HAPPY MARDI GRAS
THE KREWE OF REX
WHEN MY SISTER LIVED IN NEW ORLEANS I USED TO GO TO MARDI GRAS AND ATTEND THREE TO FOUR PARADES A DAY. THE FLOATS WERE BIGGER THAN LIFE WITH LOTS OF WILD COLORS. I WOULD BRING HOME A WHOLE SHOPPING BAG FULL OF COLORFUL BEADS AND BOXES OF PECAN PRALINES. MY BROTHER IN LAW WOULD MAKE GUMBO IN THE BIGGEST POTS I EVER SEEN. THEN WE WOULD DRINK HURRICANES AND EAT PO BOY SANDWICHES. NOW THAT I'M JUST A LITTLE OLDER THE CROWDS WOULD BE A LITTLE MUCH FOR ME BUT I STILL HAVE MY MASK AND BEADS AS A REMEMBERANCE.

BROOKLYN'S FINEST
I RECENTLY WENT TO A SCREENING OF BROOKLYN'S FINEST. IT WAS REFRESHING TO SEE WESLEY SNIPES. DON CHEADLE WAS VERY CONVINCING AS AN UNDERCOVER COP. ETHAN HAWKE PLAYS A BAD COP IN A VERY MENACING WAY. THIS FILM IS VERY VIOLENT, LOTS OF SEXUAL CONTENT BUT IT WILL BE THE ACTING OF RICHARD GERE THAT SAVES THIS MOVIE. HE REALLY DID WELL AS A RETIRING COP. I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT ALL AWAY. BUT IF YOU LIKE GRITTY COP FILMS THIS ONE MAY BE WORTHWHILE. BROOKLYN'S FINEST HITS THEATERS ON MARCH 5, 2010.
