Tag, You're It

I was tagged by Virginia

If I've tagged you...post up 6 things about yourself and tag 6 others...

Um...

1) I go to the comic shop EVERY Wednesday to pick up new books. I probably will for a looooong time. Sorry, ladies

2) The last CD I bought was Jill Scott's Beautifully Human. I refuse to comment on how all those other songs got on my iPod.

3) My favorite movie of all-time is Say Anything...

4) The only person I consider a "hero" to me is Kevin Smith. I don't really think of him as a hero but any time the questions comes up, he's the only person I can think of.

5) If I won more than five million dollars, I would pay off all my bills, give some friends some money and then disappear for five years. I'd keep in touch with one person to make sure no one died or anything in my absence.

6) I think more about having kids than getting married.

I'm tagging Bill, Tia, Tara, Kevin, Nikki and Amal.

Movie of the Week Pt. 2: Inside Man


Probably one of the best Spike Lee joints in awhile (I reckon since 25th Hour.)

But, damnit Spike, can you do ONE movie with out the trademark rolling track shot?

I know it's your thing but at this point, you are just doing it just to do it. The one in this film was kinda pointless.

Anyway, back to the movie...it's always great to see a movie where every actor is someone who's work you appreciate so to see Jodie Foster, Denzel Washington and Clive Owen face off is a dream.

As far as the plot goes, it a combination of Dog Day Afternoon, The Usual Suspects and...Quick Change.

And of course, even with a heist film, Spike had to drop some social commentary.
