Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

The Jury is still out on this one.

I got to borrow this movie from Christine, and so that was one of the main reasons I watched it, Free film.

This is an MTV film with no one noteworthy, and is highly oft-kilter. It is basically about the weird lives of these high school teens that live in a dismal poor town in Idaho. The main character is every stereotypical dork rolled into

Chicago Comic-Fest

Patrick the Wolfboy & Footman 15

Boy we had a good time last weekend! David, the Mighty Rothes & I took a day trip to Chicago for a little comic con fun. Well – Sarah brought a bag of things so she could have “quite reading fun” while Jeff, David & I had comic book fun – she’s such a good sport.

I’m going to limit the amount of time I regale you with tales of our adventures because I’m excited about a couple new things I read that I got …

Closer(2004)

I still don’t get what this movie was completely about.

I spent some time last night trying to look it up online. This is set in London England and stars Jude Law, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, and Clive Owen, and is about love, intimacy, and the lies that always seem to swirl in the midst of the other two.

In having some printed materials made up for the BNI conference over a week ago, our printer made us aware of this event to the Caesers Casino just West of Louisville in southern Indiana.

Seabiscuit (2003)

Beautifully shot in such a memorable era, Seabiscuit is a story about a discarded horse that brings together three lives that have been beaten down by the depression, and rises

Dinner after the BNI Conference

Esystems spent about two weeks preparing in full for the Business Networking International (BNI) Conference here in Indianapolis. It was a solid turnout, and the speakers were great. Five in total, the speakers topics ranged from spotting personality types to introverts vs. extroverts and the advantages in networking for an introvert.

It was an awakening for me. I had worked a 16.5 hour day prior to the event, and got five hours of sleep. So I

Jarhead (2005)

Who’s in it

Jamie Foxx, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Lucas Black, Peter Sarsgaard

What was good

This is a solid movie. I think it would resonate more with those who have experienced war, because I think it may really portray what war is like, a lot of waiting on politics. Some of the imagery towards the end is just amazing when the oil wells are lit up with that as a backdrop for the soldiers at night,
