Movies that Took away precious moments of my life that i may never get back....

(a.k.a. stay away from this shit...)

"Brick"
Some people had this on their top ten list, I thought it was prentious.

"Skeleton Key"
I couldn't concentrate on this for some reason. No matter how cute Kate is.

"Diary of a Mad Black Woman"
Started good, ended bad. Bad bad bad.

"Hollywoodland"
Even with Superman in it, I could have cared less"

"Snakes on a Plane"
There is a reason this movie didn't live up to hype. It sucks."

"Closer"
Good performances, thats it.

"Beer League"
Message to Artie Lange, don't quit your day job...

"Black Dahlia"
DePalma, where are you dude.

"Lady in the Water"
Put a cork in M.Night, he's done.

"The Last Kiss"
This was supposed to be realisitic? OK.

"Beowulf and Grendel"
Go see Lord of the Rings again or 300.

"Memoirs of Geisha"
I don't remember much

"DaVinci Code"
Great looking movie, great premise, yet empty. Keep trying Opie.

"Slither"
Nice throwback to 80's horror. But its 2007.

"Pulse"
If you have one after seeing this, go watch the Asian original.

"Demon Lover"
Again great looking flick, yet totally boring.

"Crank"
Made me want to take crank during it to make it go by even faster. (Parrot gag was funny) UPDATE: I wrote this post while watching it, after finishing it, this is by far the worst movie I have seen in a long time.

I wanna know where da gold at...

If you have never seen this before then you are in for a treat. It is real. Very real. Enjoy.

The Grandma Arnold Show is over...

My Grandma passed away this morning. Not a lot to say at the moment. But I am posting a radio show in two parts that we did together when I was 10. My cousin Melissa always liked it, and I have great memories making it with my both my Grandparents. Peace out Grandma...

Long Time no Blog

Hello. I'm almost positive no one is reading this anymore. I have been real busy and not a lot of time to blog. My post today concerns blogging. I am seriously thinking of closing down this blog and starting over with a more themed style blog. For example, maybe I should just blog about movies and nothing else. Or maybe I should start a basketball blog. Could be fun? Or maybe I should leave it the same and just press on. Or perhaps I should pull the plug and stay off the grid entirely. I do know one thing, I do want to redesign I'm looking for suggestions here! Any comments would be welcome.

Honeymoon Nov. 10th (cell phone pics)

We stopped into an internet cafe espreso place called SCANNERS to check the blog. Apparently not all my cell phone pics are being uploaded to the blog site. So if you want to see them all click on one of the photos and it will take you to the Flicker website where the photos are hosted and then click on "view slideshow" to the right of the photo and then click on the thumbnails to see each of the photos.

Hope everyone at home is doing well. We are having a fun time. It was sunny yesterday, but today has been typical Northwest rainy all day. Our hotel and beach house are awesome. So far we have had beach views every night. We can watch the storms come in every day and night. Really cool!!!

Peace out,
Erik and Amy

I'm Married

Well I'm married. More later....

Thoughts...

Sorry for not being a better blogger, but it has been busy a busy time. So here are a few things on my mind:

1. My boss Herb Pease Sr. died on Tuesday this week. I'm still in a state of denial I guess. I don't know what to do or say about it. Is that bad? Maybe so. But I really loved the guy, and he was the one person that was willing to take a chance on me and my dream, and I don't intend to let him down. I know he's up there watching me. I will miss him very much.

2. The wedding. I will be married on Sunday to the most bestest woman in the world. Things are tense now, but hopefully when all is said and done, we can get back to normal. Weddings bring out the best and worst in people. Elope is a good word. Off to the Northwest...

3. The Mavs. Played the Spurs last night. Where is Devin? Has he gone? Is he suddenly a bench player now that his mind is blown. Relax and play the game.

4. The Borat movie comes out today. I like Borat, but I am sick of seeing him everywhere. I predict his popularity will be the death of that character. PeeWee Herman anyone?

5. Halloween was a sad one with everything going on. Next year will be better.

6. Work is insane. Lots of projects coming in. Some good, some bad. I've become quite good at making bad stuff look good. I'm not sure if that is a trend I need to follow to closely.

7. Cloning, when will this happen? I need one right away.

8. Customer Service has been really bad lately everywhere I go. Maybe I'm getting old and cranky, but people are getting dumber and slower everyday. (See Idiocracy review below).

9. Movies. Have not had time to watch much. Did see History of Violence. As a Cronenberg devote I was quite disappointed. It was a mature film for him, but he's more creative than that. I thought it could have been more interesting.

10. Albert Brooks. Genius.

11. Smallville. Still enjoy the show, but where are we going? Is there an end in sight? Superman Returns Again got the greenlight. Wise move.

12. Blue-Ray or HD? That is the question. Wait it out. Got a Slingbox the other day. Hooked up only to find it does not work yet with Macs even though it says it does on the box. Took it back, then two weeks later they come out with it and it works with Macs. I can't win the technology marathon. Its hopeless.

13. Heroes TV show, Its getting really good. But again where will it go, and will we like it once we get there?

14. Bought a nightvision camera for security. Recorded Amy and I sleeping one night. I do a lot of reaching with my arms into the air for no apparent reason. Flying or climbing?

15. Wedding. Holy crap I gotta go get married!
