Blog, Blog, Blog - where to begin.

Okay, I guess I should begin with The Return of the King. The final installment of Peter Jackson's interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic trilogy. In a word - EXCELLENT! The final piece of the LOTR puzzle does not disappoint. Despite some minor whining from purists about a few things left out - this trilogy is the most accurate film adaptation I have seen of a well-known literary work. Okay, Pride and Prejudice was another one that did a great job of sticking to the book, but Peter Jackson can be proud of taking this universally known and loved series of books and faithfully recreating it. The battle scenes were so awesome, I thought I was going to wet myself. (Okay, well it could be the large drink and 3 1/2 hour movie that made me feel that way.)



It is another HUGE GLARING example of the power of the Baby Boomers. I alluded to it in my post about The Hulk, and it just keeps coming. Baby Boomers are controlling the market as they have throughout their years and now is the time to turn Baby Boomer classics into films. Things we loved as we were growing up are turning into their grown-up incarnations. That is why I am so excited about the opportunity that USANA has given me. Every seven seconds another Boomer turns 50 years old and the two most important things on their minds are their health and their wealth. USANA solves both of those issues and that is why it has exploded in the past few years. When the rest of the stock market was plummetting - USANA (Nasdaq USNA) was voted the #3 stock by CBS Marketwatch and has grown from around $5 a share to over $60 before the split.

Anyway, back to the film. My all-time favorite period piece prior to this was Braveheart, this one ranks right there with it - among the best. This not one to be missed. Do yourself a favor though and watch the other two first so you can feel the grand scale of the project. You won't mind all the weepiness at the end if you have the 12 hour investment in the characters. ENJOY!


RATING 10 out of 10

Oh and I have to apologize for the bad rap I gave Tim Allen in The Santa Clause. I watched The Santa Clause 2 and it was actually a cute little movie. I guess after eight years, he made a good Santa movie afterall.
