One For You ,19 For Me

I find it very fitting that today the jury in the George Ryan case busted him on all of the 22 counts. It wasn't a surprise that a appeal is already in the works. The only reason he abolished the death penalty was to avoid the stroll himself. The big trouble will begin when the people who obtained their liscense under the table go back for a renewal.

Fred wanted his paperwork done in the morning. We were almost in the clear until he opened his mouth and started to play the what-is-your-ethnic-background with the clerk. I was grateful that she didn't get offended by what he said. By the time I was at the stores there was barely any Easter stuff left. I guess I missed the action because in the aftermath two purple plates were damaged. Filene's Bridal sale had nothing on the messes I saw at one store.

A trip to the cinema was to see Scary Movie 4. I gave a 2.5 stars out of 4. Part of the reason was because the first theater had the film break which caused a roadtrip to a second location. I had no idea that they would rip Tom Cruise a new one. South Park's drama is nothing compared to what went on in that film. It would have brought a bigger laugh would been to have the Oprah character just yell at him for jumping on the furniture. It's wonderful that Chloris Leachman is finding work that brings her back to the screen. She was great in Spanglish.

Here's a psa to the parents that brought a baby, yes I said baby barely 4 months old, and the grade schoolers: GET A SITTER. Here's a thought. If it's Easter why not choose to reflect on the day with family. To the dudes who thought texting during the film could not be seen. Hey guess what? The glare was obvious to several people when you're waving it in the air like you don't care clueless.

I did love the preview of the new Wayans'family film. Their team did a great job and everyone was laughing hard.Is it really necessary to remake The Poseidon? Part of the reason that it worked so well the first time was it involved film legends such as Shelley Winters. Funny how no one with her body type was cast for the film this time around. The Omen remade again? Gee will the ending be any different? Are the ideas really that bad or did the new screenwriters cheat their way through college? Remarkable.

I loved that Ravinia has their schedule out already for the summer. I'm practically salivating at the thought of Elvis Costello, Lyle Lovett, Etta James, Patti LaBelle, BoDeans, Itzhak Pearlman, and a cast of thousands coming to town. I'm giddy with anticipation.
