I Love You Movies

I have seen a number of good movies in the past few weeks, here is an update
I love You Philip Morris (4.5 Stars out of 5), a con movie about gay man in Texas who never give up in trying to con his way. Jim Carrey is a great cast in this role, running around scamming people and making it look good in the process. Entertaining flick with great cast and mostly convincing plot.

Trailer

Stolen (4 Starts out of 5), a movie about a father in search of his abducted child takes him to a journey back in time in a small town where a father has to deal with a similar story. Interesting movie with some good acting and cinematography. Josh Lucas' best role in a long time

Info

From Paris With Love (4 out of 5), you cannot say no to a great action movie, this was no different, if you miss Wacky John Travolta who can kick you in the chin, please look this movie up, you can never predict what he will do or what twist this movie will take. On another note the director of this movie also directed Taken, but in both movies you can either have the Arab or the Muslim to blame for the problems. The only good Arab in in this directors' work is serving mint tea.

The Tango Boys Are BACK

If Argentina does not win the World Cup 2010, I do not know who else will. Diego Maradona is the golden man of this tournament.

2 to 0 Argentina is ahead and Mexico is not looking too good right now....Yes, that was an offside goal that counted, but the second goal reminds you that Argentina is not a one hit wonder. The Referee of this game is another story, he seems to lose control and unable to be in charge of the game that might go down as one of the greats games in the Latin American world. I will be surprised if this ref gets another gig with Fifa. I am glad to have lived to see this game where a man looking for redemption takes charge and leads his country toward greatness.

I think we will have at least 2 more goals, I can see Mexico scoring one, but their goalkeeper seems to be shaken, their players are tailing Messi and other play makers, Mexico has to improve their defense, and their center needs to have more power. I am more than happy with the Argentina goal keeper

Mexico is trying to do what Algeria attempted to do, a shot out, shot at site...meaning once you have a shot or what looks like one, take it.

And the third goal for Argentina was a rocket....you really cannot stop balls like that. Awesome shot for Argentina....that's what you get when you really admire and respect your coach. True soccer is when you have a team spirit Argentina....if they do not win this darn cup, I do not know who should....

I love Mexican soccer, but this time it's Tango time and the world will have to agree...I know for me Diego is a legend, I was five years old when he win the world cup, guess what? it's the best and first sport event I remember.

And Mexico scores! Good 3 to 1 will that energize them? Sure they will look better now...if they score one more they might feel good as that would make it look like a tie after the offside goal has been eliminated....but Argentina has a great defense, their goalie seems to let them down, he did not even flinch.

You can count on it Germany will meet Argentina in the next round...but I hope Mexico gets another goal. I did see the Mexican goal coming.

speed is what helps Argentina the time between deflecting an attack and taking to their home is short, they got the pace and the craft to win any game, it reminds me of the speed machine Germany has in 2006.

Killing People is Romantic, NYT Finds

If this is not fishy journalism, I do not know what is....when an Israeli kill Palestinians and British nationals in the 30s and 40s, a NYT editor finds it romantic.

A little-noticed comment in a New York Times interview with Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni has critics arguing that it shows the media has a "double standard" when it comes to terrorism.

In an interview published Tuesday, Livni, the leader of Israel's centrist Kadima party, boasted that her parents, both members of the Zionist militant group Irgun in the 1940s, were the first couple to be married in the newly-formed state of Israel.

"Both of them were in the Irgun," Livni said. "They were freedom fighters, and they met while boarding a British train. When the British Mandate was here, they robbed a train to get the money in order to buy weapons."

To which New York Times reporter Deborah Solomon responded: "It was a more romantic era."

"I've met interviewer Deborah Solomon -- smart lady," writes Philip Weiss, who brought attention to the comment on his blog. "I wonder whether she was inoculated, as I was, by Zionism, and to what degree. This is typically one-sided."

German Chocolate Cake

Germany took on England their historical rival and gave them a good run for their Pounds....it's 4 one right now and Germany seems to be at peace....their players seem a lot more relaxed yet a lot more aggressive than the English team.

This has been a fun game, England should have an extra goal but the referee did not see it come, it was in and it was clear to have entered the German goal, but it did not count.

UK has had been looking too well ever since the tournament started, Germany on the other hand looked good, had a setback in the Serbia game, UK did not lose a game, but they seem to be headed this way shortly in about 5 minutes.

I feel bad for the English team, Rooney feels alone and I do not see any other awesome goalkeepers, James is not as good as Green who had a flop and then was sent home....

Player number 8 in the German team has just shown us that he is well paid and for a god reason, he is a true play maker whose priority to get his German team ahead in the tournament. I like that about him, it reminds me of Zidan in a way.

I think I am ready to say both Germany and Argentina will advance and we are up to what will be a great World Cup. Cannot wait to read the headlines of the English newspapers tomorrow.

The US Ghana Game

US Ghana game was fun game to watch, it's the only time when an Arab and Muslims can root against the United States and not have to worry about being sent to Gitmo prison. I personally have not been to Gitmo, but I have been to Idaho, where else you have a bunch of armed white men surround a brown guy?

Right after the game the President of Ghana called the White House and asked not to have US foreign aid altered due to the US loss at the hands of the Ghana Soccer team. "I was cheering for the US secretly," he said.

Do you ever think about this, the World Cup is the only time your custodial knows about something more than you do.

Go Yankee Go

Go US

I am guessing everyone in the world might want the US to lose this game....I made up my mind, go US, I am looking forward for a great game.

Ghana is cool, but US is my home now.....Tim Howard is the man to watch....

I do not hope to see plenty kicks....I hope to see a clean game with American upper hand as they truly never give up and never sit idle.

The game has not started yet, but I just saw a Lebanese flag..weird

America is down by one...not a big deal....but the team seems to be overwhelmed and Ghana seems to have the upper hand, America has two yellow cards already. Ghana's goal was too easy to make it, but that's why Tim Howard probably thought...

The second half of the game is like watching a new game....the US is back for blood...Ghana is counting on great defense and stunning goalkeeper. But the US might score, the US will score....the US have to score and they got the players to deliver it.

Ghana is playing a bit more aggressive now, might be a bit dirty, but so far the referee has not called them out on it.

And there was a goal! US is back in the game! nothing like a penalty kick where the player tricks the goalkeeper!

Nice block by the Ghana goal keeper minute 66, he did the right thing and stopped Altidore before he comes near his post.

Ghana scores bringing the score to 2...one...now US has to play catchup

Too bad, America lost the game, but I think there was something was missing, not sure yet, but I thought they played hard, but not clear what they lacked this time around?
