Movie Review – The Other Boleyn Girl

We traded the folks the other day. They’d get a ride to K-mart to buy really cheap and crappy clothes and in exchange, we’d get to go to the movies by ourselves (for the first time in months). So we ended up with the Other Boleyn girl. Bummer. It wasn’t that great. It basically was a story we’ve seen and heard a zillion times before, and one that is going on again on the Showtime series The Tudors but this supposedly told more about the time ‘before Henry VIII met Anne’ which might be interesting. Of course, it was wildly inaccurate, as I later learned through checking Wikipedia.

The new season of the Turdor’s starts next week, but we have episode 1 already on demand. I called it up after the movie, and after three minutes fell asleep.

Movie Review–The Black Book

The Black Book is a WWII story (fictional) about a woman who works for the resistance as a spy inside the Nazi Headquaters.  Based in the Hague (it’s a Dutch film, in Dutch) it is a pretty interesting mystery / thriller as the woman falls for the lead SS commander, while at the same time passing information to the resistance and eventually being fingered as a double agent. The lead actress is kind of a babe, and the lead actor is the same as the lead in the movie ‘The Lives of Others’ which is a must rent if you are looking for another suspenseful tale. And as it is a Dutch movie, there is plenty of nudity. ]]>

Navy Catamaran just sped past

A catamaran, approximately 150 feet or so, just sped past my house in Chesapeake Beach heading North towards Annapolis.  It’s in Navy grey colors, but it is too far for me to get an other id information.  
If I locate a picture on Google I’ll let you know.  In the meantime here are a quick few pics I snapped (sorry, I need a bigger lens). Pictures here:  http://homepage.mac.com/penguinsix/PhotoAlbum6.html ]]>
