Inception Review: Beware Berenger

Man, writing a Blog, about the movie Inception, and listening to the new Arcade Fire album.  Now that I have every middle-twenties, middle-class white boy stereo-type covered, let’s get to the review shall we?   I really enjoyed the heck outta Inception.  It was smart, cool, and very, very entertaining.  It had almost everything that you need in a summer movie: 1.) Great lead actor (check).  Oh Leo.  SWOOOOOON. 2.) A very attractive in a mousey-sort of way lead actress (check-plus). Glad to see Ellen Page no longer has to support herself by doing Cisco commercials. 3.) Cool supporting cast…

Who’s this guy Brett Favre?

Shame on you ESPN.  This is just poor journalism.  For what I would call a good majority of the day yesterday, ESPN covered a story saying that Brett Favre sent texts to fellow teammates announcing his retirement. They covered this story for at least 6 hours.  Every interview they had with anyone relevant to the sport “had not confirmed this story” but yet they ran this same story all day, breaking down new Vikings QB scenarios, and recapping Brett Favre’s entire career. So the next day, I turn on my Sportscenter, and ESPN is running a story that these…

Domonic Brown, Doc Halladay, and Roy Oswalt walk into a bar…

A few weeks ago, the Phillies seemed hopeless.  The team has lost 11 of 18 since July 1st.  They dropped 7 games back in the division, and their offensive rank in the NL had dropped from 2nd to 12th.  Although the Phillies line-up was often reduced due to injuries, on July 22nd, Charlie Manuel said goodbye to hitting coach Milt Thompson in an attempt to shake up the ball club.  Greg Gross, the former hitting coach, replaced him, and it was met with immediate success. In fact, as of now, success is a poor word.  It’s been perfection.  The…

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a Cake Boy…

At midnight tonight, the agreement that EVERYONE wants to see happen, will probably not happen.  Manny Pacquiao’s camp set a deadline for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to agree to a fight that would probably be the biggest event in boxing, and they have until 12AM this evening.   If anyone is unfamiliar, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the undefeated Welterweight/Lightweight/Featherweight Champion of the WBO, and had one of the most viewed PPV fights of all time (Mayweather/De La Hoya.)  Manny Pacquiao is an amazing boxer (and now politician) holding Lightweight and Featherweight titles as well, with a (51-3-2) record, 38 knockouts.  He’s…

US Soccer Signs Another Foreign Star

So, it seems as though the Major League Soccer has become the grazing pasture when former international stars are put out to stud, so to speak.  Earlier today, Thierry Henry signed a contract with MLS’s New York Red Bulls after being cut from Barcelona for scoring a meager 4 goals last year.  Henry has an incredibly impressive resume with Barcelona and his former club team Arsenal.  Aside from winning two Premier League Championships in 04′ and 07′, he also was awarded 6 different trophies in 2009 including the Champions League.  With the international French team, he won one World…

A Weekend in Recap

Wow, it’s been a crazy weekend.  Lebronathon is coming to a close now that he has officially announced his new team and pissed everyone but Miamians off.  The World Cup Finals were played yesterday, Spain outdiving the Netherlands, and the MLB All-Star break has officially started.   I’m not going to talk about Lebron, mostly due to the fact that everyone else already has, and I think my partner summed it up about as well as one could.  I will say this though:  Lebron, get your ass a speech coach man.  Your were mumbling and stumbling all over the place. …
