I can't believe I have been gone from this blog for a while. Things have been really crazy I just got back from a trip to New York and then I went to Las Vegas for a wedding. Had a great time, but as soon as I get back my job has been CRAZY!!!!!! Well, I don’t like to talk about the people I work with so I will move on, but I just hope that they gets a live, and keep it MOVING!!!!! Here is a photo of me in New York…..

My Friend The Motivational Speaker!

DVD RENTAL WEEKEND!

So this was one of those weekends where you don’t have a lot of money, and so I decided to stay home and a catch up on a few movie rentals:

Step Brothers:
This movie was very funny! The thought of two men in their 40s still living with their folks and addicted to teen stuff (toys, pornography, etc….) seems like the formula foa a funny movie! Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are comedy are so funny in this film, that you cannot help but laugh at them. This movie had me in laughing from beginning to end. If you are looking for a good flick to make you laugh until you cry, this is the rental for you!

Changeling!
I have to admit that I did not want to rent this move, but once I saw it I was glad that I did. This was an emotional and powerful piece that was directed by Clint Eastwood. Angelina Jolie’s performance was outstanding! the Universal release looks poised to do some serious business upon tentatively scheduled opening late in the year.

This story is based on the disappearance of a child and his mom’s search looking for him. What follows is a serious look at police corruption during this time.

Eastwood does an excellent job unfolding a shocking story, while creating suspense that keeps the viewer sitting on the edge of their seat from start to finish.

Wow! Here I go again!

I don’t know why it is hard for me to keep up with posting! I can’t believe that I have not been on lately. Here is an update:

Weight loss: I have lost at total of forty pounds, so far, but I still have a long way to go. My goal this week is to work out for the rest of the week. I did work out on Tuesday with the trainer and that went well. I am going to do my best to stay on that goal. I also had my first fill on Monday, and my stomach feels a little tight, but not bad.

Photo: Wow! This business is going really well, I am booked Friday and Saturday, and to think that I have not even had to advertise yet. Next week I am shooting a really, really “cool” music video so I will be taking time off.

Valentine’s Day: Well, let’s just say that we celebrated on Sunday instead of Saturday, by the time we went out to dinner, of course everything was full, so we ordered take out and went out on Sunday. I was cool with that because I think that everyday for us is Valentine’s Day!

Movie Update: Well, I have not had time to see anything but that will change this weekend.

More updates coming soon!

Sundance 2009!!!!

As you know I just got back from Sundance, and it was great. I was a little upset that I did not get to see the film, “Push,” but I did get to see the following:

Don’t Let Me Drown: In a post-September 11th world overflowing with fear and hate, two Latino teens discover that sometimes the only thing that can keep them from drowning is love. Gina Torres was “Excellent” in this film.

Dare: Dare follows three very-different teenagers through the last semester of high school. Not a great movie, all the teens were “real,” adults so you did not get a good meaning of a real story.

Children of Invention: For immigrants, the American Dream has always been a symbol of success that meant achieving a new life far removed from past hardships. In his feature film debut, director Tze Chun explores this age-old perception through the eyes of a Chinese American family in suburban Boston.Single mother Elaine Cheng struggles to support her two young children, Raymond and Tina, by juggling various sales jobs. Very good. The children in this film, were AWESOME!

Also while in the airport I saw Big Boi (From Outcast), with his wife, and on the way back to LA Nas was on the plane so that was pretty cool.

Why Is This Movie Number One?

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

I cannot believe that this movie has been Number one for the past two weeks. I only went to see it after the “Big,” movie. Like most silly comedy films this one did have its moments but for the most part was very boring
( I even went to sleep). The plot was a retold story and many parts were obvious. You should wait for the DVD.

Notorious BIG!

Have I been slacking or what! I have been to, two different films, and I have not put anything up yet about them. Also I have highlights from my trip to Sundance. I can’t believe that I have been their twice! Lucky me!

The long arrival for a great film, the life and times of Notorious BIG! I really enjoyed this film, it took me back to the 90’s and all of the fun that I use to have. The film includes lots of new faces and some old ones, but this mixture is what makes the film.

The film really captivated me for the entire two hours. The portrayl of Lil Kim actually gave you an insight of what she was like. The relationship that Notorious had with his mom was so interesting to me, because I never knew that they were so close, and Angela Bassett, as his mom, was a great choice.

Te flick also showed how Puff and Big became friends, and how they were able to inspire each other. Not because of their dedication to each other, but also because you see where how Puff became the person is now, and how he had to work very hard to make Bad Boy what is is today. It was great to see how Big believed in him so much that he was able to get out of the game. This film is a must see!
