More Movies
I saw BE KIND REWIND and to be honest I have no clue what the heck to think abut it. I feel like they bamboozled me. I went in there thinking I was getting ready to laugh my socks off, and what did I get? A mushy chick flick. Seriously, I was like the fish going after the lure.
Of course, I brought my girl and even she looked at me halfway through like “I’ve been hoodwinked too.” I just sat and ate my popcorn hoping the movie would turn back around to a comedy, but nope, it just kept getting more and more emotional and serious.
I came out feeling strange. The only comparison I can make is when you get padded down by security either at a club or at the airport. You just feel like you’ve been taken advantage of. Even though you already knew it was coming, you just feel very awkward afterwards.

I saw JUMPER. Nothing too long - it’s exactly what you think it is. Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Worth the money and time. Probably better on DVD but there definitely will be a sequel. My only question would be why does Samuel Jackson have to have that platinum Monaco hair like Sisqo? It doesn’t make him scary or serious.

Hey Channing – check out some classic filmed-in-Portland movies (if you haven’t already seen ‘em), like Drugstore Cowboy and the completely terrible Foxfire, featuring Angelina Jolie before she made it big.

What year is this?

Not Another Teen Movie is a touching, heart-warming drama.

My husband told me to check out your blog, so I came by to get my heart totally broken about BE KIND PLEASE REWIND. NOT A COMEDY?!?!
It’s a funny story you see, I went home last week so excited to tell my husband that I saw you on the South Water front, but didn’t know what to say; a little star stuck I guess. My first thought when I saw you walking around the corner to the lil’ market down there was to say, “GREAT GAME CHANNING”, but that wasen’t the case. You were suppose to be the X-Factor the night before durning the Suns game but it really wasn’t one of the Blazers better games. So when I saw you I realized shoot I couldn’t say, “Great Game” so I just bowed out gracfully and looked the other way. My co-worker said, “Wow he was tall” I laughed that she coudln’t figure out that a man as tall as you in Blazer gear was probably a player, but she had no clue. I told her who you were and that I had been watching you ball for sometime becuase I am a Duck Grad who hated your inside presence while at U Of A, but was excited to see a Pac-10 player on the team, I think I hated Brandon more though for the fact he was a Husky. Those Pac-10 Rivals are the best, too bad U of A and Oregon didn’t show up too well in the Tourney…any who I just wanted to stop buy and say HI, I could ramble BBall for days but your a busy guy. Good luck with the rest of the year, I’ll be at the game on Saturday with my Husband and my 9 year old bro, first Blazer game for him, we’ll be rooting you on! Go Blazer, GO DUCKS!

Today I bought “The Last Dragon” for $9.99 at a pharmacy. You gotta get a copy if you haven’t seen it. If you had “The Glow” you would totally dominate the NBA for the next 20 years.
