A Must See!




Monolith_The_Merely_Adequate in Shot Till You Drop
In this compelling kill-fest, Monolith_The_Merely_Adequate (Ken Watanabe) is a retired underworld figure with a dislike for corn chips. He promises to get to Polerand (Vin Diesel) before crime kingpin, Talisak (Jet Li), outwits him. Imagining that this plight is reversible, he blasts into a subterranean stronghold, twenty-two days too late. Like sands through the hourglass, so will be the ticket sales for this movie.

The Last Samurai


My only regret in seeing this film was that I didn't go to an earlier showing so that I could turn right around and buy another ticket to see it again.

Elf and Master and Commander


Rick, Dad and I went to see Elf at a matinee and then master and Commander at the late showing. Both great movies. Great music. Much fun! Elf isn't non-stop laughs, but it's always fun and entertaining. Master and Commander is just a well acted, well made film that I'm sure will be up for some Oscars.
