Movies I've watched recently:

  • Air Guitar Nation (2006) 7/10

    Documentary about the rise of Air Guitar in the States and it's popularity worldwide. The first few minutes it seems to be really bizarre to be taken so seriously but by the end it begins to seem much more normal.

  • Another Year (2010) 5/10

    Far too slow with little plot at all. I understand that it was going for character development more so than plot but it seemed to just drop every character that it started a story with, the insomniac at the beginning, Ken, the drunkard and ultimately Mary who seemed to become the lead character by the end. No closure and way too little happening.

  • Higher Ground (2011) 8/10

    On Kevin's recommendation, Heidi and I watched this movie and we were glued to the screen throughout. It's the story of a woman's acceptance and struggle with her faith. I have no idea who I could recommend this to as it can be a bit crude for a Christian movie and a bit boring for those who like more' entertaining' movies. Nevertheless, her openness is powerful, "I gave my heart outright. I'm telling you today, I'm still waiting for Him to make Himself at home. I feel like I live in an empty place."

    YVR > SJC - kind of a zany concept but it works relatively well, not a great boxing movie but not too bad.

    This movie came well recommended to me and it was a good, strange and profanity laced comedy. The main character was profound, confusing and yet remarkably consistent and believable. Some good lines in there and a nice change of pace from an action movie loaded with action to this one which seems to try to avoid it at every turn.

Hamilton gets into the playoffs

10 11 2011


I compiled some data on Hamilton’s lack of success in the last decade. Here are some things that stand out to me

  • Hamilton has not won a playoff game since 2001 against Montreal (10 years ago!)
  • In the last 9 seasons, Hamilton has been in 3 playoff games which they’ve all lost
  • besides Winnipeg (1990), Hamilton has gone the longest without winning the Cup (1999)
  • Montreal is a Grey Cup beast having made 8 appearances in the last 11 years
  • Montreal has not beaten Hamilton in the playoffs since 1996
