Return to Me (MGM 2000)

2009-12-14T22:27:00.006-05:00

An eight-year-old boy had a younger sister who was dying of leukemia, and he was told that without a blood transfusion she would die. His parents explained to him that his blood was probably compatible with hers, and if so, he could be the blood donor. They asked him if they could test his blood. He said sure. So they did and it was a good match. Then they asked if he would give his sister a pint of blood, that it could be her only chance of living. He said he would have to think about it overnight.

The next day he went to his parents and said he was willing to donate the blood. So they took him to the hospital where he was put on a gurney beside his six-year-old sister. Both of them were hooked up to IVs. A nurse withdrew a pint of blood from the boy, which was then put in the girl’s IV. The boy lay on his gurney in silence while the blood dripped into his sister, until the doctor came over to see how he was doing. Then the boy opened his eyes and asked, “How soon until I start to die?”

I heard this story in church a long time ago, and it has inspired me not only to give blood at the American Red Cross but be an organ donor as well.

This week's film Return to Me is a great film with many outstanding values I think you and your family with enjoy immensely!

And hey...while you're at it this Christmas why not visit the Red Cross and give some blood to folks who really need it? If you're scared of needles, write the Red Cross a check! They need that too!

Here is a review from IMDb...

In this comedy-drama which shows us how the tragic death of one human being can still save the life of another, a happily-married man (David Duchovny) is struck with tragedy when his wife (Joely Richardson) dies from complications of a car accident. In her death, however, another is given life, as another young woman (Minnie Driver) with an ailing heart is given a transplant. Finally able to live a normal, happy life for the first time in years, she joins her grandfather in helping to run an Irish-themed restaurant, where she meets the widower, never imagining that the heart beating in her chest belonged to his wife. They slowly fall madly in love with each other, but when she learns the shocking truth, she is torn by whether or not she should let him know about the transplant she received and who it came from.

Here is the trailer...

Sorting out the BCS mess

2009-12-11T09:13:00.019-05:00

Well, first off, here's what you DON'T DO!

DO NOT...UNDER ANY CIRCUMCISIONS...LET OUR GOVERNMENT GET INVOLVED IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

This is a simple rule that even some of my most conservative friends do not understand. What I find most disturbing is fans of non-BCS teams are running around blind waving their hands in the air...

Finally! We get to break up the BCS monopoly! Finally! We get to stick it to those RICH BCS schools! Finally! The playing field will be level and it won't have to deal with money!

And what are they hearing from Congress...?

Fear not little non-BCS schools. We'll go after those mean ol' BCS tyrants! You just sit back and relax and enjoy your little ice cream cone.

But what our government is really saying...

We're going to make your little pathetic football programs so dependent on us, your great grandchildren won't even know what the hell a football is.

Don't you think our government has more important things to worry about? I mean, like people trying to kill us? Like supporting our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq? Have you ever considered the millions and millions of dollars it will cost the American taxpayer for Congress to hold BCS Hearings(If we haven't already?) Hmmm? Not to mention the delays and lack of progress to solve this issue?

So who's to blame for the BCS?

Go look in the mirror. YOU ARE! You the college football fan, whether you pull for non-BCS or a BCS school, YOU ARE TO BLAME! WE ALL ARE! WHY?!? Because we did not act when the NCAA came up with this Bogus Crap Selection process. We did not contact our athletic directors and say unto them...

If you think for one damn minute I am going to give another dime to this institution while you sit back and watch this $#!% happen you must be out of your FREAKING MIND!!!!!

We, the fans, were afraid to stand up to the NCAA, the conferences, and even our own schools we so dearly love and question their decisions. We figured...hell, they know what they're doing up there, right?

History has proven, without a doubt...THEY DID NOT!

So what do we do? How do we solve the BCS mess?

According to the NCAA, the BCS teams are no different that the non-BCS teams. They all have to follow the same rules and regulations, right?

Well, think of it as each individual school has made an investment and are shareholders in the NCAA. If you're a shareholder of a Fortune 500 company and you invest just as much money as the next shareholder, but for some unknown reason you receive less than other shareholders, what do you do?

What do you do? Call Obama? Your senator? Some government agency? You could do that, but more than likely your gripe will get lost on the bottom of the pile of some bureaucrat's desk.

What if you sold your share and ceased to have any relationship with that Fortune 500 company?

What if the non-BCS schools left the NCAA entirely and formed a new athletic association? Not for just football but all collegiate sports?

I know it sounds crazy, but hang with me here.

But, but, (sniff-sniff) we we need them!

Why? WHY? WHY DO WE NEED THEM?!! Please explain to me why do non-BCS schools need other BCS schools?!? Why does East Carolina need to play UNC and NC State? Why does Southern Mississippi need to play Ole Miss and Mississippi State?

Be-because (sniff-sniff), we need the money and (sniff-sniff) the TV.

Wait a minute...wait a minute...money? MONEY? I thought that was the problem in the first place with the BCS?

If you want to talk about money why couldn't this new athletic association pay players? The NCAA doesn't. Do you honestly think the talent the BCS teams are getting will actually say...

No, no, I won't play for Northern Illinois even though they'll pay me money and I can actually have some sort of life outside of college football and my classes. I'd rather play for Illinois where I can play on TV and maybe go to the Rose Bowl.

Yah right.

But-but (sniff) where are we going to get the money to pay players? The economy is bad.

The economy is bad. However, from what I can tell my non-BCS school that I graduated from is planning an expansion of not only its football stadium but also building a brand spankin' new softball stadium.

Don't think for one minute non-BCS schools don't give pay increases to athletic directors and coaches. As long as you keep buying the merchandise, the hot dogs, the Pepsi's, the tickets, the club dues, the money will always be there...and you know you did it this past fall...even with this BIG BAD economy. DO NOT TELL ME YOU DIDN'T.

Oh yes and try to remember sports fans, the NCAA is still the same bunch of a--holes who go around and tell schools what they can and cannot call their mascot, too.

East Carolina hosted Football Championship Series (FCS) (formerly Division I-AA) Appalachian State in its first game of the 2009 season.

Not a BCS team but a FCS team.

43,279 went to that game in Greenville. Later in the season ECU hosted ACC and BCS member Virginia Tech...43,569 went to that one...but...you know...we need the BCS to like us.

Oh and by the way, this new athletic association will actually have a football playoff and ACTUALLY crown a true national champion at the end of the season! Imagine...no bowl games.

As far as television goes, if it's a big game...it will be on the tube. With the talent these non-BCS teams will receive for paying players and an exciting football playoff to watch instead of the Meineke Car Care Bowl I'd say this is a grand opportunity.

More than likely. however, it's a grand opportunity that no one has the stomach for.

Too risky.

I'd rather just complain and bitch.

Just let the guvment handle it.

True, the government can step in and tell everyone in college football to play nice, but can't we the fans demand more from our favorite schools, sports conferences and the NCAA?

Very powerful and important video I found on Random Acts of Patriotism...

Good movie to watch if you've never seen this...

REPOST

I wanted to save this movie for December, but folks it's just too good (and too accurate) to keep passing up! Below is one user's comments from IMDb about the film...

Whether you want to waste time seeing Brucheimer and Bay's self-indulgently long Pearl Harbor with its totally extraneous fictional romance -- that's up to you. But whether you see it or not, the real history of the human stupidity on both sides of the Pacific that created the attack is clearly portrayed in TORA! TORA! TORA!

The new DVD edition has insightful commentary by the director plus a documentary about the attack. This film is tensely paced and displays and excellent cast. The Jerry Goldsmith score is kept to a minimum but is very effective. The special FX for the attack are all the more impressive considering they were done before the advent of computer generated FX such as those in Pearl Harbor -- and they equal those of Pearl Harbor.

Tora! Tora! Tora! is the real deal, so go out and rent it! You won't be sorry!

Here is the trailer!

Juno (FOX 2007)

2009-11-23T14:21:00.006-05:00

Don't look now, but Hollywood has made another pro-life movie!

Wha...huh? Another one?

Sure, remember Knocked Up? Interestingly, that film was released right before Juno.

Yep, apparently the good ol' days of Fast Times at Ridgemont High are over for Hollywood! People doing the right thing sells those tickets now!

Here is the summary from IMDb...

A tale told over four seasons, starting in autumn when Juno, a 16-year-old high-school junior in Minnesota, discovers she's pregnant after one event in a chair with her best friend, Bleeker. In the waiting room of an abortion clinic, the quirky and whip-sharp Juno decides to give birth and to place the child with an adoptive couple. She finds one in the PennySaver personals, contacts them, tells her dad and step-mother, and carries on with school. The chosen parents, upscale yuppies (one of whom is cool and laid back, the other meticulous and uptight), meet Juno, sign papers, and the year unfolds. Will Juno's plan work, can she improvise, and what about Bleeker? Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

Where do you go to make your dreams come true?

I mean...where?

Canada?

France?

Great Britain?

China?

No.

America. The good ol' US of A. That's what New Zealander Burt Munro did, and guess what? It's a true story! Here's the review from IMDb...

For 25 years in Invercargill at the south end of New Zealand, Burt Munro (1899-1978) has been working on increasing the speed of his motorcycle, a 1920 Indian. He dreams of taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats to see how fast it will go. By the early 1960s, heart disease threatens his life, so he mortgages his house and takes a boat to Los Angeles, buys an old car, builds a makeshift trailer, gets the Indian through customs, and heads for Utah. Along the way, people he meets are charmed by his open, direct friendliness. If he makes it to Bonneville, will they let an old guy on the flats with makeshift tires, no brakes, and no chute? And will the Indian actually respond?

Munro meets some interesting people in the United States, some good and some not. But eventually his dreams...well...watch the movie!

Edge Reviews "V" Premiere

2009-11-04T09:16:00.008-05:00

Great show last night everybody! If you missed the premiere of ABC's V you should be kicking yourself...and hard too! Hopefully, Hulu or ABC will have the pilot on-line to watch soon.

So why was V so great? Let me try my best to paint you a picture.

An alien race comes to Erf with a message of peace and hope. The alien's (or V's short for Visitors) appear to be perfect in every way. Plus they are willing to share their technology for the exchange of Erf's water and minerals which they say they need to survive.

Most humans embrace the V's as saviors to the world. In return, the V's invite the humans to their ships healing them of their illnesses...a form of "health care" mentioned later in the program.

However, there are other humans that don't embrace the V's. Of course, these protesters are looked down upon because they are afraid to embrace "change."

And wouldn't you know it? The V's aren't actually human looking after all! They are in fact green lizard looking things with a flesh human shell! Oh and they've been living among us for quite some time as sleeper cells...and they have finally found the perfect time to strike!

Is any of this sounding a little familiar? No?

If you're an Obamabum and you watched last night's program you couldn't possibly walk away from the TV and be happy. In one hour V laid a prime time smackdown on the Obama administration that even the most conservative leader could only dream of making.

And gee whiz...I don't know. I thought the timing to air the pilot was pretty sweet. I mean election night? Really?

Now, the writer's tried to do a little Bush bashing during the show (you'll have to watch the premiere to see if you can catch it.) However, it was too little to late.

Here's the bottom line on V folks. Obama cannot be happy with this program. There is just no way.

Move over 24, V is here to take over as the new right winger TV series!
