Star Wars

May 10th, 2006 * Comments(1)

Responding to a post on Valerie’s site inspired me to post this�?

Despite critics trashing of the last three Star Wars Films, they rank high on the movie charts�

Taken from Yahoo…

Rank Title Dist. Cumulative
Gross		 Release
Date

2 Star Wars AKA the First one 20th Century Fox $460,998,007 05/25/1977

5 Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace N/A $431,088,301 05/19/1999

7 Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith 20th Century Fox $380,270,577 05/19/2005

18 Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones 20th Century Fox $310,676,740 05/16/2002

19 Return of the Jedi 20th Century Fox $309,306,177 05/25/1983

24 The Empire Strikes Back 20th Century Fox $290,475,067 05/21/1980

And this cumulative gross doesn’t get updated as the price of movies goes up… BUT Despite that, all the Star Wars are in the top 25…

Like them or hate them, Love George Lucas or Hate him, you have to give him RESPECT.. And as any true Director would admit, if it wasn’t for George Lucas and his desire to create/invent CGI, no telling what hollywood would be like now..

Silent Hill

May 08th, 2006 * Comments(0)

I went to the movies this weekend with Ruthie. Silent Hill was the selected movie. I know it is based off the video game series; but I have never played them and don’t know too much about the story line behind them.

On the movie level alone it was a gross horror flick that had a good story line. If you don’t like guts/gore/creepy things then this is definitely not for you. If you can handle that and want a good/sad story then check this out. I would wait for it to go to dollar theaters or DVD. For the average person it�s not worth it to see it on the big screen. Don’t think it adds that much to it to make it worth it.

Other then that; it was a normal weekend. NASCAR, Red Sox, World of Warcraft, Exercising; so on.

It’s only my second week at working a Monday Friday Schedule. It is defiantly going to take some time getting use to. Feels like there is not as much free time as their use to be when I worked shift work.

Another Attempt…

It looks like I am back up and running.
Sorry if anyone tried to get here and got some funky stuff. I use to be hosted under Valerie *Thanks* but decided I wanted to host myself. I am thinking of adding some more sites in the future and this would allow me to do it.

As with the new beginning I decided to just restart this whole site. Some stuff that I had on the other site will come back in time, and some won’t. No telling what it will look like as time goes on.

I hope this time to stay more on top of things and update more often. But only time will tell if it will happen or not.
