3 ½ Stars goes to Hancock




Starring Will Smith, directed by Will Smith, Produced by Will Smith. And yes it was a script written just for a Will Smith attitude.

Really his character was much like Men in Black. This character just doesn’t know how to act. He just keeps on being the same person in all his films. The movie was pretty silly. Though violent. The special effects were pretty lame the cinematography was too tight in most places (made me dizzy) and the music was too hard of rock to enjoy and didn’t really add to the plot.

I think I wont keep this movie on tape but will delete it really once you seen it, its enough to last a life time.

Oh well so much for your jaded movie reviewer. Any comments? I hear Marley and me is a good one to see. Looking forward to it coming out on DVD soon.

    This is the nice tape I use to combat fatigue. Highly recommended. Hope you all enjoy.

Mid-day fatigue gets me down

Have you ever mid day felt so sleepy and groggy all that could be done was to take a nap? You try everything from coffee to stretching and still its likely you will have to waste the day away taking a nap.

One web site gives the following on fatigue
Snip/

Fatigue explained
Fatigue is a symptom, rather than a specific disease or disorder. People who are fatigued feel tired all the time - in both body and mind. Estimates vary, but it is thought that between three and 10 per cent of patients visit their doctors because of fatigue. A person suffering from fatigue has slowed reflexes and reduced function in daily life. Excessive tiredness is also a known risk factor in motor vehicle and workplace accidents. Always see your doctor for diagnosis if you are suffering from chronic tiredness - that is, fatigue persisting over a long period of time.SymptomsFatigue can cause a vast range of other physical, mental and emotional symptoms including:
Chronic tiredness or sleepiness
Headache
Dizziness
Sore or aching muscles
Muscle weakness
Slowed reflexes and responses
Impaired decision making and judgement
Moodiness, such as irritability
Impaired hand to eye coordination
Appetite loss
Reduced immune system function
Blurry vision
Short term memory problems
Poor concentration
Hallucinations
Reduced ability to pay attention to the situation at hand
Low motivation.
/snip
I would love feedback how to combat fatigue. But I wanted to share today what I found. In a tape meditating on Stress reduction when I woke I didn’t have the sleepiness I normally have. I am elated to find this solution.

I will look into posting the tape to my website so you can download it and try it yourself. I will keep you posted

one star ~ Pineapple Express (2008)


Pineapple Express (2008) - IMDb user comments: "Unfortunately the movie fell flat on almost every level. I knew something was amiss when I checked my watch thinking an hour or so had passed, only to find out that the movie had only been running for 35 minutes. Surely the pace will pick up, I thought, but the movie just droned on until the end credits. Nothing overly hilarious or exciting happens in the movie. There are jokes and a few funny bits, but sadly I laughed more during the first 20 minutes of 'Step Brothers' than I did during the entire runtime of 'Pineapple Express'. There are explosions and a car chase, but they offer about as much punch and tension as you might get watching a group of 5 year olds in a cap-gun fight."

Jerry:
Definately not a family movie. cursing, pot smoking, stupid slapstick comedy etc. i give it 1 star out of ten.

ABC Family Cuts Kyle XY


ABC Family Cuts Kyle XY, Renews Greek and Lincoln Heights - Today's News: Our Take TVGuide.com: "Please cover your belly button with your hand and join me in a moment of silence for Kyle XY.
As one in a flurry of scheduling decisions, ABC Family has decided to cut the cord on Kyle XY after this, its recently premiered third season"

This is so sad I enjoy this program. What can be done to change their minds?

4/10 stars goes to Fantastic Four #2 ~rise of the sliver surfer

4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) - IMDb user comments: "The humor is entirely aimed at children (which goes along with its PG rating.) 'Thing' is played for laughs without any degree of intensity"

Totally agree with review, this film was made for children. Perhaps if I were 8 I would enjoy it more.

I download full movies to watch, this one I will delete. Not worth seeing a second time.

1/10 stars goes to “Fred Clause” the movie

Fred Claus (2007) - IMDb user comments

Just endured a video called “Fred Clause” I give it one out of 10 stars only for the excellent music. First off the characters were nearly as ugly as you can imagine. Santa was very ugly. The first 25 minutes contained no comedy I thought it was a drama. A dysfunctional relationship was the theme throughout. How Fred, Santa’s older brother hated Santa etc. I do not recommend renting this movie or showing it to family.

Was bored thru most of it cant believe I actually endured it to the end.

Movies I recommend: “Eagle Eye”


This movie started as a slow drama, nearly quit the movie early, but then changed into a mystery and action / adventure. I was pleasantly surprised at the build up.

Plot: couple manipulated by a rouge super computer in efforts to kill the president.
The action was 101%, the effects were good and the plot was surprising. A good ending, happy ever after. My kind of movie. Recommended for family time.

So cool a movie I cried

Just finished watching Disney’s “Enchanted”. I was really taken with this unusual fairytale. Was a cartoon that became a real life movie. I recommend it for family time.

What is Jerald doing now?

Thanks to Twitter, Face book, My Space, Blogger, and Twitter updating yourself is quite easy.
First off people are interested in daily tasks we do. Twitter-ing is a quick way of telling the world we drink coffee and what television shows we watch. Real time we add daily tasks and keep them up to date. I don’t know about you but I find this very fun to see.
Twitter can be added to Face book and My space so all you need to do is update your “Jerald is…” spot either from the twitter home or Face book and everyone gets to see. Fun as well you can add twitter to your web space to generate content for your visitors.
Blogging is more formal I think. Adding articles to the world opinions and attitude. This is the place I actually write it all down instead of just silly updates. I hope I get a following of readers to my Blog as much as I hope my web space is not just abandoned of readers.
Another thing is all these social networking spaces (especially Face book) are like building a web space all your own that is much easier and fun.

$34 and $72 makes good luck of $106

*Good news today, first I was charged fees for being late on my rent. But after talking to my manager he forgave the fees which totaled $34
*Next I called Qwest up and they said that though I have comcast they were still going to charge me for the month of January since comcast never fully “changed over” my service. I was on the phone for over half an hour and the man said don't worry, going to credit the whole amount.
*Too cool good fortune for me.

What is Evaporated Milk?

(snip/)
What is Evaporated Milk?: "vaporatedEvaporated milkmilkmilk is made by exposing fresh milkmilkmilk to high heat so water essentially evaporates. The end result is a dense, high calorie milkmilkmilk that is usually fortified with vitamins A & D, just like fresh milkmilkmilk. Yet because of the evaporation process, the concentrated milkmilkmilk you get when you buy a can of evaporatedevaporatedevaporated milkmilkmilk has a higher concentration of vitamin content. You can water down the milkmilkmilk if you intend to serve it as regular milkmilkmilk, by adding equal amounts of water to the evaporatedevaporatedevaporated milkmilkmilk. This will lower calorie content and vitamin distribution. You may also find low fat versions of evaporatedevaporatedevaporated milkmilkmilk on the market."
(/end snip)

§ Personally I do not buy milk, it spoils before I get the umption to drink it all. so why not buy evaporated milk? saves on refrigerator space and can be used in cooking. lovely idea..

§ I post this info because this is not on any can, dilute to 50/50 for regular milk? should be number one on the lable. oh well. Jerry

NEWS ON INHERITANCE

Howard Poe's house in Vallejo CA is the one big equity in the trust grandpa set up to disperse for our family inheritance. At this time the house is unsaleable and with the economy doing so badly even the land is worth half what it was 3 years ago.
Once the house sells and half the profit going to Howard's' wifes family. Then there will be money in the trust. Eventually we will see a few thousand for our inheritance.

NEWS ON COUSIN KENNY

Reported via Heidi.
Kenny seems to be doing well, taking his meds correctly for over a year. Lives in a group home in Missouri with 20 roommates. Calls home at least once a month. Yay Kenny.

Instant Blogging

There is a button called "send to" on my google toolbar (recommended) which sends an instant blog to my account... will i use it? we will see

STIR CRAZY

It could be my meds, could be my diet. I don't know what causes this feeling but I don't know if I like it or not.
One theory is that what I am experiencing is normal in most people. But I have been in a deep depression for so long that I cant recognize it as normal. I am impatient with TV movies. Watch about 20 minutes and find my attention drifting – pause the program.
My tummy has butterflies. Totally feeling unsatisfied with any entertainment. Loads more energy than I usually get and its uncomfortable.
That may be a key. I am out of my comfort zone. Used to slow days, no appetite, no need for sleep. Now I am hungry all the time. I even am hungry right after I eat. Totally not good. I cant afford to keep munching. Saturday (2009-1-3)

MOVIES UP YOUR A**

It could be an obsession I have been living without a TV for over 3 years now. But having a DVR player now I can schedule tons of shows to record (which I prefer to watch a recorded show, can skip through commercials etc... more control.) But with the new anxiety I find myself disinterested in the movies I thought I wanted to see.
Lets not forget the new program Vuse. Very fast BitTorrent down loader. Now I have on my computer nearly 30 movies. Huge space waister. But hey I have the space to waist!
Well off to see another movie.
One point here is that why subscribe to premium movie channels when I get so much already?

KYLE XY, KICKS A**

Totally enjoy this series, “Kyle XY”. The cinematography is very nice, can tell the story without words most times. Feels like I am watching animation. The characters are very handsome and the acting seems to be very well played out.
The story seems to be unraveling slowly, I am watching downloaded full episodes I get from
Project – Free TV. I highly recommend this site for links to all your favorite full episodes they are quite up to date.

TORRENT LOADS

I recently discovered “Bit Torrent” which is the nick for a download community / Peer-to-Peer System of sharing files. I downloaded “Prince Caspian”; “X-Men 1,2, and 3” and several adult movies. They play perfectly in “Winamp”. My sister wants me to copy them and send them to her. But I don't see a way until I get my DVD recorder on my computer to work.
The way this works is that you find a Torrent web site, I been using Extra Torrent from the site you search for a movie, game, program or music. The list comes up and you review what others say of the file to determine if its a gamble or a good file. Then you download the torrent. Which is a small text file (2kb). The extension of this small file is .torrent and is recognized by the client program. I use “Frostwire”. The program starts and connects to the P2P network searching all connected computers for this exact file. The downloads are quick it cuts the file into pieces as it downloads and downloads portions of the file from several sources which makes the download fast. Once done just double click the movie and enjoy. (2009-1-1)

PAY-PER-VIEW NOW FREE

As a bonus to “Comcast” customers the on demand movies has a section for free movies. Hundreds of award winning movies available to rent for free. The only trouble I have is in searching for the movies – so many I get dizzy. The other trouble is the descriptions are too short. But why pay for HBO etc when you get free movies and not to mention the Torrent downloads of more recent DVD's. (2009-1-1)
