Merry Christmas

It's several days late, but Merry Christmas.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Here is a link to my Wordpress site for my thoughts on the latest Star Wars film,  Good stuff.   The Force Awakens

Out and About-The Mall

I went for a walk around the local mall earlier, I like looking at the Christmas decorations.  The tree made up of Poinsettias is imaginative.

And here is a more traditional tree.

Christmas stuff

I went to a Christmas play at Anaheim Baptist Fellowship this weekend to start off the Christmas season.  The play, The Gift of Hope, had a wonderful message.


And the lobby of Bethany is decorated for Christmas.

Necessary Roughness.

I watched Necessary Roughness not long ago, and like it, although it's not a great film.  I enjoy Scott Bakula even if I don't care for the particular material or storyline; he always does a good job.  The idea of an older guy getting a second chance to play football years after high school has potential; I do like movies where characters get second chances. The interaction between Coach Gennero (Hector Elizondo) and Coach Rig (Robert Loggia) is funny, and Sinbad does a good job in his role as Andre Krimm. The scenes with the convict football team led by Dick Butkus are amusing.  Overall it is an okay film, but not extremely memorable.
