The director, Michael Winner passed away this weekend. I had forgotten that Herbie Hancock did the score for that movie, haven't seen it in probably 25 years.

Actually, reading about his death was why I decided to watch it.

My mother met Charles Bronson once back in the 1970s.

THe one team I have any emotion for in the NFL's post-season is New England; MY MOST HATED TEAM IN ANY SPORT!!!!!!! I'm no fan of the Ravens (especially with all the Ray Lewis worship going on) but I will cheer for ANYONE against the Patriots.

Somewhat agree - not at all a fan of Billacheat and the Patriots..... and not a fan of the Ravens, agree with you on the Ray Lewis worship (I guess getting away with 2nd degree murder is now forgotten????)... so hoping for the Haugbowl....

Side Note: New England has not won the Super Bowl since they got caught cheating

YES!!!! Have a good flight home Cheatriots!!!!!

Yep!!! And again, the cheating curse continues!

On Facebook, I saw this funny status:
My prediction for the game is that I will eat too much, drink too much, and fall asleep at halftime. The 49ers win and Ray Lewis writes a book called, “If I Did It 2”, the sequel to OJ Simpson’s book that no one read.

"Almost Famous" (2000)



A dorky California teen manages to B.S. his way into a writing assignment for Rolling Stone and joins an on-the-rise band called "Stillwater" on the road, where he learns about life, music, love, and of course, groupies. Cameron ("Jerry Maguire") Crowe based this charming rock 'n' roll coming of age tale on his own experiences as a young music journalist in the early 1970s.

Great soundtrack and an excellent cast including Kate Hudson, Philip Seymour Hoffman (as the legendary "Creem" magazine editor Lester Bangs), Jason Lee, and Frances McDormand. This is one of my favorite rock movies. If you haven't seen it, do so.

So Mumford was her first? I remember seeing that in 1999.

Yes, Mumford was her first feature film. She was very impressive in that movie, many of the reviews for that film praised her performance.

Yes she was, however, the whole movie was enjoyable. I really had no idea what it was about or whether I would like it or not. However, I was in the Navy for school and the base theater was cheap and just around the corner from my barracks so I could afford to try movies on a whim.

I need to watch Mumford again, a very enjoyable movie. It is essentially a modern day update of a Frank Capra style film, Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill) captured the vibe perfectly.

"The Arrival" (1996)



A pre-"winning" Charlie Sheen stars in this paranoid sci-fi thriller that was obviously inspired by "The X-Files." Charlie's a radio astronomer who picks up a signal from outer space, but can't get anyone to believe him. When he investigates the signal and traces its source to Mexico, he learns that the aliens are already here - and they're working to "terraform" Earth so that it'll be suitable for them to come in and take it over.

The movie runs a bit longer than it needs to (and the oh-so-dated 90s CGI is howlingly bad) but for the most part this is a pretty decent suspense flick. Two appendages up.

I really liked The Arrival, haven't seen it for a long time but I remember it as being great fun.

Ditto. I distinctly remember the aliens with their knees bent the wrong way.

Currently watching:

No Country for Old Men. Excellent cast all on top form, beautifully shot and ably helmed by the Coen Brothers. Anton Chigurh is one of the scariest characters in recent films!

Dual Survival

John Dies At The End.

What a "WTF?!?!?" movie this is!

I remember at the time loving this and Terminal Velocity. I even didn't dislike The Chase at all. For a guy who has become a joke he sure did a ton a movies I'm a fan of.

"Almost Famous" (2000)

A top ten all-time for me. And that Stillwater disc that came with the dvd is actually quite decent. No doubt thanks to Nancy Wilson's involvement.
