WOW!!! I Liked This One BETTER Than IRON MAN!!!

I was totally BLOWN AWAY by Speed Racer this past weekend!!! I really didn't know what to expect with this movie. I knew that it was going to be a visually hyper experience, but as I was starting to read reviews from the trusted sites I visit, I began to see that this was going to be more than just some silly attempt to turn a cartoon into a live action movie!

These two steal the whole movie!!! It's SPRITLE and CHIM-CHIM!!! I think one of the greatest things about these two are that you can really see how much Spritle loves and adores Chim-Chim. I really would love to see a whole line of Spritle shirts come out. Che Chim had to be one of my favorite shirts he had on. That and be sure to check out the Pajamas these two sport early on.


I don't really know how to explain how it felt watching this on the big screen. There were so many moments that really drove this movie. This was a total family movie and it was about a family sticking together. Loving and admiring eachother's gifts and talents and not detouring eachother from reaching their goals. You knew that this family loved and supported eachother. You knew that from the moment the film started. The first 10 minutes of this movie is true story telling at it's finest. With in all of the racing and action, it tells the story of Speed's older brother Rex and the tragedy that befalls the Racer family. Interwoven so well, I got chills and was amazed at how well it was told.

I'll be honest, there were alot of moments that gave me chills. Without giving away the ending, all I will say is that I was FLOORED. Chills galore. Even Dawn was taken with this movie. She saw the previews and already had set her mind up that she thought this was going to be stupid. I told her she might be suprised. I think she's this movie's biggest fan now. She said there were several times that she welled up with tears. THIS MOVIE IS THAT GOOD!!!


To see this movie in action is incredible. How well it flows. The backgrounds are just as important to the screen as what 's happening infront. And it gave me chills and hypnotized me the whole time. It's a living comic/cartoon!!! I wish I could see this one again. But time will not allow it just yet. It's another reason though to get that Blu-Ray player and High Def Television. This is one that will set the standard of High Def.

So, all I can say is get to the theater and see this movie! Fan or no fan of the cartoon, it doesn't matter. This movie is Fantastic! The kids will be glued to the screen with everything happening on it, and the older viewers will love the story. Next time, Indy and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!!!



(Just watch out for those Chim-Chim cookies!!!)

My New Love!!!

I have finally realized after all this time that I LOVE CRAWFISH!!!

Oh look at those scrumptious looking crawfish! It's taken some time for me to fall in total love with this food. I've been living off and on here in Louisiana for over 12 years now and it's not been until now that I have been brave enough to try and really like this.

I've done it once or twice and didn't like it. One reason why I didn't like it was that I thought it was too much work for such little results. You have to break and tear and get stuff all over your hands to get this little tail of meat. Why would I want to go through all of that for this?

Second reason why I didn't like it very much was that the couple of times that I had it, it tasted gross. One time I had it at a casino. Not very good. Another time, I had one and it was way too spicey. I put it on my lips and it burned for five minutes. Not good at all.

Then, I went to a barbeque place in DeRidder, and decided to get two pounds with some potatoes and corn. Let me go back a second. Everyone at my work rants and raves about crawfish. They love it. They all say which place is the best. I kind of felt out of place since I didn't really like it all that much. I went with my friend Kevin to a seafood place for lunch and he ordered some. He let me try a few and gave me a few pointers on how to eat it with out so much mess. They were okay. But once again, it was burning my lips.

Then we went to the Barbeque place. I ordered the two pounds with potatoes and corn. They were awesome! My mother-in-law helped me and even showed me how to eat the claws! The spice was really good and it did get hot but not burn your lips hot.

It finally hit me. This really isn't about eating it and getting full. Eating crawfish seems to me like it's more about having fun! It's not formal. It's realxed and laid back. If you fingers get messy, so what? I really enjoyed eating it. I had fun and when it was over, I was hooked! I keep begging my wife for more.

She finally caved in on Saturday. She let me run out and buy some. I got 10 pounds of the critters from J&T's here in Leesville. They made them perfect! Only wish that I had more potatoes that were cooked in with them. Brought them home and we chowed down on them. See the pictures?

(This is the aftermath. We tore through these suckers!!!)

So Now, I can say with out a doubt, I love me some CrawDaddys!!!!

I can't wait to do it again. But after eating this, I think I've had my fill for a few days. But I do feel the urge to buy some more coming soon. HEHEHE!

(I wonder if this is good for dieting???)
