Random Weekend Thoughts on Many Subjects

Posted on by

Twas great to see that BOTH Alex Ovechkin and Mike Green were named first team All Stars  by the Sporting News.  Click here to see the voting and lineup.  I don’t think the Washington  Capitals have ever had two  players in the top six first team All Stars in the league in our history as a franchise — so kudos to our young core of players for being recognized by the experts and the league itself.

This vote follows on the news of Alex Ovechkin being voted NHL player of the  year in the NHL — which I provided a link to the story last week. Continue reading →

Return to Red Beach

Posted on by

This is a very moving film — a very compelling reason to watch is the upcoming Memorial Day weekend — “Return to Tarawa” is a great film.  It is a must see.

These films are constant reminders of the heroism of our armed forces in protecting our freedoms.  The price paid — the lives lost — the fierce pride in protecting our families and our liberties.  Clean up this beach — protect and enhance our memories!

Who Ya Got? Mega Shark or Giant Octopus?

I try never to miss a Lorenzo Lamas/Deborah Gibson blockbuster summer film and this one promises to be the biggest hit of the year. The writing, acting and production value of this film promises to blow Star Trek off the map.

Check out this trailer. See the best Hollywood has to offer. See a shark eat the Golden Gate Bridge. Stare in awe. Go Lorenzo, Go.

State Of Play?

No, it is NOT what you are thinking.

To take my mind off of things, my family and I went to the movies to see State of Play.

I give it a very positive rating. The cast was one of the best I have seen in a film in a long while. The acting was terrific and it is always a treat to see so many local sites highlighted in a DC based story. Production value in the film was top notch and I enjoyed the story even if it was another “Politicians are bad - business people are bad - news journalists are good” themed screenplay.

Watchmen – Wow!

Posted on by

Wow! That is all I can say after seeing this film. Amazing production values; amazing story; amazing acting; psychedelic trippy animation; and a script that I didn’t get but I couldn’t NOT watch every scene.The film is agonizingly long but it is a must see. It will be a cult favorite as well as a very popular film with the youth market.

The film is mind-blowing and an event. Check out this info on Wikipedia too for more information on the film. Wow!
