Best and Worst of 07

I am going to do a end of the year best and worst list. This will be a list of a few of my favorite films of the last year and a few of the worst. I didn’t get a chance to see a lot of films this year, there are still a few movies that I want to see on DVD. But as for now here you go.

1. 300, I just loved this movie, from the way that it was filmed to the lead actor it was just amazing. We will see big things from its director Zack Snyder His next film will be the cult comic The Watchmen in 09. I have written about how much I liked the 300 before.

2. No country for old men. WOW, I loved this movie on an entirely different level then the 300. Made by the Coen brothers (Fargo) the movie was a gripping take on the novel of the same name. The acting is amazing. Javier Bardem gives a film performance on par with Anthony Hopkin’s Hanniabl Lecter. Tommy Lee Jones will get an award for his role as the town cop that can't believe the way his world is changing.




3. Zodiac. Who could make an entertaining film based on an unsolved case about a serial killer? David Fintcher, that’s who. The camera work on this movie is amazing. They are releasing a 2 DVD directors cut of this film next month and I can’t wait to pick it up.

4 Hot Fuzz , From the guys that brought us Shaun of the Dead, comes the funniest film of the last year. I love the humor and the action in this kind of send up of action films. In The lead actors are just so much fun to watch it made the whole film a roar for me.

5. Harry Potter 5 I like Harry.


Least favorite films of 07

When it comes to movies that I don’t like I pretty much know what I won’t like. I am not going to run out and see Lindsy Lohans latest pile of garbage. But I do have a wife and she likes herself a chick flick. So understand that I might not have wanted to see these films. None of them were in the theater.



Rescue Dawn, I like Christian Bale, I really like him But wow this film was garbage. Starring Bale and Steve Zhan. Rescue dawn is the true story of a Vietnam pilot that gets shot down on his first mission. Then he lives a few years as a POW. Then get rescued.

This movie shows the direct relation of how a poor director can ruin a film. Warner Herzog is the guy that made GrizzlyMan, a documentary that was decent. But he did nothing with a great cast and a great premise for a film. What I don’t get was the buzz about this film it got good reviews but I just can’t see why. I havent disliked a film more in a long time.

Last Kiss, My wife and I like Zach Braff he’s funny on Scrubs but wow what a crap film this was. The movie is about a guy that finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant with his kid and he has a mid-mid life crisis. So he goes and hooks up with a younger chick. Throw in some of his wacky always naked friends that there you go. Stay away.

Waitress, I thought I was going to like this film it was cute and well put together but on a moral ground I hated it. The main character is a you guessed it a waitress that makes great pies and has a A hole of a husband. Well she get knocked up when she was drunk by said husband. As she meet her new Gyno she falls in love and they have a love affaire. My problem with the film is that the doctor is married and she wasn’t a bad wife. So that ruined the whole movie for me.


License to wed We just rented this a few weeks back and I didnt hope for much more then a stupid laugh for two. I didnt even get one out. Really lame unfunny and just stupid. I thought that Jim from the Office would make a better film but NO just another pile of garbage. Here is a Question when did Robin Williams last make a funny movie?

These movies are just bad. I am sure that there are a few more out there but these all came to mind.

Here is another clip from No country for old men to get the crap out of your brain

The many Faces of Adi

Blue Candy Cane

Last year

Well I just found this video in the depths of my computers belly. This is Adi playing with one of her x mas gifts from her Grandma King. Its really dark but pretty cute, also its fun to see how much bigger my girl is.

Wheels on the bus

This is a from Turkey day

Bath and puppies

Jerk?

So I am kind of a Jerk. Well most people know that I have a jerk side that comes out quickly. Last night the family and I pull into Target to do some shopping. I pulled into the parking stall straight as an arrow. But the car next to me was not even close. I am trying to get the little one out of the car and I can’t as this jerk driver is too close. I expressed “I can’t get the baby out because this Jerk doesn’t know how to park” As soon as I was done yelling I hear the click of the very same car’s auto lock unlock the doors. I look and see some lady walk over and get in the car. I ducked my head and walked around the other side of our car. Oops. Now if the lady had said something I am sure that I would have spoken up. She didnt so this was a tuck tail moment for me. Later after Target we went thru the drive thru and I was a jerk to the teller.(Some dumb kid that had no clue how to hand me a hamburger.)

I didn’t look so good at the end of the day. I don’t really care, I speak my mind, Yes I might get punch thrown at me one time or another but I guess I will just have to deal with that when the time comes.

Happy Turkey day

We are going to be out of town for the next few day and won't have internet access So no posts for Turkey day but I will get some pictures up when we get back.

Be safe

WOW

Okay so I had a hole in my work schedule and there was a 4 hour block of dead time between Apts. I was in a mall doing some window shopping and saw that the movie Beowulf was playing in 3-D. Now I didn't think that I was ever going to see Beowulf in the theater but here was the perfect time to see it and in 3-D even. Why not?

This was my first time viewing a real 3-D movie. I grew up with cheap 3-D blue and red glasses. But this new update was a big change. You even get to keep the glasses.

I grew up knowing the story of Beowulf, my father read the story to me as a little one. When I heard that a movie was going to be made in the Polar express fashion I wasn't over joyed. I didn't see Polar Express as I thought the characters looked dead. I took a chance with Beowulf.

The chance paid off as the opening titles started I said out loud “Well this works”. I was quickly caught up in the 3-D experience, there were so many parts that looked so real that I felt that I was going to be burned by flames or shot by an Arrow.

If you get a chance to see this in 3-D take it. I give the movie alone 2 ½ stars and with the 3-D 4 stars.

I have heard that old films are going to be remade in 3-D. Star Wars would be awesome.

Adi having some fun

Adi and Kohen

Adi was so happy to finally meet her little brother and hold him. They are already best friends. All Adi wants to do is hold him and give him kisses. She is already a big helper to her mommy. Oh and the hole that I wrote about before was in his lung but is now gone.

Coming Home

Kohen and Mommy are home and Adi was so happy to meet her little brother. Kohen was able to come home in and with the King family bunting. All the babies born in the King family came home from the hospital in this pink bunting.All of them from the my father to me to Kohen and all the others inbetween. We couldn't put him in the car seat wearing it but it was with him the whole way home.

A few More Pictures

We are coming home today!!! well we are 90% sure about that Kohen just got his little winkie sniped and he is all set from the doctors to go home. We just need the Okay for Juline to be released and we are set.

Just born

Update Kohen will be out of the NICU tomorrow. The hole was a tiny hole in his lung and its fixed itself. We couldn't be happier.

He is brand new here.

2nd day

Kohen and Mom are doing great. They had to take Kohen to the NICU because he was having a hard time breathing. They found a very very small hole in his lung that was making it hard for him to breath. Now he is doing great and already nursing. He will be out of the NICU tomorrow. As you can see he is a Prince of men. The hole quickly fixed itself and he is doing great.
