King Kong is one definitely one of the best movies this year and quite possibly one of my favorite action movies of all time. Peter Jackson definitely did not dissappoint and I will from now on watch anything that he makes.

King Kong had at least 5 top of the line action scenes that rival any action movie ever produced including Lord of the Rings.

As you can tell I am giving King Kong a very high rating of A.

I warn you though the ladies might cry if you watch this because its pretty darn sad for the big guy.

This is a perfect date movie, family movie, buddy movie, perfect.

Also remember to give yourself ample time to watch this movie, it takes 3 hours and 7 minutes to complete.

Lakers just beat Dallas which ended their 5 game winning streak. Lakers are a team now, although Shaq left, I believe this is one of the most exciting Laker teams in history.

Laker future - Bynum, Kwame Brown, Cook, Sasha, and ofcourse Kobe. Thank you Phil Jackson - once again.

I read Narnia when I was in elementary school, it was a good book. One of the very few books I have read back in the days.

This movie was not as good as I expected. I guess I grew up because this movie to me was very kiddy-like.

The Special effects was OK only and the story was OK only, appeals only to younger kids. Acting is horrible.

I do not recommend people over the age of 15 to go watch this movie.

My rating: C-

Just got back from the Kroq’s Almost Acoustic Christmas 2005 Night 1.

One word: Awesome

NIN and KORN in one venue - ONCE IN A LIFETIME

The BEST CONCERT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Nine Inch Nails (NIN) sang HURT! Believe that? It was almost religious listening to that song. (picture above is not the picture from concert, from old Hurt video - Trent now has a Crew Cut) They also sang Head Like a Hole, Hands that feed, Closer, and more!

Korn was crazy, I thought they were lip singing, but they were just Good - Freak on the leash, away from me, and more!

System of the down was only OK for me, because I never really liked them anyways, but NIN alone was worth it all.

I filmed some video from my cell phone of NIN and KORN, but I have no idea how to transfer the video to my computer, I do not have the cables for my Nokia phone. Hope someone can help me.

Yasmine (Miss DD 2006) - was VERY VERY dissappointing this year - She has a GUT!! What the hell, not hot. Hopefully next year would be better.

Weird how when a motorcycle passes by cars, some cars across swerve to the left after the motorcycle has passed them. This makes no sense to me and drives me mad how dumb people are.

When I had Discover I bought a Laptop, that same day they called me asked if I really bought it, I confirmed and said yes I did. A few days later, my card didn’t work anymore. No idea what happened.

A few days later (after I tried the card a couple times 5x trying to get gas, etc) I called Discover and complained what is wrong with my card. They said possible fraud. Ok what is wrong? It was because of the Laptop.

They wanted proof I am really me, so I sent them proof that I AM ME. After a few days later, my account was shut down.

I called again screaming, but they didn’t care, they didn’t know what to do. They still charged the card for the laptop. The thing that really got to me is that they charged the card for the laptop and they know I paid for it, but they STILL CANCELLED ME CARD.

Lo and Behold a week later I got the letter my account has been cancelled.

A Big “F” U to DISCOVER CARD. Spread the word people F U DISCOVER.

When I was young I used to watch Aeon Flux on MTV, but didn’t get what the hell was going on. This movie finally summed it up, or I got older and understand a lot more.

Anyways, Great Movie, awesome action, awesome scenery, and who else Charlize was fantastic.

If you are an anime fan, action fan, Charlize fan, this is the movie for you. Great date or friends movie.

Rating: B+

Freeway Driving Tip #1 - Humanize your driving experience

When I say Humanize I mean show a hand, smile, make eye contact with other drivers.

When you want to change lanes or merge in traffic, roll down your window and stick your head and arm out and signal. The chances of you being able to merge in increasing 10 fold.

Just think.. If you see a guy signal and all he does is look forward, you don’t really care about him and won’t let him in. But if you see him smile and stick his arm up, you will most likely let him merge.

Happy driving.

Have you ever seen a Rooster on the Freeway?

When I was younger I have tried to read this book for my High School Honors class, couldn’t do it, too boring. So I tried read the cliff notes, couldn’t do it, too boring. Back then there was no movie version of this book, so I just stopped reading it and took a test on it and failed.

Now 2005, watching this movie I finally get the story. Good story geared toward women. If you read this book and liked it, then you will like this movie too.

But if you have seen the Colin Ferth version, you will still like it, but not as much as the Colin Ferth version, because of Colin Ferth. But this movie is definitely recommended for Pride and Prejudic fans.

Knightly was perfect in this role, no other actress could of done this better in this movie.

The scenery in this movie BLEW me AWAY. You should watch this movie just for the scenery and the sets.

Overall Rating: B+

I found this Broadband alternative today a great deal of first 6 months for $9.95 ib Dial-Up. Earthlink is very stable, used to use them when internet first came out, more reliable than netzero and aol.

Get Dial-Up access with Earthlink today, and receive your first six months for only $9.95 a month!

Great for moms and dads that do not need the broadband speeds.

Goodl luck

Is it weird of me to think Suzy from Biggest Loser is hot?

I know she is Fat, but I think shes cute. The show isn’t over yet, but maybe she gets a major makeover at the end that makes her look like a supermodel?

So what you people think, am I weird?

Here are the installation instructions for AIC-100i on the Prius.

This system allows your prius to connect and control your ipod through your touch screen and wheel controls.

Here is the short list:

Charlie and the Chocolate factory 2005 - avoid this at all costs, better off with the original version
Transporter 2 - I want my life back, all cheesed out

Here is a list of must see movies of 2005 that is already out:

Mr. And Mrs. Smith
40 year old Virgin
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Hitch
King Kong

Update - I was wrong on Narnia, movie is too kiddy-like, if you do not have kids and you are an adult, skip it. Even if you read the book in your younger years, skip it. I was correct on King Kong, one of the must see movies of 2005.

I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night.

I give this movie an A.

Reasons:

• Special Effects were AMAZING
• Humor was as great as ever
• Storyline was awesome
• There is a Dragon
• Interesting new characters
• Left me wanting more..

This was by far the best Harry Potter Movie out to date. Worth the wait standing in line for an hour.
