Quote of the Week

Following last night's huge Swiss upset over Russia at the U20 World Junior tournament in Saskatchewan, this has got to be the quote of the week:

Journalist: Do you really see a chance to reach the semis in the game against Russia?

Nino Niederreider: It’s possible. It would be wrong not to think like that. Of course they’re a very strong opponent, but maybe we can surprise them.

Well played boys, well played.

Ojibway-Canadian sniper in WW1. Credited with 387 (German) kills. Captured 300 Germans. Someone do a movie on this guy. Canadian history. Enough re-creations of Robin Hood etc. Hollywood needs to do movies on guys like this. William the Conqueror is another one.

Movie Review: Law Abiding Citizen

Law Abiding Citizen (2009, Jamie Foxx, Gerard Butler) is likely to go down as the "Shawshank Redemption" of the decade. Foxx and Butler form a powerhouse duo in this gripping, action-packed drama-thriller. Gerard Butler, playing Clyde Shelton, is a dedicated family man who witnesses the deaths of his wife and daughter at the hands of two burglars in a violent home invasion. Jamie Foxx, playing seasoned Attorney General Nick Rice, angers Shelton (Butler) when he cuts a deal with one of the offenders to have the other one receive the death penalty. The remainder of the movie sees Shelton and Rice square off against one another in a complex "chess game" where checkmate means death. Each man seeks "justice" according to his own set of beliefs and his own set of rules. Many unfortunate pawns end up caught in the middle and it's a battle of wits to the end. A definite must see with enough drama and suspense to satisfy any movie-goer. Law Abiding Citizen is a definite must see!
