Ay-yah...
It's been an emotional rollercoaster these last couple of months.
What started as the beginning of a possible relationship with a beautiful, new-jack-swinging, funny-as-hell SSF turned into a friendship with a stressed out, nicotine-laden, lady from the street. This journey came complete with an ex-husband (yeah, that was a shocker,) her trip to Riker's Island to visit the dude in question, three more dates, and the eventual realization that I need to back away. I admit, despite the obvious, I still felt something for her. But when she said something about me telling her ex something, I decided enough was enough...



Yup-yup-yup, I'm well rested, well dressed now.
Still at the job, holding tings down...
Still looking for SSF...

Idlewild
This was the last date with the mailbaglady; that's what I'll call her. We went to the most ghetto theater in Brooklyn, and went for the 12:10AM showing. In my estimation, with as much baggage out as possible, OutKast attempted to do too much with this film. It got a little predictable after awhile, and too reminiscent of Purple Rain. And what did momma say about playing in and around caskets, Apollonia??
Kudos to Terrence Howard, for putting a solid outing.

Jet Li's Fearless
If this truly is Jet Li's last martial arts flick, the dude went out with a bang.
A big bang.
Was that Nathan Jones, the dude that had only one WrestleMania appearance next to the Undertaker, who got saved by Jet Li?
Yes, it indeed was.
The action was indeed better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was a breath of fresh air for me.
The ending was indeed better than Hero, which was soooo important to me.
Yes folks, see this movie for the action and story, well balanced if I do say so myself.
Sure, you can buy the Asian DVD, but like Jackie Chan's New Police Story, some things are still worth waiting for.

The Departed
What!?!?! This movie kicks so much ass, it's not even funny!!
Okay, the screenplay is loaned from Infernal Affairs. But so much is better in this version: Jack Nicholson is almost Joker-like in this film. The only one who could be a better prick than Matt Damon is Christian Bale, who IMO would've been great in that role. The Leo DiCaprio/Mark Wahlberg/Martin Sheen trio was awesome; and oh, the ending was off-the-chain!!
See this movie. If you love Michael Mann, and wonder if the Nicholson/Scorcese pairing was amazing, see the movie.

Now, the undying question: CPA-bound, or grad-school-bound?
Until later, guys...
