December Of The Month Awards!

DVD of the Month: Cinderella Man [Collector's Edition]
- I still don't know why this movie didn't do well in the theatres. I'm a big fan of the story [Read the book, Cinderella Man by Jeremy Schaap for the full details of Braddock and Baer. It's a really great sports book and written perfectly] and the movie does a really great job of portraying the life of the man. Does it glorify Braddock? Yeah. Does it deamonize Baer? I guess... But the movie's great. Almost - not quite, but almost as great as Rocky. But the Collector's Edition comes packed with the full, real reel footage of the fight, which is a nice throw in to a nice package.

TV Show of the Month: The Boondocks
- I've been a big fan of the comic strip since '00 or '01 - can't exactly remember when I first saw it. Always was funny and not just humerous, but actually laugh-out-loud funny. The show's just as great... sometimes misses a little, but there's always moments of greatness in each episode [The Trial of R. Kelly's probably the best one].

Book of the Month: The Art of War & On War
- Kind of cheating, but the book DOES have BOTH books in it. About the fifth time I've read over The Art of War - it really should be required reading in high school since it's so applicable to many facets of life. On War's not bad, either, if a bit dry... But still a great study on tactics.

E-Wrestling Fed of the Month: The Empire Wrestling Council
- Hey, it's back! And it's new! So of course the first two shows had wow moments and surprises, but also the storylines from the start are getting woven together nicely so that there's no one really left out [well, at least those who are working to get involved, of course].

Song I'm currently listening to right now, as I write: "Tear Stained Letter" by Johnny Cash
