We've been up on that hill ten times, and they still don't think we're serious.




Last night I watched Hamburger Hill a movie about the actual battle that took place in May of 1969 about the The 187th Infantry Regiment and The 101st Airborne Division who had to take a hill in Thua Thien Province. It took them ten days a because of the well fortified North Vietnam trench's. But after heavy rain,friendly fire and more then 70 dead and 300 wounded they finally get to the top of the hill.  The film stars a young Don Cheadle in his forth film.  We Gotta Get out of This Place by the Animals was a good choice for this movie. The music by Philip Glass is also really good. Platoon is next.

If you could make God bleed, people would cease to believe in him, there will be blood in the water, the sharks will come. All I have to do is sit back and watch as the world consumes you.

Iron Man 2, the sequel to Iron Man which were both directed by Jon Favreau,star Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man where he has to battle a new enemy named Ivan Vanko(Mickey Rourke) a Russian who claims that Stark stole his father's ideas. So he goes off to battle Stark and get his revenge. Meanwhile back home, the government and military including a senator played by Garry Shandling and also Lt. Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes  played by Don Cheadle want Stark to share his power with the military. But Tony refuses.
The movie also stars  Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Scarlett Johansson, who must help Tony learn about his past. I like this movie first off, because of the wonderful soundtrack by AC/DC which features many of there classic songs such as Highway to Hell, Shoot to Thrill and If you want Blood. I also enjoyed the fight scenes. The robots are very cool as well.

 This is one my favorite films of 2010.

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

I watched Oceans 11 on TBS. It was the remake of the 1960 rat pack version. This version has every star you can think of from Brad Pitt to Goerge Clooney to Matt Damon also Don Cheadle,Carl Reiner,Julia Roberts and Bernie Mac Casy Affleck. They are all except Julia Roberts involved in a plan to rob the Bellagio, The Mirage, and the MGM Grand casinos in Las Vegas which are all owned by Terry Benedict(Andy Garcia). After many twists and turns and funny lines provided by Cheadle they finally get the money and Clooney goes back to prison for violating his parole. A few months later Clooney is released from jail and after he Brad and his wife Julia Roberts get away you see two of Benedict's men from the casino following them implying that there will Probably be a squeal which there was 2 of.
