Two more reviews ..... both from movies on TV.
One is the really wonderful, "Almost Famous". This is one of my favorite films, and definitely Kate Hudson's best work... I love this picture ... Its compulsively watchable ****1/2
The other was "Wimbledon", which I saw for the first time. Very enjoyable, and much more tennis then I expected. Very good job by Paul Bettany, and...

Had fun at the wife's 20th reunion ....
Its always interesting to be an observer ... luckily Dover-Foxcroft, Maine was very beautiful all weekend and I even got to spend sometime at a friend's camp on Lake Sebec.
But back to work now.
Need to use my head more in a job and stand less.

***You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)***
You're a great thinker and a true philosopher.
You'd make a talented professor or writer.

I think I would love to get the Ph.D ... but what do you do with it.

Off to see the parents in their new place (a little over a year) in Allentown, PA ..
The house I grew up in is on the market in Skillman, NJ (just north of Princeton) and I hope it sells soon (I just wish I had time to go through my stuff before the trashing last August (house didn't get on Market until May 2006)...

What cigar did you smoke? I read that Cubans are 'banned' in the US. We are lucky in that sense that we get all the good Cubans here ... my man smokes cigar once in a while when he does not have to sing soon (two weeks) after he smoked it ... I don't like cigars they're way too creamy for me! 
Two new reviews
I saw two movies in the theatre this weekend .. one I really enjoyed, and one was quite disappointing.
On Friday, I saw the beautiful "Superman Returns" .. It was quite clear that director Bryan Singer has seen the 1977 "Superman" dozens of times, and loves the series ...
The movie has some of the most beautiful imagery I have seen in...

So while I was driving back from Camp and the family reunion every July 4th in Central Maine, I listened to my wife's IPod and heard Man or AstroMan?
The wife has been getting into Tenacious D and there is only so much I can listen to of it ...
But it made me think how great Man or Astroman were at Pomona College in...

Watching the NBA Draft right now .. Very happy to see Quincy Douby of Rutgers selected #19 by the Sacremento Kings .. I will be very interested to see how he does in the NBA, and even more if it will make Rutgers more of a draw for good high-school players.
Of course not having him makes it harder for Rutgers to make the NCAA...

and that's the precise reason i bought a season pass.
I have the World Cup Fever ...
Must say I don't like the double scheduling on the last games in the group where the A,C,E,G teams play in the morning (10 am EST/4 pm German time) and the B,D,F,H games are at (3 pm EST/ 9 pm German time) ...
I dont know why they got rid of the lunchtime 12 pm/6 pm games or...

BMI rant
I think Panera might mind if I got Pizza Hut personal pan pizza and ate it here .. Prob should just do it there .. The idea sounds MUCH better then having healthy food here at Panera ... I think there should be more appreciation for the junk food we eat as good Americans. We are the world champions, and the absolute world...

Something odd popped into my head today ...
Half a life time ago in 8th or 9th grade I had an early date to go to the movies .. I didn't end up seeing the date that night after buying two tickets to the very good, but very arty Pelle the Conqueror **** (a Swedish film by Lars von Trier with subtitles) .. .my "date"...

dallas in 6 sounds about right .. but follow NCAA hoops much more then the NBA
Had an absolute blast this weekend ...

Started working a new retail gig .. didn't mind not having a worry about commissions ...
Just had a lovely, lovely time ...
I really need to camp more...

I think Match Point is cool too, I like the "being Lucky rather than Talented" thing. I know it is wrong but it struck a chord.

Saw "The DaVinci Code" .. really liked it ***1/2 ... think it was nice to not read the book first too ... Interesting, surprising movie ... Very good ...
Progressive Series on DVD .. and two excellent film reviews ...
I have gotten very in to Lost by watching Season 1 on DVD .... And since Alias had its series Finale tonight, against 24's season finale .. I was curious what people thought of watching these complicated shows that make more sense when you see the entire program, not just bits and pieces ......

ooooh Lost is an amazing show! i just started getting into it myself...thanks to netflix, i caught up on all of season 1, and a friend let me borrow the first 7 episodes of season 2 a friend of his had recorded. so now i'm dying to catch the last, oh 16 episodes, and will probably, unfortunately, have to wait til fall when season 2 is released on dvd and i can get them from netflix. i'm gonna be wondering all summer long! arghhhh...
glad to hear your poetry/book reading went so well. sounds like fun.

The other was "Ginger Snaps" .. ***1/2 .. Which I kept hearing was good ... Its the only werewolf flick I could at some level compare with Heathers .. This is a high compliment for me ... The girls were both very good, and it was a lot of fun .... The movie was fun, and I glad I heard the recommendations.
What movies do you recommend for me?
