Friday Night at the Movies

I had the opportunity to see "Bend it like Beckman," "Guess Who," & "Stealth."
Of the three movies I loved Bend it like Beckman!
I played a lot of sports through the years of grade school, Jr. High, High school and college and this movie pin points one case of traditional roles and culture that pressures some young girls to not play or at least break out of the mold. Any young mother should see this with her daughter and then discuss it afterward.
Guess Who is a present day remake of the Classic film "Guess who's coming to Dinner." Though this was not trying to over power the elegance and creativity of the first, it IS a humorous spin on the concept of bringing home, for the first time, somebody you love that does not fit the picture of whom your parents might expect your partner to look like. Bernie Mac is just about the only reason to see this film, although Ashton Kutcher does hold his own most of the time. Silly entertainment with a good ending.
Stealth...well...I tried to ignore all the errors of Navy Uniform dress-collar devices are always improperly placed, but the female LT in Navy Dress Whites in the bar with open collar and no tie is so wrong! These Hollywood types are setting standards on how a woman has to look and act when we can be much more than that and not have to hint that we might shoe some Titty! What made me lose total enjoyment of this film-you have to REALLY push the BELIEVE BUTTON a lot with it-like what the heck was that Navy Blimp refueling station? Anyway-once in North Korea or the DMZ to be exact and they show not only people running on it, a dog and then a freaking jet make a Harrier landing and take off on it! This area is over one mile DEEP with LAND MINES and is the exact reason the United States cannot back the mandates to disapprove and halt the use of land mines! Once this movie went that far it couldn't come back! And the Captain blowing his head off because he followed orders of Politicians! Why wasn't that explained in more detail or left out! Steer clear of this nonsense!
