Movie Time

There's no reason to stay at home fearing the cold, wind and rain anymore with short-sleeve weather here ( hopefully to stay ). Rip off your shirt, drag your woman along or get your buddy and slam a beer and go see 300. I haven't seen it yet, of course, but I will. But first we need to do a little work to impress our Taiwanese friends and/or significant other. Here is some of the Chinese I think and hope you will probably need to show off you linguistic skills.

Movie review of movie that I've actually seen - The new Casino Royale : Great! Loved it! Didn't think it was possible, but Larry Linville really nailed the Brit accent.

  1. Thank you for that, J-hole. I was trying to explain the Battle of Thermopylae to my wife, and I kept having to say 'early Iranians'.

  2. I'll bet enrolment at World Gym will increase after this movie is released. Women who like muscle men are going love this movie.
