I sleepwalk...

...that's why I wear my shoes to sleep." Half Blood Prince is one of the best in the series, and personally for me, every scene with Luna Lovegood is gold :). It's refreshing to see some background characters get more depth in the story...such as Malfoy and Ginny. In this film. it surprisingly makes sense to pair up Ginny with Harry (sorry Cho Chang, I just don't see it). Bonnie Wright has certainly given a great performance in giving Ginny that inner strength and depth (and bewitching ;) ).

All Alan Rickman, good or evil, needs is his voice and delivery (and frown) to win you over. I still miss Richard Harris and wish this was his last film...not to take anything away from Michael Gambon, who has played the role very well.

There's a Meat Market Down the Street

Playful is how I'd describe Regina Spektor's music. The Calculation and Song of the 80's are in heavy rotation my drive from and to work. I like her playful beat in The Calculation and who could not smile at the sound of synthesizers in Song of the 80's? ok ok....I guess if you grew up in the 80's....otherwise...doesn't it get a giggle out of you? :)

Sanchez No Hitter!!!

Talk about redemption! Finally, ESPN is spending lots of air time for the Giants.

Good job, Johnny!

Vote for Pedro!...er.....Pablo!

Whoppp!.....a grand slam on the way and with Duane Kuiper making the push...vote for Pedro for the all-star game! He's just fun to watch and a real bolt of lightning to the offense. And with a lovable call sign of Panda, doesn't that just put a smile on your face?

Public Enemies

I like how Michael Mann presented the film in waves of intensity as opposed to the typical build-up approach. You can't miss how beautiful Marion is....as if this era was where she was meant to be.... The sound of Tommy guns showering bullets makes this a must-have for anyone with a good sound system...and of you want more bass, the Browning Automatic Rifles will please you on that end. I do wish there was more done to substantiate the bond between Dillinger and Frechette. As expected, Johnny brings a very unique dimension to his character.

The Big Sadowski

Holy Cow! I'm really impressed with how the farm system has produced a formidable roster of players. Ryan Sadowski feels like a potential starter (and may push out Jonathan Sanchez). Also great to see Eli Whiteside still in the roster (an added plus that he's caught Sadowski before in Triple-A) and they make a good team. I look forward to seeing more of this tandem.
