Movie Review

It has been a long time since I last posted to my blog. I decided to make this post about the recent movies I have seen. I checked out Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood. I must say that I enjoyed the movie. Now I know many people might go to see this movie expecting it to be another Million Dollar Baby. I say to those individuals have an open mind. The Movie takes place in a suburb outside of Detroit, where Clint Eastwoods’ character (Korean War Vet) raised his family. His kids and the neighborhood have both changed to the point that he doesn’t recognize either of them. Well it seems that the demographics for the neighborhood have changed for the worse as far as he is concerned. He is one of the only remaining Caucasians that sill resides in the neighborhood. Somehow, through interactions and his observations he becomes the sort of friend/mentor to the son of his next-door neighbors. Well that’s all the information I am giving as to not give away any of the movie. So I recommend that you all try to see before it leaves the theaters.

Another movie I saw recently is Burn after reading with Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and John Malkovich. I have to say that I enjoyed the movie, but I would classify it as the Seinfeld of the movie world because it was a movie about absolutely nothing. Interesting though I would say it’s a DVD/Preview channel type of movie. It is not worth the exoberant prices at the theaters but worth the $5 to rent it from a blockbuster/Netflix type of place or off the preview channel.

Well that’s all I have to review for now. My net movie Blog will include must see movies from back in the day. Later.

Christmas

I just wanted to take this time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This is a time to give, worship, and fellowship with friends and family. Please take the time to remember the loved ones that have passed as well as to those who have loved ones in harms way. We should all take the time to reflect and give thanks for the positives and negatives that we have or are experiencing in life. With out them, life wouldn't be worth living. Merry Christmas to everyone and to all a good night.

The Beginning

Well, I have been meaning for a long time to start a Blog of my own. I guess my reasoning is that I am pretty sure that some one out there in cyber world would like to know the different thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis, hence the title for this blog "Random Thoughts That Go Through My Head".

Ok here goes the first official random thought I am going to publish to my blog for consumption by the masses.

I know that all the hip Hop lovers out there have read the credits of their favorite albums trying to identify the producer and the samples used for creating the different masterpieces that has blessed their ears over the yeas. Sometimes we are familiar with the samples used, but many times, most of are clueless to the song that was sampled. Well I would like to announce, to those who do not know, that a DJ named Kevin Nottingham has complied the original songs sampled by producers to create some of the classic hip-hop albums of all time. Please use the following link to access the website then sit back and enjoy some goodies but oldies.
