Typcially the summer is ripe with great flicks for me to tear apart. Inplausible sequels, the most grown-worthy of romantic comedies. Action movies that forget to have dialogue, and of course, the token super hero movie and sword and sandal epic.

However, this year I must honestly say I've been pleasantly surprised by the hit releases. Iron Man had it's typicalities, but it also had a due amount of charm, it was a touch more grown-up, and Robert Downey Jr. was great. Indiana Jones delivered what it promised, lots of adventure, a thrill ride, and dashing wit from the dashiest and wittiest of reluctant scholarly heroes, even the trippy "extra-dimensional" ending wasn't without its goofy appeal. Sex and the City rose above the TV show and delivered and well groomed package of a film, enjoyable by more than the over-thirties female quadrant. Narnia was battleriffic and still cute enough to smile at with some good acting chops lifting up the film in supporting roles. Even Speed Racer was a fast bit of chaotic nonsense, enjoyable for its style and haphazard way of letting lose on all the typical demands of the "summer movie."

I'm sure plenty of other critics have nasty things to say about all these features, how the films don't deliver on expectations. The loss of substance over style. The usual laundry list of cynical and expected complaints. But, I've thoroughly enjoyed my weekends watching movies this summer. I say bring on the popcorn, bring on much more, because is tasting quite buttery at the moment, and that's the way I like it.

On the flip side, buttery popcorn isn't HEALTHY, and I have devoted a blippet of this website to good health, so here we go...

I found a great post on washboard abs. It's extreme!

I also discovered a website selling omega 3 supplements and the master formula. Wonderful nutritional supplements for anyone who's interested.
