They Call Me Trinity (1971)

This movie is a spaghetti western with the 3 stooges mixed in.  It is described under all its reviews as a Western Slapstick Comedy.  It was pretty funny, but nothing laugh out loud hilarious (It is 35 years old).  It did have its moments of witty dialogue, and some pretty funny gun play.

This is a movie I would suggest for nights where you are in the mood for something on the sillier side (and possible with a stomach full of whiskey, which may or may not have been my case when i watched it).

Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Thw Whitch, and The Wardrobe (2005)

I enjoyed the story of this movie, but I woulnd't consider it the best I have seen.  The story is good, the characters are interesting, but that is about all.  Definitely would suggest it for younger kids.

Inside Man (2006)

On this movie I have to admit that I am a bit bias.  I think Denzel Washington is an amazing actor so if he is in a movie I generally enjoy it.  Inside man is no exception.  Denzel plays a detective that is generally described as too smart for his own good, who is negotiating with bank robbers who are holding abour 30 people hostage.  Through the movie you begin to realize this is not an common bank robbery, though they don't hide much.  There really isn't any twists and turns in the plot just a story line to follow.

I didn't find the movie really intense as it claimed to be, but I really enjoyed the dialogue and character interaction.  It was very amusing and as always it is fun to see Denzel at work.

Capote (2005)

A story about how the famous American writer Truman Capote gathered the story for his book, "In Cold Blood" about a brutal murder in a small Kansas town..  Philip Seymour Hoffman did a great job with reproducing this character, and giving him depth.  Unfortunatly the movie itself lacked that.  The beggining is rather slow.  The middle caught my interset seeing the progression in Capote's writing and his decietful tactics to obtain information from the frinds of the victims, the police, and even creating a close bond with the killers themselves.

I wouldn't really suggest this movie unless you read the book "In Cold Blood" (because now I am interested in reading it myself), or are interested in Capote himself.  The movie, though well made, lacks a compelling story till the end, and even then I am unsure.

The largest misconception with the average American is the definition of Traffic, which even in The American Heritage Dictionary it is nothing but a pack of lies.

traf-fic (traf'ik) n. 1. The commercial exchange of goods; trade.  2.a. The passage of persons, vehicles, or messages through routes of transportation or communication.  b. The amount of vehicles, in transit.  3. Dealings; communication.

This makes on believe that traffic is a flow of "humanity" from point A to point B and possible a point C and D time permitting.  How untrue this is.

Traffic is the grazing period in which vehicles digest fossil fuels and increase the blood pressure of the tiny parasitic organism (i.e. human) to levels peaking at heart failure, but maintaining the life that is for no particular reason other then to experience the brief moments of movement at 5 mph.

With this mindset one can understand the difficulty in travel, seeing as the natural process of traffic succumbs our transit system every day for 23 hours.

However there is a light at the end of the tunnel (you'll never reach it if you are driving), and here are a few rules of the road to assist you in your motored commute.

1.  Think of traffic as an opportunity to catch up on reading or sleep.  Don't worry about the cars behind you, some jack ass four cars up is doing the same thing.

2.  Applying makeup, eating a sandwich, making out with your passengers, making out with someone in the next car, or playing a board game can help time spent on the road slip by unnoticed.

3.  If you are ever in the situation that you need to change lanes simply plow your car into the drivers side door of the car next to you.  This maneuver is called a turning signal, because you are signaling to the ass hole next to you, that he/she is taking up your much needed space.

4.  If there are no cars in front of you that means you have "exited" the traffic zone.  As unlikely that this it, it is now your responsibility to crash your car creating as much collateral damage as possible.  In most cases, simply smashing on the breaks in surprise of the void you face will suffice in this task.

5.  Lanes are simply a suggestion.  In grade school you were always told to color inside the lines, but no one ever got ahead in this world without thinking outside of the box.  Which we all know from college, is just lines put together.  Those who drive in two lanes are celebrated with the honking the car horn of achievement.

6.  Say by chance, you actually need to arrive somewhere at a specific time.  The law of traffic states that one lan of traffic shall be in minute motion at all times.  Find and enter this lane at all costs.  Those who cross 4 lans of traffic at a 90 degree angle simply to move an inch forward are American Heroes, and are awarded medals of valor once they reach their destination.

7.  The traffic gods smile on those who drive slow in the fast lanes.

8.  Forget about getting of the free way to pick up some groceries.  Simply put your car into park and walk down the exit ramp.  Remember to leave your keys in the ignition so that your car may continue to graze.

These rules are meant to keep you alive, and aware of the wonderful phenomena that is Traffic.

Munich (2005)

Over all a good  movie.  Like any Steven Spielberg movie, the acting and cinematography is great.  Unfortunatly for the last 40 minutes of the movie (2:44 total) you are begging for the movie to end.

Aside from that the story is rather gripping and based on true events (how much of it is true, they do not say).  The most interesting aspect is that there is no leaning towards one side or the other.  You get a feeling that no one is right and everyone is wrong.  It is a good lesson in the senslessness of violence, and revenge.  I would suggest this movie to anyone who is not bothered by violence, and as always willing to learn from others actions.  However, take it from me, after the 2 hour mark there is nothing that needs to be said, including a very awkward sex scene/flash back.

Blue Man Group: The Complex Rock Tour Live (2003)

This was a pretty good representation of a live Blue Man Group show.  Unfortunatly I have seen them live in Vegas, which made the DVD less impressive.  If you are turned on by great percussion, and smurfs, this is a definate see.  However, it is best to see them live.
