYBOY BUNNY THAT BECOMES A SONORITY HOUSEMOTHER WHEN SHE IS THROWN OUT ON THE STREETS. I DID NOT SEE THIS MOVIE BUT MY WIFE, PAM, SAW THIS MOVIE AND SAID IT WAS BASICALLY STUPID.  THERE WAS SOME FUNNY PARTS IN THE MOVIE BUT OVERALL SHE IS GLAD SHE DID NOT PAY FOR IT.  SHE GAVE IT A C-

7. “BABYLON A.D.”- VIN DIESEL STARS IN THIS ACTION MOVIE AS A MERCENARY CHARGED WITH DELIVERING A YOUNG WOMAN FROM RUSSIA TO CANADA.  THIS MOVIE WAS INTERESTING AND THE PLOT SOMETIMES MAKES NO SENSE BUT THERE IS SOME GOOD ACTION SCENES.  NOT MY FAVORITE VIN DIESEL MOVIE BUT WAS JUST OKAY.  GRADE WAS C+

8.  “MIRRORS”- KEIFER SUTHERLAND STARS IN THIS HORROR FILM AS A MALL SECURITY GUARD THAT LEARNS ABOUT AN EVIL MYSTERY INVOLVING MIRRORS WHICH SEEM TO SHOW THE EVIL SIDE OF PEOPLE.  THIS MOVIE WAS OKAY AND IT WAS AN INTERESTING PLOT.  I WILL SAY I WILL NEVER VIEW MIRRORS THE SAME WAY AGAIN.  LOL…….THERE WAS SOME ACTION AND SCARY SCENES BUT THE PLOT HAS SOME FLAWS.  SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOU THINK.  MY GRADE WAS A C

9.  “THE FAMILY THAT PREYS”- THIS TYLER PERRY MOVIE SHOWS HOW TWO FAMILY’S VERY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER.  I DID NOT SEE THIS MOVIE BUT PAM DID AND SHE LIKED IT.  SHE SAID IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE AND GAVE IT A B……

10.  “SWING VOTE”- THIS KEVIN COSTNER FILM HAS KEVIN PLAYING A ROLE OF A DAD WHO’S VOTE WILL DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS WAS A GOOD MOVIE WITH A GOOD MESSAGE.  KEVIN PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE DAD WHO FIGURES OUT HOW TO BE A REAL DAD AND A REAL ROLE MODEL FOR HIS DAUGHTER. HAS SOME FUNNY THINGS IN THIS MOVIE AND A HEARTFELT MESSAGE.  MY GRADE IS A B-

11. “THE TENTH CIRLCE”- KELLY PRESTON STARS IN THIS MYSTERY MOVIE AS A MOTHER WHO’S DAUGHTER EXCUSES HER EX-BOYFRIEND OF RAPING HER.  THIS TURNS THE TOWN UPSIDE DOWN.  THE PLOT TWISTS IN THIS MOVIE ARE INTERESTING AND YOU WILL BE GUESSING.  NOT A POPULAR MOVIE BUT WAS VERY INTERESTING.  MY GRADE IS A C+

12. “SECRET LIFE OF BEES”- QUEEN LATIFAH AND DAKOTA FANNING STAR IN THIS MOVIE OF A TEENAGE GIRL THAT IS HAUNTED BY THE MEMORY OF HER LATE MOTHER.  I DID NOT SEE THIS MOVIE BUT MY PARENT DID.  THEY ENJOYED THIS MOVIE AND GAVE IT A GREAT REVIEW.  GRADE B-

13.  “INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL”- HARRISON FORD RETURNS AS INDIANA JONES IN HIS QUEST TO RACE AGAINST THE SOVIETS TO FIND THE SECRETS AND MYSTERIES OF THE CYRSTAL SKULL.  THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE WITH A LOT OF ACTION AND SUSPENSE.  THIS MOVIE WAS VERY SIMILAR TO RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK.  THIS IS AN INTERESTING STORY LINE THAT HAS SEVERAL TWISTS AND TURNS THAT MAKE IT INTERESTING. A MUST SEE FOR ANY INDIANA JONES FAN……GRADE A-

14.”BODY OF LIES”- LEONARDO DICAPRIO AND RUSSELL CROWE STAR IN THIS ACTION ADVENTURE OF A FORMER JOURNALIST HIRED BY THE CIA TO TRACK DOWN AN AL QAEDE LEADER IN JORDAN. THIS MOVIE HAD AN INTERESTING PLOT BUT THE BEST PART OF THIS MOVIE IS DICAPRIO AND CROWE.  GREAT ACTING FROM BOTH OF THEM.  THIS WAS NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES BUT IT WAS OKAY.  MY GRADE WAS C+

15.  “QUARANTINE”- JENNIFER CARPENTER PLAYS A NEWS REPORTER IN THIS HORROR MOVIE THAT DOES A NEWS REPORT ON LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS THAT ARE CALLED TO INVESTIGATE AN APARTMENT BUILDING WHERE SOMETHING DEADLY TAKES PLACE.  INTERESTING PLOT IN THIS MOVIE AT FIRST BUT I FOUND THIS HORROR MOVIE SIMILAR TO NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD AND OTHER MOVIES.  PREDICTABLE WITH NOT MANY ANSWERS.  IT WAS OKAY BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE PAID FOR IT……..GRADE IS A C

16.  “THE CHANGELING”- ANGELINA JOLIE STARS AS A MOTHER WHO’S SON IS KIDNAPPED THEN RETURNED BUT QUESTIONS WHETHER OR NOT IT IS HER SON.  THIS MOVIE IS BASED UPON A TRUE STORY AND SOME OF THE CONTENT IN THIS MOVIE IS DISTURBING BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON TRUE EVENTS.  I AM NOT AN ANGELINA JOLIE FAN BUT I WILL SAY SHE WON ME WHILE WATCHING THIS MOVIE. SHE IS OUTSTANDING!!  THIS MOVIE IS SAD BUT THE DETERMINATION OF THIS CHARACTER IS AWESOME!!  SIMPLY A MUST SEE MOVIE……GRADE B+

17.  “THE HAUNTING OF MOLLY HARTLEY”-  HALEY BENNETT STARS AS A TEENAGER WHO DISCOVERS THAT HER PARENTS MADE A PACT WITH THE DEVIL TO SAVE HER LIFE.  I WAITED TO SEE THIS MOVIE BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT PAY FOR IT.  THIS MOVIE WAS SO PREDICTABLE AND NOT VERY GOOD.  IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A HALLOWEEN EPISODE OF 90210.  THE PLOT WAS KIND OF PREDICTABLE AND THIS MOVIE WAS NOT SCARY.  SIMPLY PUT GO RENT SOMETHING ELSE…..GRADE C-

18. “THE EXPRESS”- DENNIS QUAID STARS IN THIS MOVIE AS THE COLLEGE COACH FOR ERNIE DAVIS WHO WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN TO WIN THE HEISMAN TROPHY.  THIS IS BASED ON THE TRUE STORY OF ERNIE DAVIS.  THIS IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE WITH OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES FROM DENNIS QUAID AND ROB BROWN.  IT IS A FEEL GOOD MOVIE WITH MANY POSITIVE MESSAGES OF DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE.  A MUST SEE FOR ANY FOOTBALL FAN.  I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE AND GAVE IT AN A-

19.  “THE WOMEN”- MEG RYAN, ANNETE BENING AND BETTE MIDLER STAR IN THIS STAR CASTED DRAMA COMEDY WHICH FINDS A CONTEMPORARY TV PERSONALITY FINDS OUT THAT HER HUSBAND IS HAVING AN AFFAIR. THIS IS NOT MY PREFERRED GENRE OF A MOVIE BUT WHAT I SAW WAS FUNNY.  HOWEVER, MY WIFE FOUND THIS MOVIE TO BE A GOOD MOVIE.  OVERALL GRADE WAS A B-

20.  “LAKEVIEW TERRACE”-  SAMUEL JACKSON STARS AS A LAPD OFFICER THAT STOPS AT NOTHING TO FORCE OUT AN INTERRACIAL COUPLE THAT MOVES INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS MOVIE WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT AND JACKSON PLAYS A GOOD BAD GUY.  INTERESTING PLOT TWIST IN THIS MOVIE BUT WHAT IS INTERESTING IS THAT THIS COULD REALLY HAPPEN.  YOU WILL HAVE TO SEE THE MOVIE TO UNDERSTAND IT.  THIS IS A SUSPENSE MOVIE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT.  I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE OVERALL.  MY GRADE B-

22. “AUSTRALIA”- NICOLE KIDMAN AND HUGH JACKMAN STAR IN THIS DRAMA IN WHICH AN ENGLISH ARISTOCRAT PACKS WITH A STOCKMAN IN ORDER TO PROTECT HER NEW PROPERTY FROM A TAKEOVER PLOT.  THIS HAPPENS BEFORE WORLD WAR II.  THIS MOVIE WAS INTERESTING AND LONG BUT GOOD OVERALL.  GREAT ACTING PERFORMANCES.  GRADE B-

23. “VACANCY”- LUKE WILSON AND KATE BECKINSALE STAR IN THIS HORROR FILM IN WHICH A COUPLE IS STRANDED AT A ISOLATED HOTEL IN WHICH MURDERS ARE FILMED IN THE HOTEL THEY STAY AT.  THIS MOVIE HAD AN INTERESTING PLOT BUT IT WAS WILSON AND BECKINSALE’S PERFORMANCE THAT MADE THIS MOVIE.  I AM GLAD I DID NOT PAY FOR THIS MOVIE.  MY OVERALL GRADE WAS A C

24.  “VACANCY 2: THE FIRST CUT”- THIS IS THE PREQUEL TO THE ORIGINAL VACANCY.  AGNES BRUCKNER STARS IN THIS HORROR FLICK WHICH SHOWS THE BEGINNINGS OF MR SMITH AND HIS HOTEL MURDERS.  THIS MOVIE BASICALLY WAS TERRIBLE AND NOT WORTH RENTING.  MY GRADE D

25.  “FIREPROOF”- KIRK CAMERON STARS IN THIS DRAMA THAT SHOWS A FIREFIGHTER AND HIS WIFE TAKE A 40 DAY EXPERIMENT TO SAVE THEIR MARRIAGE.  THIS MOVIE WAS GOOD AND HAD A GOOD MESSAGE THAT IS REDEEMING AND POSITIVE.  OVERALL GRADE B-

I HAVE IN MY PAST BLOGS REVIEWED SOME OF THESE MOVIES SO YOU CAN LOOK BACK.  HOWEVER, THESE 25 MOVIES I PICKED TO REVIEW BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF YOU MAY RENT THEM OR ALREADY HAVE RENTED THEM.  PLEASE, LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS…….BE NICE TO HEAR SOME OF YOU GIVE FEEDBACK……..

APRIL 10TH: HERE IS MY 2009 MLB PREDICTIONS

I WANT TO GIVE YOU MY 2009 MLB PREVIEW AND LET YOU SEE WHAT I THINK WILL HAPPEN THIS SEASON……….THIS IS ONLY MY PERSONAL PREDICTIONS AND IF YOU LOOK AT MY 2008 PREDICTIONS I DID NOT EVEN  HAVE TAMPA BAY ON THE RADAR……..NOBODY DID!!!  WHO WILL BE THE SURPRISE TEAM THIS YEAR?????  HMNN……..READ ON TO FIND OUT…..

AL EAST:

I TRULY BELIEVE THE REDSOX WILL WIN THIS DIVISION IN-SPITE OF THE 1-2 START.  THEY HAVE THE PITCHING, BULLPEN AND OFFENSE THAT CAN WIN.  THE QUESTION WILL BE HEALTH……..IF INJURIES HIT THE OFFENSE OF STARTING PITCHING I BELIEVE THIS TEAM WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS….YOU REALLY CAN SAY THAT ABOUT ANY TEAM……THE RAYS ARE FOR REAL FOLKS!!!  THIS TAMPA BAY TEAM IS BETTER AND YOUNG.  THIS IS THE TEAM THAT WILL CHALLENGE THE REDSOX ALONG WITH THE YANKEES.  I THINK TAMPA WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN BUT AS A WILDCARD, I HOPE……LOL…….WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THE YANKEES???  LOL………THEY SPENT WAY TO MUCH FOR PITCHING BUT THE PITCHING LOOKS GOOD.  THEY HAVE A GOOD LINEUP  BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BULLPEN???  DO YOU THINK BETTER THAN TAMPA OR BOSTON???  NOT!!!!  YANKEES WILL CHALLENGE FOR PLAYOFF SPOT BUT I HOPE AND THINK THEY WILL FALL JUST SHORT……OH WELL!!!  LOL………WHAT ABOUT BALTIMORE AND TORONTO???  DO ANY OF THESE TEAMS HAVE A CHANCE TO CHALLENGE BOSTON, NY OR TAMPA???  NOT!!! LOL………I GIVE TORONTO A CHANCE……THEY HAVE YOUNG PITCHERS BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL BE ENOUGH…….BALTIMORE???? SAME STORY I AM AFRAID…..START WELL AND FINISH BAD………….MY AL WINNER IS BOSTON WITH TAMPA BEING THE WILDCARD……

AL CENTRAL:

FLIP A COIN FOR THIS DIVISION.  LOL…….I MEAN WHO REALLY HAS THE EDGE HERE????  I THOUGHT INDIANS LAST YEAR BUT THEY FELL APART.  THE TWINS ARE ALWAYS TOUGH AND WHO KNOWS ABOUT THE WHITESOX AND TIGERS.  I CAN SAFELY SAY THE ROYALS WILL NOT BE THE RAYS OF 08.  LOL……..SORRY ROYAL FANS THIS TEAM DOES HAVE SOME TALENT BUT DO NOT THINK THEY WILL WIN OVER 90 GAMES……MAYBE 70 WINS TO 80 BUT THAT IS IT………LOL……TIGERS???  WHO KNOWS……LOL…….THEY HAVE SOME PITCHING BUT HOLES IN THE LINEUP AND BULLPEN…….MY GUT FEELING SAYS WATCH OUT FOR THE WHITESOX…….DO NOT KNOW WHY BUT I GET A FEELING LIKE 2005 WHEN THEY WON IT ALL……I AM NOT SAYING THEY WILL WIN THE WORLD SERIES BUT THEY COULD WIN THE CENTRAL.  ANYWAY, IN THIS CENTRAL MESS I STILL THINK THE INDIANS WILL BOUNCE BACK TO WIN THIS DIVISION WITH A FIERCE RACE BETWEEN THEM AND CHICAGO.  THE TWINS WILL BE IN IT TOO BUT I THINK THE INDIANS WILL PREVAIL WITH A 90-72 RECORD…….LOWEST RECORD TO GO INTO PLAYOFFS……..WATCH THE ROYALS MAKE SOME STEPS THIS YEAR TO WIN OVER 70 GAMES BUT DO NOT EXPECT MIRACLES……LOL……..MY AL CENTRAL TEAM IS INDIANS….

AL WEST:

I THINK THE ANGELS HANDS DOWN WIN THIS DIVISION EASILY AGAIN. THEY HAVE IT ALL!!  PITCHING, OFFENSE, BULLPEN AND DEFENSE.  THIS TEAM COULD WIN THIS DIVISION EARLY BUT THEY MAY HAVE A TEAM THAT MIGHT BE A PAIN TO THEM.  TEXAS RANGERS????  LOL……..NOT!!!  THIS TEAM STILL GIVE UP A LOT OF RUNS AND WHO IS THE CLOSER IN TEXAS???  LOL………..I THINK THE RANGERS WILL FINISH LIKE THEY USUALLY DO………THE A’S WILL BE INTERESTING WITH GIAMBI BACK BUT I THINK THEY WILL NOT HAVE MUCH TO OFFER AGAINST THE ANGELS.  THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO BE THERE IN-SPITE OF A LOWER BUDGET.  I THINK THE A’S WILL BE IN SECOND AGAIN BUT FINISH AT LEAST 10 OR MORE GAMES BEHIND THE ANGELS…….MARINERS????  WELL THEY WERE TERRIBLE LAST YEAR AND REALLY DO NOT SEE MUCH FROM THIS TEAM EITHER………MY AL WEST WINNER WILL BE THE ANGELS HANDS DOWN………NO SURPRISES HERE……

NL EAST:

THIS DIVISION SHOULD BE FUN TO WATCH THIS YEAR.  YOU GOT THE DEFENDING WORLD CHAMPIONS PHILLIES ALONG WITH THE METS AND BRAVES.  A YOUNG TEAM OF THE MARLINS AND WASHINGTON.  WELL I THINK EVERYONE BUT WASHINGTON HAS A CHANCE TO WIN THIS DIVISION.  PITCHING, OFFENSE AND GOOD DEFENSE WILL BE THE KEY.  DERRICK LOWE WITH THE BRAVES IS GREAT FOR THE PITCHING THERE BUT IS IT ENOUGH???  WHAT ABOUT THE METS???  WILL THEY CL-APSE AGAIN???  CAN THE PHILLIES WIN THE DIVISION AGAIN???  YES THEY CAN BUT I DO NOT THINK SO…………WATCH FOR THE MARLINS PHILLIES AND METS BATTLE IT ALL OUT TILL THE END AND DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE METS VIS THE PHILLIES VIS THE MARLINS IN A ONE GAME PLAYOFF………..MY PREDICTION FOR NL WINNER WILL BE THE METS………..PHILLIES GET THE WILDCARD…………

NL CENTRAL:

I THINK THIS COULD BE THE YEAR OF THE CUBS.  I THINK THEY WIN THIS DIVISION BUT MILLWAUKEE WILL CHALLENGE THEM ALL YEAR AGAIN.  THE CUBS HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.  THE BREWERS ARE GOOD BUT NOT GOOD ENOUGH.  I THINK PITTSBURGH, CINNCINATTI AND HOUSTON WILL ALL STRUGGLE AGAIN FOR THE BOTTOM OF THIS DIVISION WHILE THE CARDNAILS WILL BE AROUND FOR A BIT AND THEN FADE.  I THINK THE BREWERS AND CUBS WILL COME DOWN TO END OF THE SEASON WITH THE CUBS WINNING THE NL CENTRAL WHILE THE BREWERS SIT AND THINK OF WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN………..

NL WEST:

I REALLY LIKE THE DODGERS IN THIS DIVISION AGAIN.  I THINK MANNY IN THAT LINEUP MAKES A GREAT LINEUP BUT WILL IT BE ENOUGH???  WHAT ABOUT THE ROCKIES WHO HAD THE RUN IN 07???  I THINK THIS IS THE TEAM TO WATCH IN THE NL THIS YEAR.  WATCH THIS TEAM MAKE ANOTHER RUN.  THEY ARE YOUNG AND I THINK THEY MIGHT GIVE THE DODGERS A BATTLE.  ARIZONA IS ANOTHER GOOD TEAM THAT WILL BATTLE THIS YEAR AS WELL.  THEY ARE ANOTHER YOUNG TEAM THAT WILL BE THERE TO THE END.  THE PADRES AND GIANTS I AM AFRAID WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM AGAIN THIS YEAR.  MY NL WEST WINNER IS THE DODGERS………..

SUN 3/22- MON 3/30- THE PAST WEEK WENT BY FAST AND I DID NOT UPDATE MY BLOG BUT DID WATCH MOVIES AND PLAYED PLAYSTATION 2 WHEN I GOT SOME TIME OFF.  I WILL DO A REVIEW ON THE MOVIES SOON SO KEEP CHECKING.  MY ROUTINE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS IS THAT I WORK LATE AND DO NOT GET HOME TILL AFTER MIDNIGHT OR LATER SO SUNDAYS I CRASH.  I TRY TO TAKE SUNDAYS OFF SINCE I HAVE STAFF THAT WANTS TO WORK ON SUNDAYS.  THIS IS GOOD FOR ME SINCE PAM AND I CAN AT LEAST HAVE ONE DAY OFF TOGETHER.

TUES 3/31- I WORKED DURING THE DAY AND WENT BOWLING LAST NIGHT.  I ACTUALLY HAD A GOOD NIGHT BOWLING AND OUR TEAM TOOK ALL FOUR GAMES.  WE ARE NEXT TO LAST PLACE BUT AT LEAST LAST NIGHT WE ARE NOT AT THE BOTTOM.  MY HIGH SCORE WAS A 234…………I WAS ON FIRE THANK GOODNESS.  THE PREVIOUS WEEKS I HAVE STRUGGLED SO I AM HOPING TO FINISH THE BOWLING SEASON ON A GOOD NOTE.

WED 4/1- TODAY WAS MY DAY OFF AND PAM WAS HOME MOST OF THE DAY NOT FEELING WELL.  THE NICE THING IS THAT WE WATCHED THREE MOVIES TODAY WHICH INCLUDED: SEVEN POUNDS, DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL AND BEDTIME STORIES.  I WILL GIVE REVIEWS AT ANOTHER TIME BUT I SAY TO RENT ALL THREE……….IT WAS A RELAXING DAY TODAY AND WE DID GET TAKE OUT FOR BREAKFAST FROM PATTYS PLACE.  IT WAS GREAT…………ANYWAY, IT IS LATE SO I AM NOW UP TO DATE…………..GOOD NIGHT………….

MY DIARY TO 3/19/09: FROM HOUSESITTING TO WEEK GONE BY

WELL IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A WEEK SINCE MY LAST JOURNAL ENTRY SO LET ME WRAP UP THE LAST WEEK THE BEST I CAN:

SAT 3/14/09-  SPENT THE EARLY PART OF THE DAY HOUSE-SITTING FOR OUR FRIENDS.  IT WAS NICE TO HAVE A BIG SCREEN TV AND SURROUND SOUND TO WATCH TV AND SEE SOME MOVIES.  I WORKED TILL LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN CAME BACK TO THE HOUSE AND CRASHED ON THE COUCH.  WELL YOU SEE THE DOG, OREO, SLEPT WITH MY WIFE SO I GOT THE COUCH………LOL……….

SUN 3/15/09- MY DAY OFF SO I SLEPT IN…….MY WIFE AND I SPENT THE DAY HOUSE-SITTING BUT WENT TO LUNCH AT J’S DELI WITH MY PARENTS.  WE DID PLAY CARDS LATER THEN WATCHED TV WHILE BABYSITTING THE DOG AND PARROT……LOL………MADISON, THE PARROT, WAS COPYING WHAT I WAS SAYING WHICH WAS HYSTERICAL EARLIER IN THE DAY…….LOL……..YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE HE WILL REPEAT IT………LOL

MON 3/16/09- AFTER HOUSESITTING DURING THE WEEKEND I WENT BACK TO MY DADS WHERE WE LIVE PRESENTLY AND THEN WENT TO WORK AND CLOSED MONDAY NIGHT.  I GOT HOME LATE THAT EVENING………

TUES 3/17/09- I WORKED DURING THE DAY AND THEN WENT BOWLING AFTER WORK.  I DID NOT BOWL THAT WELL THE FIRST GAME BUT BY THE THIRD GAME I STARTED DOING BETTER.  I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WATCH ONE OF OUR OPPONENTS BOWL A 300 GAME WHICH WAS PERFECT.  NEVER SAW A 300 GAME LIVE BUT IT WAS GREAT.  UNFORTUNATELY, OUR TEAM LOSS THREE GAMES BUT WON THE LAST GAME BY ONE POINT……LOL………GO FIGURE……….LOL

WED 3/18/09- MY DAY OFF AND I STAYED HOME ALL DAY.  I SPENT TIME ON FACEBOOK.COM AND UPDATING MY FANTASY TEAMS.  I LIKE TO STAY HOME DURING MY DAY OFF BECAUSE I AM OUT EVERYDAY AND CLOSE THREE NIGHTS A WEEK.  I ALSO BOWL SO I AM OUT LATE FOUR NIGHTS A WEEK.  WITH THE LONG DRIVE TO PEMBROKE MY DAYS SEEM LONG SO WHEN I GET A DAY OFF I CRASH………LOL……….I ALSO WATCHED THE MOVIE, “MIRRORS” WITH KIEFER SUTHERLAND…..

“MIRRORS”- DIRECTED BY ALEXANDRE AJA AND STARRING KIEFER SUTHERLAND….RATED R FOR LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE, AND BRIEF NUDITY……….

THIS WAS ONE STRANGE FLICK FOR SURE.  OF COURSE SUTHERLAND IS GOOD IN THIS MOVIE AND PLAYS A COP WHO TAKES A SECURITY POSITION AFTER A TRADEGY WHILE BEING A COP.  HE FINDS OUT THAT THE MIRRORS OF AN OLD DEPARTMENT STORE ARE HAUNTED AND THERE IS SOME KIND OF EVIL THAT IS OCCURING CAUSING PEOPLE TO DIE.  THIS MOVIE CENTERS ON WHY THIS HAPPENS AND HOW TO STOP THE LOVED ONES FROM DYING.  I FOUND THIS MOVIE VERY STRANGE BUT INTERESTING AT THE SAME TIME.  I WILL NEVER LOOK AT MIRRORS THE SAME WAY…….LOL…….THIS MOVIE IS VIOLENT AND THE UNRATED VERSION HAS SOME GORY SCENES IN IT.  IF YOU LIKE HORROR MOVIES WITH A TWISTED PLOT YOU WILL LIKE THIS MOVIE…….I GIVE THIS MOVIE A C+……..SOME OF YOU WILL LIKE IT AND SOME WILL NOT…….LOL

THURS 3/19/09- I DID NOT WANT TO GET UP THIS MORNING.  I WAS VERY TIRED BUT WORKED ALL DAY TODAY.  GOT SOME PIZZA AND SALAD TO BRING HOME FROM NORTON HOUSE OF PIZZA FOR SUPPER.  CURRENTLY WATCHING THE NEW JAMES BOND MOVIE, “QUANTUM OF SOLACE”.  I WILL GIVE MY REVIEW NEXT BUT FOR NOW THAT IS THE WRAP UP FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS………GOODNIGHT………..
