What you missed, and what you should have




Sports -

NBA Finals ... The Celtics Won, can't really remember who they played, I'm not sure if anyone even showed up... But one thing is for sure, if anyone who deserved a championship as much as "Stockton to Malone," It was ... KG, to Ray, to Pierce........to Rondo? Long story short, Celtics take it 4-1

Stanley Cup - ummmmm.... yeah, Detroit something???

Soccer.. Cup - Espania Surprised everyone

Baseball - K, so nobody watches baseball but college baseball saw the biggest upset in baseball history with Fresno upsetting.... ummm... whoever they beat.... oh, and the AL won the AllStar Game...

Football - I just put this here cuz I miss it
And the surprise winner of the most exciting 21 hour sports "moment" since I last wrote goes to none other then the Athlete of the Year Mr. Tiger Woods, and his noteworthy opponent Mr. Rocco Mediate. For those of you who missed it, it took 91 holes to pick a winner... a Major is only supposed to take 72.

That's 38,700 Yards, or 22 Miles!!! Oh, and did I mention that Tiger just had surgery on his knee, oh and that he had TWO stress fractures in his Left leg. Try and tell me that these guys (this guy) aren't (isn't) athletes (an athlete). And with Tiger gone, Padraig Harrington was able to steal the British Open.

A close second would have to go to an Epic 5 hour battle between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in Tennis..es biggest championship known as Wimbledon. To everyone's surprise, despite an incredible rally by the best in Tennis, Rafa shut him down an took home the big prize. Venus also won for the like the 37th time or something

Yeah, this is gonna be a long one...

Movies-

So for the Movies, I think I'm just gonna grade them to keep this ummm still long... So here they are in order of release date/last time I posted about a movie (Semi-Pro).

The Other Boleyn Girl: B+ Dark, but well done... Henry VIII was the pimp who got "involved"

Run, Fat Boy, Run: A Marathonally Insparational

SuperHero Movie: B- Basicaly got what I expected out of this :)

Stop-Loss: B+ Doc'd for its clear MTV style message of ignorance... Other than that, terrific

IronMan: A++ Damn...

What Happens in Vegas: A- Very good comedy without being singularly situational

The CoN, Prince Caspian: B Very good compared to the first bomb

Indiana Jones: Crystal Skull: B+ Great start, got wackier and wackier as it went on

You Don't Mess with the Zohan: B Oversexed, but saved by a good message and a very hot Emmanuel Chiquiri



on my 5.. that's all I'm sayin...

The Incredible Hulk: B+ Again, props for a much improved version of the original, go Ed Norton


The Love Guru: B+ Surprisingly ..not "oversexed" mostly filled with great life lessons (really), and good comedy... Plus Justin Timberlake makes a great addition


Get Smart: A- Good wholesome fun, and not too situational, and I love The Rock!


for the ladies (also on my 5...)

W.A.L.L.E.: A Terrific, Funny, and incredibly endearing

Hancock: A- Better than I thought it would be, and a big ol' unexpected twist

Wanted: A+ Angelina, is wanted...by me (she's the other 3 of my 5)

The Dark Knight: A++++++ By far the best movie in 12 years (Dumb and Dumber, still my #1). It is sad that it will take a movie like this and a character so creepy to help us realize even more how much everyone will miss america's favorite Gay Cowboy

That's all I'll put on for now... and I think everyone will agree... that's enough for now, I hope to post more tomorrow...
