A bigger expense than IRAQ War? No Way!!!??

Like my friend Travis Fortie suggests, we should send a bill to the Mexican Government. . . . :)

WHAT COSTS MORE PER YEAR THAN THE IRAQ WAR?

Lars and the Real Girl

Title -Lars and the Real Girl
Rating - PG-13 ( I don't know why?) In my opinion this should've been rated PG
Actors - Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider,

Directed By- Craig Gillespie
Recommendation? RENT THIS MOVIE
Length - 1 Hour 46 Minutes

This is a great movie. I'll warn you tough, macho men that I shed a tear at the end of the movie. So, you may want to be careful with who you watch this with if you have an 'image' to protect.

This is a touching movie about humanity. I HIGHLY recommend this one.

I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars. Certainly, I am not claiming this is the best movie I've ever seen. However, it has all the ingredients of a good movie. Superb acting, extremely well written, perfectly directed, and is appealing on many different levels.

The next time you rent a movie for you, you and your significant other, or you and the entire family, rent this one.

Kickin' It Old Skool

Title -Kickin It Old Skool
Rating - PG-13
Actors - Jamie Kennedy

Directed By- Harvey Glazer
Recommendation? Don't Bother
Length - 1 Hour 48 Minutes

Well, I've been on a small run of BAD movies. I rented this because I like "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" on tv.

This is a BAD movie about a guy who was a breakdancer in the 80s, fell into a coma, wakes up in current times, only to find himself able to compete in a breakdancing contest. If he wins, he gets the girl. Hehehehe. . . .NOT.

I'm going to save you the time. The funniest part of the movie right here:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=FKJpX6khu0k&feature=related

Don't rent this. If you find it on Comedy Central on an afternoon and nothing else is on, and you can nap during it, then watch it. Otherwise. . .RUN!

I give this 1.5 stars out of 5.

Perfect Stranger

Title -Perfect Stranger
Rating - R
Actors - Halle Berry, Bruce Willis, Giovanni Ribisi

Directed By- James Foley
Recommendation? Don't Bother
Length - 1 Hour 49 Minutes

Sometimes I rent a movie, and you simply judge a book by it's cover. Halle Berry looks amazing in this movie. There is one scene that I would re nominate her for an Oscar for, based 100% on looks only.

But, this movie is stupid. Don't bother EVER watching this one. Save the almost 2 hours of your life.

I give this movie 1 star out of 5.

Billions - Wish I could get some

This is too true to be funny. Talk about putting it into perspective.

The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and
20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans . It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number; what does it mean?

A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of
New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you
each get $516,528.

B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.

C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family
gets $2,066,012.

Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'

And I still have to "press 1 for English"

What the heck happened?????

Welcome to my thoughts. . .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS2fI2p9iVs

Poor guy. . .he's actually trying to stop this freight train.

If you check out ronpaul2008.com, he was the one presidential candidate trying to bring attention to this issue, but he was for the most part ignored. The US Govt is spending 500k A MINUTE in Iraq with NO exit strategy in place. Hence, they are spending 10Billion a month in Iraq and that will continue "forever".

At some point, the common citizen will either be taxed to the point that going to work will not make sense, or there will be such major financial catastrophes because the Fed's income from tax receipts won't cover the monthly 'interest only' payment on the debt. (It doesn't cover it now)

We already would've had this catastrophe in August 2007, and 3 weeks ago in March. But, the Federal Reserve just 'creates' BILLIONS in loans ( another 500 BILLION since August ) out of thin air to come to the 'rescue'. Think, "abra cadabra".

The Fed relies on the fact that as common people we do not understand the concept of big numbers. The idea is the same to us of 3 trillion dollars, and 43 trillion dollars. To us, it's just 'a lot of money' one way or the other. No business, no person, no city govt would be allowed to take the ATM cash advances off their credit cards like this, and continue to open new credit cards and max them out the way the Govt does.

Is it an easy problem to fix? No. But not many in Government seem to be trying.

The pioneers of the US are embarrassed right now. Inflation will accelerate, the dollar will continue to decrease to the value of zero, and at some point it will stop. So be prepared for this day. You hear it all the time, and again it's easy to ignore, or put off 'for another day', or 'when I have lots of money', but you need a food storage.

Because when you absolutely need a food storage, and your families life depends on it, the 20k in checking at Wells Fargo won't mean anything to the empty shelves at Albertsons and hungry people trying to feed their families by any means necessary wandering the streets.

Happy thought I know, but seriously, do as the Govt does. Grab your MasterCard and buy a nice 90,180 day supply for your family. Because if you ever need the food to survive, and don't have it, how much would you pay to avoid watching your children starve? Extreme I know. But you tell me, is it possible? Or, can we forever count on the Government to be there? Can we be certain that a catastrophe is not possible?

Sorry for the long rant! But this kind of stuff gets me fired up!

Martian Child

Title - Martian Child
Rating - PG
Actors - John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Amanda Peete, Bobby Coleman

Directed By- Menno Meyjes
Recommendation? It's on DVD. . . rent it if you have kids

Length - 1 Hour 46 Minutes

If it weren't for John Cusack, big sis Joan may never work again.

This is a movie made for families. So, unless you're going to watch this one with kids, or like family movies, stop reading now.

This movie is about a guy who picks the strangest kid in the orphanage to adopt. They go through their struggles and in the end all is good.

I give this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars

August Rush

Title - August Rush
Rating - PG
Actors - Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robin Williams, Terrance Howard
Directed By- Kristen Sheridan
Recommendation? It's on DVD. . . rent it ASAP!
Length - 1 Hour 44 Minutes . . Perfect

Sometimes you just need a movie with a 'happy ending'. Don't think Asian massage parlor, you sicko! Happy ending meaning it all works out perfectly in the end.

This is a great movie! Story is about a boy who happens to be a musical prodigy. He hears a symphony of music in everyday occurrences. He is on a quest to find the parents that gave him up for adoption.

This is a must see for families, music lovers, or if you are in the mood for making some popcorn and watching a movie, you won't be disappointed.

I give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars. Rent it this weekend!

Run Fatboy Run

Title - Run Fatboy Run
Rating - PG 13
Actors - Simon Pegg, Thandie Newton, Hank Azaria, Dylan Moran,
Directed By- David Schwimmer ( Yes, "Ross" from "Friends")

Length - 1 Hour 40 Minutes

Funny, Funny, Funny. You'll laugh, you won't cry.

I give this 4.25 stars out of 5. Check it out!!!

SOUTHLAND TALES

Title - Southland Tales
Rating - R
Actors - The Rock, Sean William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, Justin Timberlake, Nora Dunn, Jon Lovitz, Cheri Oteri, John Laroquette
Directed By- Richard Kelley
Recommendation? It's on DVD. . . rent it
Length - 2 hours 20 minutes

First of all, don't let the laundry list of 'B' actors scare you. JT, The Rock, Mandy Moore, Stiffler from American Pie? This has to suck! But. . . it doesn't.

Have you seen 'Donny Darko'? Same director. Same type of movie. Very cool, a little hard to understand. Watch this movie with someone you think is smart, so they can help you figure it out. If you can't figure it out, you're a total idiot!

Movie is set in 'the future' after a post nuclear attack in the U.S. Cool premise. I especially like the part when Justin Timberlake's character is in a drug induced hazy dream and sings along to 'The Killers'.

At times an unnecessary amount of 'F' bombs. Doesn't help the dialogue along.

Cool Movie. Only watch it if your ready to figure out a puzzle.

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

" 21 " The Movie

Title - 21
Rating - PG 13
Actors - Kevin Spacey, Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Aaron Yoo, Liza Lapira
Directed By- Robert Luketic
Recommendation? Wait for DVD. . . rent it
Length - 2 hours on the dot

This movie is about a bunch of MIT Wiz Kids that use their math and statistics prowess to take over Las Vegas. Based on the book "Bringing Down The House". The movie will get you excited about a Vegas trip, but in the end you realize. . .gambling sucks.

I give this 3.5 stars. Decent movie. I wouldn't kill myself trying to get to the theatre for this one.
