Three Kings(1999)

3kings.jpg Movie that surprisingly holds up well. Not a fan of Clooney when he’s the “star”, but in ensemble casts he really shines. Most know of my giant man crush on Mark Wahlberg. There’s yet to be a movie of his I don’t like. And Ice Cube can be good…just not recently. Luckily this isn’t recently, and Clooney’s not the main man so in the end this movie gets a silver star, 3 out of 5 stars, a thumb’s up, a this movie is so totally worth a rental. It’s set during the first Gulf War. The three aforementioned actors are determined to steal a huge cache of stolen Kuwaiti gold reputed to be hidden somewhere near their desert base, the three men find a map in a captured Iraqi’s ass, an “ass map” if you will, they believe will take them to the treasure. Of course it doesn’t go according to the plan and lives are changed. Has some comedy, but overall more of an action drama. Really liked the scene with Mark Wahlberg and the Iraqi interrogator. So check it out if you hadn’t already.

Let’s get it started…

Hello peoples. In an effort to get my life on track and moving forward I’ve decided to start this blog. I’ve had some recent problems as it relates to my past. You can read about it in the “about me” section to the right. My problems are from chapter 5 on. So anyway, I’ve started this to keep me motivated. Plan to update it at least once a day whether I do anything or not. I can’t really get started how I’d like until around November cuz unfortunately I must depend on others to achieve my goals. I’m an incomplete quadriplegic, have been for 15 years. For 14 of those years I’ve done absolutely nothing. I just kinda quit living life. The plan is to become as independent as possible and start my life, albeit 14 years late. I’m not getting any younger and who knows when the end will come. So that is the purpose of this here blog. Hope to keep you at least mildly entertained and don’t be afraid to comment. Questions are welcome as well. I’m an open book.
