Sam's movie recommendations

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I couldn't get a lot of time to see movies. The movies I have seen over this time period are The Express, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and The Pink Panther 2. Let's start with The Express. The Express is a very historical and sad movie about the life of Ernie Davis. Ernie Davis is played by Rob Brown. Ernie Davis was the first african american to win the NCAA heisman trophy.Ernie played College football at Syracuse university. Sadly Ernie died in his early 20's. The Express was a good movie, on the scale it gets a 7 and a half. Next Paul Blart,
the complete oppisite of The Express. Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a mall cop for a New Jeresy mall. Paul Blart was very funny and entertaining. A little action a little love and lots of laughs. The review is 8. Finally The Pink Panther 2. Inspector Jacques Cleauseau (Steve Martin) is back with a sequel to The Pink Panther a couple years earlier. Steve Martin was great but some of the other actors I was not inpressed with. The movie was still very funny though. Steve Martin gets a 10 the movie 7. More reviews to come.

I have recently seen 3 movies. Marley and Me, Eagle Eye, The Dark Knight. I will start with Marley and Me. Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston play a couple that has just gotten there first dog. The movie is a comedy about Marley the worlds worst dog. It was a very good and funny movie. The review is 8 and one half. Next Eagle Eye. Shia Labeouf and Michelle Monaghan play two people that recieve a phone call that tells them exactly what to do. It's a intense action packed movie but it's very good. The review is 8 and one half. Finally The Dark Knight. Christian Bale plays
Bruce Wayne aka Batman. Aaron Eckhart plays Harvey Dent. Michael Caine back from Batman Begins as Bruce's butler Alfred. Heath Ledger plays The Joker. Heath Ledger plays the Joker perfectly. The movie is spectacular. One of my favorites of 2008. The Review is 9 and one half.
I'm looking foward to 2009 movies. More reviews to come.

Magnolia Tree Balls

Tree balls grew a new branch in MS this year. Our neighbors made four balls with us with their kids. We had a great time roasting marshmallows on the fire, drinking wine, and, of course, cutting our fingers on chicken wire. Who knows, maybe tree balls will take off and before you know it, the state of Mississippi will be covered.

I'm sorry I've haven't blogged in a while but I've got three new reviews: Bolt in 3D, Madagascar Escape 2 Africa and Twilight. Since the first one I saw was Madagascar 2 I'll start with it. I thought it was hilarious. Ben Stiller and Chris Rock are Great. The review is 8. Next we switch to the vampires of Twilight. I thought the book was better. Well, I mean, don't get me wrong, the movie was not bad, just it wasn't one of my favorites. I give it a 6. Next, Bolt in 3D. Well, first of all, the 3D was great, but my favorite part of the movie for sure was the hamster, Rhino. The hamster was brilliant. But Madagascar 2 wins in the reviews because Bolt gets a 7. Next time I will bring the review for Batman Begins because yesterday I rented that. More reviews to come.

Today the only movie Iwill be blogging about is King Kong. The movie is brilliant. During the great deppresion a filmaker named Carl Denham (Jack Black) sails to a uncharted island called Skull Island with the leading lady in the film Denham is making Anne Darrow(Naomi Watts) and also traveling a man named Jack(Adrien Broody)At Skull Island they battle giant dinosaurs,leaches and cockroaches. And Anne Darrow begins to care for a giant gorilla named King Kong. Well I should leave the rest a suprise. The movie is stunning from beggining to end. The final review is 9. Sam

Football Rivalries

Football is still on my mind as the fiercest rivalry of all takes place this Friday night in Jackson: the Jackson Academy/Jackson Prep football game. It is a playoff game, which makes it important enough, but to understand how serious this rivalry is, you had to be sitting in my car with me yesterday afternoon. I was waiting for the boys after school, parked as I always am, on Sheffield Dr., the road adjacent to the football field, when a helicopter gets my attention on a beautiful fall day. I think it is the WLBT traffic copter as the TV station logo is emblazoned on its side,and don't think much about it. However, when it circles back and starts to hover and lower itself above the football field, my interest is piqued. Is it going to land? There are cheerleaders performing routines, elementary kids running on the track, football players practicing--it can't be. Suddenly, its mission is revealed: red and blue pieces of confetti come spiraling downward, like snowflakes from the sky. "Go get the coupons," I scream at Sam, who has just reached the car, and he hurries back to the field. Chilren are running all over the place, thinking the confetti masks candy or prizes like a pinata that has suddenly exploded. To their dismay, however, the confetti simply has mean messages written upon it about the game Friday night: "Remember last year" (a reference to Prep's win in overtime) and "Kill Raiders!" Horrible, awful, evil stuff floating from the sky! As a Duke grad, I didn't think any rivalry was fiercer than Duke/UNC, but I have never witnessed anything as impressive as the hiring of a helicopter to get one's message across!
