"It's been a long road, getting from there to here..."

"...Its been a long time, but my time is finally here." No I'm not feeling nostalgic for Star Trek Enterprise as, quite frankly, it sucked. No I'm just saying one of two things, the first of all its been a while since I've written here, and that with my potential career change coming up and the weather turning to what us here in Manitoba consider to be "heavenly" things are starting to look up.

With my acreage of yard to take care of (actually its half an acre but still alot). and home improvements being needed I have ahead of me a busy slate. Jobs and tasks that at first seem daunting seem more attainable now. Maybe its my more positive out look on things now, who knows?

Regardless I'm going to talk about movies now, cause really whats something to look forward to in the summer other than movies???

First of all opening in theatres tomorrow is IRON MAN 2! This is a movie I have been looking forward to since well Iron man 1. I can go on and on about how awesome its going to be...but really do I have to? It's going to be for sure.

Secondly most eagerly anticipated movie this summer for me is.....THE LAST AIRBENDER!!! Surprised?? Sure it seems a kinda kidish and its directed by exhausted hack of a director M. Night Shahalimananana*&(). I could of looked up the spelling but that was more fun :D. Regardless I'm looking forward to this as I am a huge and avid fan of the cartoon its based on called Avatar: the Last Airbender. They had to change the title due to the titanic sized turd of a film Avatar just coming out and frankly good call to distance yourself from that as much as possible. (See previous post on my feelings of Avatar). For those of you who don't know of the cartoon, it was an anime styled cartoon on the Nickelodeon network. The basic premise is their is a world split into four nations, Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Peoples of these nations can learn to "bend" or control the elements. Every generation a person born of one of these nations is the Avatar and has the ability to control all four and is supposed to guide the world as a leader. But the avatar goes missing and the fire nation strikes and attacks the rest of the world. Regardless for a "kids" cartoon it was extremely well written and engaging as a story. For any of you who are reading this I highly recommend to rent/download or watch YTV or NICK channels for episodes of Avatar: the Last Airbender. Just because its "for kids" doesn't mean its not good. Remember one of the most successful movie franchises of all time was dubbed "just for kids" and people of all ages love it. This of course being Star Wars. s0 :p

Long enough rant on that. Other movies that I'm looking forward to are (in no particular order) Robin Hood, A-Team, The Expendibles, the Losers just to name a few. Please comment on any I may have forgotten. Well that's all I got for now, so enjoy the summer movie line up!!

Ciao for now
