Out of the Frying Pan - Movie Review

The Hobbit - 4.5 Stars

So I have now seen this movie twice. Actually never thought I would do that, but I am glad I did.

PeterJackson has done it again, folks. The Hobbit was an extremely enjoyable movie. I had been a very long while since I read the book so I barely remember any of it. It was well done for a prequel. I felt it ran strong from the beginning to the end.

There was a lot more comedy than LOTR and just about as much action. I does make you see the dwarves in a different light.

Martin Freeman (The Office and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) was great as Bilbo. Funny as always and never disappointing. It was also, of course, great to see Ian McKellan, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis.

I is definitely a must see in the theaters if you love Lord of the Rings.

Looking forward to the next movie.

Until then.......

Final Week of FFL Regular Season

Well we have reached the final week of the season. Overall my season has not gone to well. 5 leagues and only 3 of those teams at or slightly above .500. I have decided that after this season I will drop down to 2 maybe 3. Not saying which ones I'm dropping yet.

So for this last week, the Syndicate (6-6) will be taking the the 2nd place team. This is in league I value the most (BYOV). I'm still taking a big risk and continuing to start Kaepernick over Eli. Still shaky about this one, but reguardless of the outcome I will make the playoffs.

As for my other leagues, the league at work I will take on the team who is at the top of the league, but whom I destroyed week ago. How will I do in the second week? It all depends on Rodgers' performance. With Jennings back, it could be big. Oh and I'll make the playoffs because they voted to have everyone in the playoffs. WHAT? SMH! And this is a paid league first paid one I did. Regardless how I do this season, this league will be on the bubble. So I guess i did tell one league I may be leaving. Oh well. Going to do some heaving thinking this off season.

My other leagues are no es bueno. So I'm done with them. Alright. Off to the games.

Go BYOV!
