WATCHING - NEW MOVIES

	Brothers Bloom I can't get enough of this movie think i watched it three times last week.
	Charlie Wilson's War After watcihng this movie I can see why we are asking for 40,000 more troops in Afghanistan. You'll see.
	Wolverine Don't know haven't watched all of it yet
	The Story of the Wu-Tang Clan Just wanted to see what happened to the big baby Jesus AKA Ole Dirty Bastard.
	Transformers 2 I am not a big fan of Transformers anymore but the CGI in these movies is incredible. I can still relate but this movie should be rated R or PG16
	2012 This was an entertaining movie some of the effects that take place are amazing. You can tell they had a high budget. I like Danny Glovers character too. Yet this movie was incredibly fake and incredibly hollywood.
	Five Fingers Slow movie about a terrorist sympathizers from Holland. Very good ending.
	Troy I watched this after watching the whole season of HBO's Rome then read a book about Achilies, and Helen of Troy.
	The Soloist Sad movie and storyline and true story, but didn't move me me one bit, and poor Jamie Foxx will never get an Oscar again doing this crap.
	Breach Slow movie about a computer programmer who works for the CIA as their operations manager gone bad. Like the Pete Rose of the CIA.
	Blood and Bones This was not a good movie but good enough to watch for the action and it gets me pumped before the gym. Modern day Action Jackson.
	The Intruders I thought this was gonna be a horror movie or something, turned out to be an 80's movie about rich brats.

WATCHING - TV

	Entourage Can't get enough of this crew from queens. E and Turtle where my favorites last season.
	Its Always Sunny in Phillidelphia This is a quirky comedy show, I watch this show with my girl Casey
