Mongol (2007) depicts the life of Temudjin, the nomadic boy and adolescent that would one become one of the world’s most notorious leaders of conquest, Genghis Khan. Cinematography is excellent. Great story. Seemingly very accurate portrayal of what life was like on the Mongolian Steppe some 700-800 years ago. I found moderate similarity in the ways the Mongolians of the Steppe were portrayed and the culture of N.Am. plains native americans. The film was directed by two Russians and was nominated for the oscar for best foreign film in 2007. I recommend renting it and getting ready for an epic portrayal of this interesting slice of humanity.
The Canes finished their season 18-11 overall yet 2 games under .500 in the perennially tough ACC Conference. They are one of a few ACC teams on the ‘bubble’ of the NCAA Men’s hoops tourney, the others being VaTech and Boston College, and Maryland.
A win this coming Thursday (3/12/09) afternoon will help provide the flash needed to gain the attention of the selection committee and possibly mean another trip to the NCAA tournament for coach Frank Heath and his Canes.
I had heard of the McSurf’N'Turf for several years – although I was unable to confirm its existence until very recently. There was a Jack Black promo for School of Rock or some other movie where he went through a drive-thru and created a McSurf’N'Turf.
The McGangBang is utterly ridiculous and has gained a cult following across The Internets as individuals attempt to order it by name from various McD’s across the U.S.
I normally take the time to write up individual reviews for the movies I particularly enjoy. That leaves out the many films I watch each week that don’t necessarily meet the threshold of reviewability. To counter this trend, I’m going to perform a bulk movie review today categorizing films by my rating. Most of my movie watching happens via my PC using Netflix’s awesome streaming service which is part of any 2+ movie a month plan. I totally recommend this – especially if you don’t dole out your cash for premium cable/sat movie channels. I use a software add-on for Windows Media Center that allows me to browse Netflix’s full on-demand movie catalogue via remote which makes going to bed early and booting up the computer very fun indeed.
On to the list… I’ve placed the films I’ve watched over the past few months into groups with similar ratings.
Researchers employed techniques used in the hunt for endangered species and have published their findings on MIT’s International Review Website. The report even goes as far as zeroing in on three most probable compounds that would offer this particular human the ‘best’ shelter.
You know how psyched you are when getting some Burger King fries and there just happens to be an onion ring in there??
Well today I had that devinely inspired experience, only with a Mississippi Biscuit.
Up and on my way to the office early today, I stopped in at the Gas Station / Restaurant / Food-Mart that is the Old Town Station Deli and Chevron. This may seem a little odd that one would seek breakfast at a Chevron, but here in Mississippi, some of the state’s best dining experiences can be found alongside castrol and squeegies – but I digress…
So what I thought was going to be a standard sausage biscuit turned into a gastronomical masterpiece thanks to my good buddy and Indian Deity Ganesh – who saw fit to place a small, yet ever-so-important piece of bacon atop the sausage patty.
Thank you Universe! For I have received your message and am ready for my day!
