An Ordinary Day with A Last Stand

A mostly easy day I reckon. An early morning family phone call (no bad news).  Breakfast at the Hickory Pit.  A trip to Fry's. Then, off to see a movie - Tony and I decided to catch "The Last Stand" with Arnold.  It was exactly what it appears to be - an action movie with some snappy (and corny) dialogue. Definitely a popcorn movie and definitely recommended as such.

After the movie we grabbed lunch at Red Robin, then I went for a long walk, initially around the shopping center, then down through San Tomas Aquino park. An afternoon nap, a dinner of left-over pizza, an episode of America Unearthed and an episode of Ancient Aliens, then another walk through the neighborhood in the cool darkness of the winter evening. Somewhere in there I also answered several work email did some prep work for a working session tomorrow, and sorted junk mail.

Attack the Block

Aliens invade a tough neighborhood in south London. Edgar Wright. By the people who brought you Shaun of the Dead. It looks good. With Nick Frost as "Ron the Weed Dealer".

Taken or Liam Neeson Shoots A Lot Of People

Okay, I saw a second movie today, this time in the evening with my friend Tony. We saw "Taken", with Liam Neeson. I can sum the movie up with a subtitle. As we came out of the theatre I referred to the movie as "Taken: Liam Neeson Shoots A Lot Of People". That pretty much sums up the movie. There was a plot. I think it was Liam Neeson shoots people. It is a pure action adventure movie - nothing more, nothing less. Enjoyable pop-corn fare, if Liam Neeson shooting people is in your line of movies, then I would definitely recommend this one.
