Blogers Choice Awards – Andy Beard – A great idea…

2 Comments

The PayPerPost blog has put up a post about Andy Beard. Andy has set up a group project on his blog. The title of that post is Bloggers Choice Award – Want More Votes? (group project). I already left my comment on the blog and hope to get a few more votes through this group project. I am currently in 6th place for The Photography Blog of the Year and losing ground quickly, it wasn’t that long ago (1 day) that I was in 2nd place. I see the prize slipping and want to do everything that I can to get back in the game. The Photography Blog of the Year is important to me because I love photography and I feel that I take some pretty interesting photos and love sharing them with everyone.

If you would like to see about gaining some exposure for your own blogs please go to Andy’s Blog and you can feel free to leave the link to your blog nomination page in these comments so I can get right to your blog and so can my readers. And remember I am part of the “Do Follow” movement so your links to your blogs will be followed.

And Ted Murphy contacted me directly after posting about the PayPerPost Blog post to include a little more on the post about my post here. (If you followed that line of direction Gold Star for you.) Anyway What that means is that Ted added my Custom Voting Badge to the PayPerPost Post.

Vote for me to be Photography Blog of the Year.

Movie: Reign Over Me

Last night Allison and I went with Autumn and Kenny to see the movie Reign Over Me. Allison had seen the commercial for this movie a while back and she said that she wanted to see it. We missed it in the theaters but were able to see it at the Route One Cinema Pub as it played in second run.

The movie was very good. I think that Don Cheadle can be very funny, I did not know that about him as an actor, Adam Sandler can be a serious actor.

I knew that Adam Sandler can be a good serious actor and I liked that very much about this movie. Even though this movie made us laugh at times it also made us cry at others. Reign Over Me was so well done and should have done better in the movie theaters but is so worth renting.

The movie deals with Cheadle’s character (Alan) who ends up running into his old college roommate Adam Sandler (Charlie). Alan has not seen Charlie for years and after seeing Charlie on the street he attempts to connect with Charlie.

From there we see both characters grow and discover things about each other and themselves. I bond of friendship is made and severed and made again. I don’t want to reveal too much about the movie but it is wonderful and Sandler gives a tremendous performance as Charlie.

The only thing I found unbelievable about the whole movie was the empty streets in New York, just not possible.
