A She: "Typical Shore Italians... they both have bodies bangin'! Hot as hell!"
A He: "Seriously, when I bring back girls to here... she might melt in her pants!"
A He: "Don't bring home any wangsters, girls!"
A She: "Don't bring home any Sluts!!"
Later: Okay, so I've watched the first season (easy to do on Netflix Instant Play in less than a week) and I think "Snookers" is the cutest thing I've ever seen and... I've even watched "The Situation's" workout video. OMG. It's Reality TV Syndrome...I've fallen in love with ALL the characters!
Being a Certified Trainer myself, I must say, that I really enjoyed "Mike: The Situation's" workout video. It's IE. Stuff I'm already doin' but he's his same old 'I'm the best-o-you all' self: "I look good. Keep hatin'. Let's go!" Entertaining.
Feels like three hours (instead of only 1:46) because of the dubbing... but it's well worth it. When was the last time a martial arts film brought you to tears?
Ironically, most of my training has been in the Japanese martial arts where we were also taught that it was to be used only for self defense, not oppression.
I borrowed this review from myr1545778 off Netflix (where it is available as an Instant Play). I hope he/she doesn't mind. They said it much better than I:
"A perfect blend of humor, tragedy, and asskicking, this is one of the
most enjoyable films in the genre that I've ever seen. The story is
great, the cast is excellent, and the cinematography is gorgeous."
"Sammo
Hung has choreographed some of the best action in years, during every
fight I was slack-jawed with amazement. The moves are amazing and shot
with a wonderful camera style that enhances the action instead of
obfuscating it with too many cuts or confusing angles."
"Donnie Yen makes
delivering a beatdown look as effortless as swatting a fly. The story is
beautiful and gave me a perspective I hadn't seen before into the
Japanese occupation of China. It's not often that one gets the
opportunity to use the word "masterpiece" when talking about a martial
arts film, but this one has definitely earned the label.

Description: Boy meets girl... karate instructor! It would basicly be Karate Kid in reverse except for its sensitive approach to Hate Crimes. It's obvious that a woman was involved in the making.
Definitely worth the watch. Just wish there were more fight scenes. Diana was amazing. Surprised I know so little about her, even though the Inosanto name is well-known in the martial arts world.
One of the things I loved about this movie (but also found a little creepy) was its period feel. I lived through the 80's and 90's and it seems as if it was actually filmed then... not 2008. Check it out.
The first thing I have to say about this flick is... OOHHH!!
But... I still Looooovvvvee Jim Caviezel. He's as sexy as ever, even as the...
A family goes camping on a remote Australian coastline. Doesn't sound fun to begin with and... it certainly wasn't fun to end with. I was expecting to see a few crocs but was actually surprised by the animal choices.
It's weird how I hung in there as long as I did (till the bitter end), as if I was straining to see a traffic accident or train wreck on the drive by. I knew exactly what was coming and yet I strained.
SHE just wasn't concerned enough about his glassy-eyed ravings. HE ended up being the good guy. That's really not giving it away. I promise.
Hmm. A really odd movie. I have to say that I liked it, though. Not exactly sure why. Maybe it was his loyalty to the dog... or a few laughable "nature strikes back" scenes. I don't know.
If you like being on the edge of your seat, annoyed by the knowing of what's coming next but still being thrilled by it. Well then... you'll like this movie.
And J.C., mmm. Even after all this, he's still on my Top 10 list. I wouldn't hesitate a bit. He's a DILF... a Dad I'd I'd love to...
Looks interesting. Let us know if you have some experience with it. I'm thinking it should cost about $29.99 rather than over a hundred... but, you know, if it works... it would actually save a fortune in surgical costs, right?
Recommended... if you like that sort of thing. Grade A for cinematography. Very little gore really. Suspenseful. Romantic even. Unusual combination of historic and horror. The acting was superb.
Hang in there for the closing credits and tune by Grant Campbell... the creepiest part of all.
There's no denying these are stressful times, especially if you're in the job hunt. Because of the recession there are so many applicants that companies can be more choosy than ever.
Take my experience right now, for instance. One particular company (I won't mention any names) has had me do three tests (one online), three interviews (one over the phone), a background check, credit check, finger printing, and drug test.
Plus, they've had me turn in pay stubs from former jobs to prove my employment (as well as talking with former supervisors) and turn in a Schedule C Tax Form as proof of self-employment (as well as verifying that with my accountant!).
It's scary and stressful and anxiety provoking because even after all that... this gauntlet of PROOF of WORTHINESS (which, of course, has taken several weeks) the position is still unconfirmed. In other words, after all this, I still might not get it.
In my article "I Love Dick" we discussed the benefits of self-hypnosis for handling depression. This morning I listened to Dick Sutphen's audio "Relax" to help me handle this anxiety... And it reminded me of something.
We can't relax if we're in the middle of TRYING, WANTING, NEEDING. Remember when we were kids? That's what meditation is all about: Getting back to that place of setting aside the worrying. We didn't worry as children. We played and life just happened.
Dali said, "Resignation is the work of art." There is only so much we can DO and then we need to just relax and let go; we need to resign ourselves to whatever the universe, God, fate (whatever you choose to call it) has lined up for us.
Relax and ALLOW.
I wasn't able to find that exact Dick Sutphen audio for you, today. But if you'd like to check out his work (and his gorgeous wife Tara's) you can go to his website: http://www.tstonramp.com/~soaringspirit/
Just to get you started here's a relaxation at the beach video I found on YouTube. There are many more mini self-hypnos there.
