How does it seem that we always hear about movie stars and athletes that carry guns to the airport and get caught. How does someone with normal intelligence not remember that they happened to have a gun in the one bag they choose to carry on the airplane. The list of people who had this stupid moment in their lives is huge. John Smith of Nowhere USA does not try to carry a gun on the plane why do the celebrities think they get a pass on this law.

This summer there will be a lot of big movies that sound very appealing to me. I like to watch action movies in the theater so I can get the effect of the big screen. There are several action movies and superhero movies coming out this year. I will try to catch as many as I can, although the price of a theater ticket is getting very expensive. If I can only see one of the new movies in the theater, I hope to watch the new Transformers movie. That looks like its going to be a blockbuster!

Just got home from the store and we picked up a new movie that I have been wanting to see since it was in the theaters, Leatherheads looks like a funny movie that we both will enjoy. George Clooney has never struck me as a great actor but I have come to enjoy some of his roles and his movies in general. I really .like the movie O Brother Where Art thou, now that was a very fun movie to watch and I am sure it was a fun one to be in too. I hope this movie turns out to be good cause movie night is coming up and I want it to be a good one.

We bought a real nice boxed set of DVD’s all of historical movies for our grandson David to enjoy when he comes over to our house. The great set includes, Portraits of American Presidents on 3 DVD’s and 2 disc about the 20th century and one about the American Indians, overall a great set for a youngster to learn from. I think that even some one who is almost over the hill like me can learn from this nice boxed set. I think I will start watching it tonight, I have the night off and I know I will be a few hours before I can get to sleep so a good movie will be just what the doctor ordered, to put me right to sleep.

Over the weekend we went out to the movies, something we hardly ever do anymore to see the new Indian Jones movie. I liked it and thought it fell into the same group as the first three, good strong movies.

Harrison Ford is a great actor when he has a strong script and a strong cast to work with. His recent work has been ok but not the same as his Star Wars, and Indiana Jones movies, which I think were great. Go see this good movie on the big screen do not wait for DVD.

Another Hollywood legend died this week, brilliant comedian Harvey Korman died this week at 88. I remember the role he had in the great movie Blazing Saddles as well as on the Carol Burnett Show in the sixties. I loved his work with Tim Conway and he will sorely be missed. There are not many with comedic talent of Harvey Korman.

Over the weekend I was saddened to see that Sydney Pollock had died of cancer. I have really enjoyed his movies over the years and his loss will be felt in both the movie world and our also. A sad weekend to be sure. His best movie with out a doubt was “Out of Africa” God speed Sydney.

Sydney Pollack: 1934-2008

If Amy Winehouse does not get her life in order she will slide from the radar faster than a stealth jet under fire. I am one of these people who grow more and more tired of the lame act that the celebrities keep putting us through. One gets arrested this last weekend for carrying a loaded gun in his carry on luggage and can only say I forgot. They deserve to go to jail and I hope some judge finally gets tired of the lame act and sens a star to jail for a long time.
