My 100 movies (as of 2006 - Pre Netflix) 50 - 41

50. Field of Dreams James Earl Jones is amazing in this baseball movie which at the heart is a father-son story. It's got lots of fantasy, faith and a fantastic ending. Good score. Terence Mann: I'm going to beat you with a crowbar until you leave. Ray Kinsella: You can't do that. Terence Mann: No, there are no rules here. Ray Kinsella: You're a pacifist! Terence Mann: Shit. 49. Golden Eye First Brosnan Bond movie as well as the best. Classic villians and a decent story, great settings and classic bond guns/gadgets all combine here. Alec Trevelyan: Good luck with the floor James. I've set the timers for six minutes, the same six minutes you gave me. It was the least I could do for a "friend". Natalya Simonova: What does he mean? James Bond: We've got three minutes. 48. Austin Powers Trilogy of Mike Myers. He plays both the lead villian and our 70's hero. Spoofs of James Bond and other 'things'. All 3 are pretty good, though I don't like...

RE-drafting the Lions - 2010

Best for last-har. 2nd pick overall even though we lost to the Rams who wound up picking first. Didn't matter much as we drafted the so called greatest talent in years. First round Lions Pick: 2: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska Boy did he make an impact. Pro-Bowl. Ndamukong Suh, 10 sacks, an interception, a touchdown. Completely revamped the Lions D-Line and improved the defense. Can't argue at the moment that the Lions hit. Lions Pick: 31: Javhid Best, RB, Cal The Lions traded up four picks to grab someone Schwartz was in love with. Scored 5 of his 6 touchdowns in the first 2 games. Kept hearing turf toe and never looked right all year. Over a thousand total yards though. No concussion, and did look real quick in spots. My Pick: At the time, I would have picked either: 17. (49) 49ers - Mays, Taylor FS 11. (43) Ravens - Kindle, Sergio DE But shows what I know, Kindle fell down the stairs and didn't play a snap, Mays lost his job when he couldn't cover anyone. Charles Brown ...

RE-drafting the Lions - 2009

2009 - Detroit Lions Round 1 1. (1) Matthew Stafford QB Georgia 1. (20) Brandon Pettigrew TE Oklahoma State My picks - 15 (15) Texans - Cushing, Brian OLB 23 (23) Ravens - Oher, Michael OT Also Could of had - 4 (4) Seahawks - Curry, Aaron OLB 5 (5) Jets - Sanchez, Mark QB 9 (9) Packers - Raji, B.J. DT 13 (13) Redskins - Orakpo, Brian DE 14 (14) Saints - Jenkins, Malcolm CB 17 (17) Buccaneers - Freeman, Josh QB 19 (19) Eagles - Maclin, Jeremy WR 22 (22) Vikings - Harvin, Percy WR 26 (26) Packers - Matthews, Clay OLB Not picking Stafford wouldn't change the current state of the Lions too much. He hasn't been on the field much. The question is, how much better would the Lions be with the 09 defensive player of the year and the top offensive lineman in the draft? Pettigrew has been solid and got targets but had injury problems last year and his ability to catch and run after the catch are suspect. Round 2 2. (33) Louis Delmas DB Western Michigan My pick - Same Also Could of had - ...

Top 30 Movies I Want To See In 2011

30. The Smurfs Stars: Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens, George Lopez, Katy Perry, Anton Yelchin, Alan Cumming Plot: When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours Why it is where it is: Lots of good voice actors, Pee Wee Herman, NPH. The Smurfs weren't a bad cartoon, I'm way more interested in this than any Chipmunks movie, plus Gargamel is the Simpsons Hank Azaria who might be worth seeing. 29. Warrior Stars: Nick Nolte, Tom Hardy Plot: The youngest son (Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nolte) returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament against his brother. Why it is where it is: I like fighting movies like this with a good story premise(Price of Glory for example). Tom Hardy was good in Inception, it's MMA which I'm not as sold on as say a boxing movie. 28. Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom Stars: Jean-Claude V...

RE-drafting the Lions - 2008

The draft that finally did it. Got Matt Millen fired, got the Lions a win-less season. 9 picks, not much hit well. What more could you ask... 2008 - Detroit Lions Lions pick: 1. (17) Gosder Cherilus T Boston College My pick: 15. (15) Kansas City Chiefs - Albert, Branden OG Also could of had: 18. (18) Baltimore Ravens - Flacco, Joe QB 20. (20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Talib, Aqib CB 23. (23) Pittsburgh Steelers - Mendenhall, Rashard RB 24. (24) Tennessee Titans - Johnson, Chris RB 25. (25) Dallas Cowboys - Jenkins, Mike CB 30. (30) New York Jets - Keller, Dustin TE 4. (35) Kansas City Chiefs - Flowers, Brandon CB 6. (37) Atlanta Falcons - Lofton, Curtis LB 11. (42) Denver Broncos - Royal, Eddie WR 13. (44) Chicago Bears - Forte, Matt RB The lions traded down 2 spots to the Chiefs, who in turn took the player I wanted the lions to pick. Though the Lions did attempt addressing the offensive line, doesn't look like Cherilus lived up to a number one pick. Lions pick: 2. (45) Jordon Dizo...
