Just the good ole boys

Occasionally I'll do a movie review here and there, so I thought I'd provide a quick review of the newly released, Dukes of Hazzard.

I wasn't expecting much from this movie. I had expected it to be another crappy remake of an old TV show...but I was in for a surpise. Maybe it's because I had low expectations going in, but I really enjoyed this movie. Not only that, but it was hilarious. What makes this movie? The car chase scenes...bar none. It makes me want to sell the MG and Land Rover and go out and buy a Charger right away (or a Yugo).

In other word...go see this movie.

Oh yes...and a friend of mine (who goes by the name of Joe) saw an early sneak peak of The Great Raid. I was afraid that they would water down the realities of Japanese brutality, but according to Joe, that wasn't the case. He reports that the movie really does show the brutality of the Japanese and that, overall, the movie was very well done. I'll be seeing that this weekend (hopefully).

March of the Penguins was a good movie, too. =]
