Movie reviews
There are some good movies out there right now, but not like the movies of the past. We have seen the way that CG has caused us to enter into worlds that we have never dreamed of and seen creatures that were only in dreams(or Nightmares). But what about those classics that brought us to where we are now. I guess one of the most argued Question in history is what is the BEST movie out there. Of course you have the Brain dead that will say The Godfather without taking a breath, but if you put some real thought into it, there are many movie that are worth considering. There is one Movie in 1984 that really stirs me RED DAWN I have seen a lot of movies over the years, but there is something raw about the way that it was filmed. The idea of America being under seize. We have all types of war movies out there, but none of them go this direction. And the timing of this movie being at the peak of the Cold War with the Russians could put a chill in anyone during those days. I remember nights as a 13 year old boy looking up in the sky and thinking that at any time we could be seeing a missile in the sky that could destroy us in a blink of an eye. I actually remembered crying in bed not wanting to die yet. I know I wasn't the only one that felt that we were on the edge of a razor blade in those days. When I saw this movie, it was very disturbing. If you truely want to see a good movie, go to the video store and rediscover this classic. It may not be the greatest movie ever made, ( it was knocked out of the running just because Patrick Swayze is in it) but it had a very strong impact on our generation growing up in some pretty scary times

Merry christmas
We are celebrating Christmas a little different this year. Instead of letting the retail market get the best of our hard earned cash, we decided to hold off for one wek to give gifts in order that we might be able to find the same things we were going to buy last week on sale. Now we have begun to find a flaw in this experiment, which is that most stores have been stripped of all of their stock and the employyes seem to be a little less than friendly due to the fact that they are working the day after christmas. I guess I would be a little unhappy as well. Our plan also included going to the christmas tree lots and picking out a tree that would have been left over from the season, and would fetch little or no cost to us. Again, we ran into the problem that most of the tree lots closed shop a week before christmas, and the only trees that were found made the charlie brown christmas tree look like a 10 foot douglas fur. We did however find some rough looking trees on the trashpiles in front of some peoples house (which leads you to wonder what kind of person throws away a christmas tree less than 24 hours after the big event). Well the good thing is that fake christmas trees do go on sale along with the wrapping paper and ordiments. Well, the rest of the week is going to be interesting to see if we can muster up enough christmas spirit as the rest of the world tries to go back to the normal hustle and bustle. We do hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and for those that swim against the calendar of the retail world, Pre- Merry Christmas to you.
