Merry and I watched Alien VS. Predator I had already seen it as a crappy download. This was after goofing it up and downloading this fine film in Russian, then French by mistake. I found the film OK. I had trouble getting into the film as most people would but I had not read the Dark Horse comics and was not into it. Merry LOVED it. To my shock she thought it was awesome? Well I guess that's one thumbs up from her. I rent it again, NOT.For me it was just to unbelievable. With todays computer generated images I can be lulled into a false sense of realism as easily as anyone but the blatant disregard for reality for example hanging out in the antarctic in a shirt with no coat during a storm was just to much for me.

AVP: Alien Vs. Predator



Next movie is Dodgeball. Merry found this movie to be a hoot and you get a thumbs up on this one from her. The silliness and off the wall laughs are what made it for her as well as Patches O'Houlihans untimely demise which made me wake up when Merry was laughing. Could have been the entire pizza I ate or the same old Ben Stiller, Zoolander character but I found the film only mildly amusing. I must admit that if I had seen the parts I slept through it might have left a better impression on me.I would still recommend seeing it though.

Dodgeball


Finally our last review is for Napoleon Dynamite. This movie was well rated by my pals and appeared to be very funny from the trailers. Merry and I both really liked it.We were told that it is so stupid it's funny. Even Belen said so, the only endorsement of a movie I ever heard from him. I believe the more you watch it the more you will get out of it. The whole concept was very well conceived. On the DVD you can see the short black and white home movie made that inspired this full length movie. A total lack of crude language and gratuitous crap resulted in a Funny movie that brings it all home to us geeks(of course I was one of them ) to any one even a little like this guy in grade school. This is a must rent movie. One thing the character that played the Uncle kept reminding me of someone I had seen before, it turned out to be Jon Gries who played Laslo in the movie Real Genius.

Well, we sent off John Clark in typical ATF/MDOC style by sitting around and drinking. At the facility John was doused repeatedly with water from the towers. Merry and I arrived at Artesian Wells about 1330 and we ate. She enjoyed Some awesome homemade style chicken soup and half a BLT. I had the 5 for$5 Angus mini burgers. All were great except for the appetizer which was stuffed portabella mushrooms, not unlike someone had consumed a sausage pizza then puked on some mushrooms. YUMMY. Belen, a co worker on transportation arrived after Merry and I sat at the bar, but after an hour he left. I was ready to go also when around 1530 they started showing up. Merry had the chance to meet several of my co workers, happy to meet most of them and naturally glad to not meet others. Both John and Marty strongly recomend that I go to Jackson myself. I shall consider it

Merry and I followed the event with a stop at Leslies finest (both) Bar and Grills.Shaggys Bar offers no credit card service and very small selection of beers. I had the opportunity to notice that the mens room has no stall for the shitter so I enjoyed a long piss while an old and scruffy guy took a long and very smelly dump at the same time. More than ready to take off we went across the street to the Crossroads., I noted that the bathroom was set up the same as Shaggys only more cramped but outside of that it was a pretty classy joint with Two of Michigan Brewery's best on tap. I enjoyed a wheat brew. I have never had a deep fried chili dog but it was good enough to try again
