Alabama Scrimmage Highlights 8-9-8

There's some pretty good stuff here. Some crips passes, good catches, decent running, and nice hits. I'm all jazzed up for the season to start, and its only three days away.

Reservation Road Ends in Ditch

Reservation Road

Reservation Road is the story of a man who’s son is killed by a driver while filling up the car with gas. The accident is a hit and run and the father spends the rest of the movie trying to track down who the person was who killed his son while nearly loosing his marriage and almost getting arrested.

He finally tracks down the man, who we have known throughout and by “coincidence” it happens to be his private detective that he has hired to track down the murderer. Eventually, the father discovers this fact and goes to the man’s house to kill him. However, after brining him to a nearby lake in his trunk, he is unable to kill the man who at this point is near the breaking point having filmed a good bye video to his son and almost having turned himself into the police a couple of times.

This movie is watchable enough, but never really gets me going. Joaquin Phoenix isn’t very good in the role and doesn’t seem to get into the role enough to make it believable. Jennifer Connelly is passable as his wife, but isn’t given enough to do here. Mark Ruffalo again isn’t great here, but his problems seem to be even more based in the script problems.

This movie has been made many times before and I was surprised that this cast wasn’t able to give a better go at it than they were. However, as stated earlier, the script didn’t help as the characters seemed to say one thing, but do another and the true feelings and emotions of the tragic event never seemed to set in and affect their actions.

I can’t really suggest anyone to see this film, but it wasn’t terrible, just underwhelming. I give Reservation Road a 6.

I Know the Score, EPL, Week 1

The following were my predictions as listed on www.iknowthescore.com.

Arsenal 2 – 0 West Brom
Bolton 1 – 0 Stoke City
Everton 1 – 1 Blackburn
Hull City 0 – 1 Fulham
Middlesbrough 1 – 2 Tottenham
West Ham 1 – 1 Wigan
Sunderland 1 – 2 Liverpool
Chelsea 3 – 1 Portsmouth (Insurance Chip lowest possible is 0)
Aston Villa 1 – 1 Manchester City (Banker’s Chip x3 points)
Manchester United 3 – 0 Newcastle

2008-2009 Barclay's Premiership Season Starts, Arsenal 1 - 0 West Brom after 4 minutes.

So, here we are, starting a new EPL season and after only 4 minutes, Arsenal are on the board.

Updates to come throughout the day.

Attack of the Sexual Tension

I've seen these two get a bit frisky on air before verbally, but this is the first time I've seen it get physical.

Free Bird Conclusions

I have come to the following conclusions on Free Bird today on my way to work.

1) It follows Baba O'Reilly rather well.

2) It should be played in the entryway to work every morning (guitar section at end) to pump up everyone and get them going.

3) It should be against the law to cut off the guitar section of the song at any point for any reason.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Trailer

This is looking pretty good so far. I like the tone and the style of what I'm seeing in the trailer. The fifth movie was the best with only the third being also decent. I'm hoping that they keep up the quality of the last film here and its looking like the will.
