Slumdog Millionaire
Finally got to see SM tonight, borrowed a friend’s DVD but haven’t had the chance/time to see it til now (I’ve now had the DVD for three weeks, I know, but I’ve been really busy).
I liked SM. The storyline was good and was done in a good sequence. Was it really worthy of best picture compared to the other films nominated in the category? Couldn’t really answer that...

Golf
Planned on golfling this morning with Hoppy and Seth, 7am at Mosholu, but got a text message from Hoppy asking for a rain check. Which was ok, I went right back to sleep. But I think I need to hit the driving range first before I hit the golf course.

I Love You, Man
The movie was cute, but not great. The cast was ok, with Paul Rudd and Jason Segel leading the way. The storyline was good, but I can’t imagine a guy getting engaged and being “socially stunted,” i.e. there were a couple scenes where I had to literally put my hand over my face because of the things Rudd’s character says. Unreal!! Yes, the movie is worth paying to see...

Football never goes away

I love that there is so much football talk in early March, even if it is about free agency and the NFL Draft. Some big name players have already moved and have definitely effected the NFL landscape. Here are the biggest moves after the first weekend of free agency:
