Mystic River!! AGGGH!!!
Let me see: Guys kill the wrong man because they do not enough brains to pour piss out of a boot. The murdered guys wife seems to not give a damn and dosen't pitch a bitch and the cop knows who did it but what the heck enjoy the parade and wave. And these guys were friends at one time. Without a doubt this was one of the most inane and stupid movies I have seen is quite a while. Not as bad as THE ARK but real CLOSE

Well the better half and I went out last night and also watched Hildago. It was OK, but the wife loved it so it was a great movie.

Cy....
Having grown up in SW DEEEEtroit I use to watch the Dead, I mean Red Wings at the BIG O. I am not a hockey fan. I have more serious issues than that...I have to admit...I have a major problem... I am a LIONs fan... Said it...Now you will know to take anything I say with a grain of salt... Let me tell you it isn't easy these days being from MoTown and not being a Red Wings fan, but they were so sorry for so long when I grew up. I just keep waiting, hoping, praying for the LIONs drought to end like the Wings drought did...
