  1. A great film... an amazing story and compelling... one of the little unknown films that needs to be seen... Another one about misused troops... better known as "Days of Glory". It was nominated for the best foreign picture Oscar in 2007
  2. She had such a talent but her meteoric rise to fame was equaled by her meteoric fall from grace. It saddens me that her legacy will be tainted by the last two decades spent undermining her incredible voice by a series of very poor personal choices. A friend wrote this on his FB wall.... and I think that it really defines how I feel: "Too bad about Whitney Houston; even worse that most people reminiscing about her probably didn't give a shit about her health/state a day, a week, or even a year ago before she passed."
  3. I like Gena!!! Just a neophyte to the board but she has been a positive contributor since day one... Kudos my dear!!!
  4. I went home this weekend for a chance to spend time with my children, my mom, my brothers and their families only to be informed that my brother's nephew had taken his own life the day of my arrival. It's sad, a young man troubled by the dissolution of his own family, the loss of his mother to cancer, his battles with chemical demons and moreover his battles with his own sexual identity... it was too much for a 26 year old to take. No one will sing a song in his honour tonight for the public to consume and in time, memories of this troubled young man will fade. Just a kid that couldn't handle what life had to offer.
  5. I like Lee because he legs Meg because she likes Angela because she likes RG who likes MrNice who likes Angela who likes Lee who likes Shymale who likes me!!! ... plus he has a great butt.... so I am told.
  6. Coming home from a weekend with the family.... I love the family but nothing beats home...
  7. I am so sorry that I couldn't make it, but for all of the people that did make it, I can assure you that the cold and flu I am now in the middle of is something I didn't want or need to share. All props to Bethany for this one.... she was the driving force!!!
  8. One of the greatest films to come out of Australia, a film about the sacrifice of three Australian soldiers to injustice and political intrigue... an absolutely brilliant film.... and another Australian classic about the misuse of commonwealth troops by their British commanders... this time during WW1.... (oh and featuring a very young Mel Gibson...)
  9. Here's one for ya... and you probably have NEVER heard of it. Bollywood productions tend to be singing, dancing, girls in wet saris, three hour film marathons. They aren't for the faint of heart. "Lagaan" or "Once Upon a Time in India" is one of those films that breaks that mold. It's a fantastic story. Three hours fly by... and then you want to watch it again. Really... anything by Kevin Smith... ever. The man is a genius and people need to see his stuff.
