Over the weekend we watched U571. Great movie, I thoroughly enjoyed this one both on the big screen and on TV. It is a good story, fairly decent acting and they even had time to work in a brother. It is based on true stories about allied submarine crews that would disguise themselves as Germans and board German subs to steal the encoders and enigma machines. How steely is that? The great thing about this movie is that it is an action flick with a basic story and they do maximize the tension by milking every moment. The film did well, over $100 mill.

Denzel is busting out with his directorial debut. I hope it works out for him. We'll rent the movie to support him, but our Xtmas movie big screen quota is already filled: Nemesis.

A Benedictine friend of mine notes that with the current crises, it seems that the next wave of Bishops may come from the ranks of the Religious. I'm not sure what the significance of that is, perhaps more spirituality. Dude, I'm getting a dell and . . . Quickbooks (I lost my disk so I have to repurchase).

The Bills are still technically in the play off hunt. But the Rapture pretty much would have to occur for them to get in. There is the question of if Greg Williams the Bills coach should stay or go. He has definitely imp[roved the team, but he has done some dumb coaching game time things and he was supposed to be this vaunted defensive mind who would bring the Buddy Ryan blitzing in your face defense to Buffalo, but 168 running yards per game later . . . There's no doubt that Williams was the one to turn things around, but the question is can he take the Bills to the next level? I think he can, he started this let him finish it. What the Bills need is an impact d-line person and to stay healthy and they will be a force next season. This year is shot.
