Don't forget that Boondock saints 2 will be out March 9th!! Also notice that WalMart has a fairly decent Irish movie collection on sale right now. Titles like Gangs of New York, The Commitments, Secret of Roan Inish, Magical Legend of the Leprechauns, Rob Roy, and others all going for about $7.50 Only in DVD at my local store-I'm hoping that copies of these movies in blu ray will show up before St. Patricks day. Then I can donate my DVD irish collection to the local library.

Unavoidably Detained by the World
"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien
Finally saw The curious case of Benjamin Button. Amazing CGI work to make Brad Pitt appear old! It may have been the intent of the film makers, but the movie really dragged on and Pitt's voice was so monotone. I recommend the short story by our Irish friend, F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I saw Avatar a few days ago. Real nice movie, not like you havent seen the plot before, but great effects, real easy on the eye. Of course it boils down to the old "boy meets girls, boy screws up, then they make up and live happily ever after" Was quite obvious to me that the creators of the film must have played World of warcraft at some point, as both characters, beasts and scenery were extremely similar to the game. Dont make it less viewable tho, I liked it a lot, and will surely watch it again.

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
K. Gibran
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
I went to see "Killer's" the other night. I am not a fan of Ashton Kutchers but at least the popcorn was really good that night! I kept waitin g for Tom Cruise to show up until I realized his movie is "Knight and Day" not "Killers".
