Street Kings

Two years ago I wrote a critique of a trailer for a movie called 'Dirty', a movie I called a clear rip-off of Training Day. So, if you were a director wanting to rip-off Training Day again, who would you pick to be the bad-ass rouge cop? ... How about Keanu Reeves? ... Well, neither would I, but David Ayer, the Director of the new movie 'Street Kings' has done just that. This trailer even says "from the makers of Training Day"... it's a bad rip-off by the people who made the original (which means, the same studio).

This movie looks terrible. It looks worse than 'Dirty' did. I know I haven't written a review of a trailer in a long time, but this was worth coming out of the woodwork to criticize.

Final Rating: 2 out of 10 (stars). Looks like after all our hoping and dreaming, Neo is not actually the one.

E-2... HIT!

One of my favorite games as a kid (back when I use to like games) was Battleship. There's just something really satisfying for a young boy to hear the words "You sunk my battleship!" (sometimes followed by the words "butt head!"). Anyhow, here's the footage from the Navy of their shot at the spy satellite during the eclipse last night.



Pretty cool eh?

Happy Monday

Okay, so there usually isn't much to be happy about on Mondays. The beginning of another work-week (or school week), snow swirling around outside, people walking past saying stupid things like "hi, how's it going?" or "guess what I did this weekend?"... anyway, thanks to John Alberson, this should hold us over for another week.

*I don't know which one is the name of the song and which is the name of the band.

Can I Live

Thanks to Kim for posting this. I was gonna comment about how this isn't rap, it's Hip-Hop (or maybe even R&B), but the song is too powerful to downplay. Everyone, take a listen and share with a friend.
