Bounty Hunter


Twenty minutes into this movie, the guy behind us said, "this movie is horrible." I thought that was a little harsh and that I'd give it another twenty minutes to form my own opinion.
Jennifer dear, you should have stopped 15 yrs. ago after Friends. All I see in you is Rachel, but more like a worn out exhausted Rachel trying so hard to capture the audience. Gerard has been in a lot of flicks the past couple years. His acting was decent in Law Abiding Citizen, but that's about it. I see about 100 movies a year. For this disater I paid $28 for 2 tickets and refrained from the usual popcorn and soda. Perhaps the snacks would have made it a tad better. If you desire to see this, wait a month for $1 redbox (that's even a stretch), or wait a year to rent it free at the library.

One Hour

Whether it's running to get milk, mail a package, grab a cup of joe, or simply walk to your mailbox (small exaggeration), it takes one hour in Northern VA.
Let's compare other things that take an hour.

1) Flying from DC to Indy, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rhode Island, Manchester, etc.
2) Jog 6 miles.
3) Eat a 4 course meal and listen to a speaker.
4) Sit through a wedding ceremony.
5) Golf Several Holes (not sure how many, I don't golf).
6) Call a friend and catch up on the last ten years.

My Point: I'd rather be sitting at home or doing any of the above than sitting in traffic for milk.
The fact: The small errands still must get done and the traffic is something we clearly can't control.
My point again: Forget the fact of the matter, I DO NOT like traffic.

Real

At age 93 and 91 and married nearly 70 years, this is real.
He still has 3 nicknames for her. He keeps her on her toes. He's always been a hard worker to provide for his family.
She moves swiflty and doesn't miss a beat in a day. She cooks his favorite meal every friday since the day they met.
They watch sports and wheel of fortune with the volume turned down. She'll always hold him above a high standard with love and respect.
Together they make EVERYONE smile.
This is Real.
