The movie tells the story of two assistant managers in a corporate owned grocery chain both competing for the manager’s job at a new store.

So I was flipping channels the other night and came across this show on the Discovery Channel called the Alaska Experiment, not exactly your RV Tour of Alaska kinda show. Its probably more like Survivor without all the sand, bugs…and money. That’s right the three groups ( I’m pretty sure its three, maybe four) groups are volunteering to be left in the Alaska wilderness as an experiment for three months, for nothing!

Now don’t get me wrong, Alaska is a beautiful place and there is certainly lots to see there. In fact an RV Tour of Alaska would probably be one of the things pretty high up on my bucket list, right up there with an Alaska Cruise. But being dropped off in the Read the rest of this entry »

You know we all like LOST for many different reasons, some of us like the mythology of the show, some like the drama, and frankly, some like Kate ( Evangeline Lilly ) all hot and sweaty. I personally am a huge fan of the mythology (Evangeline is a close second though!). I watched X- Files and Twin Peaks for the same reasons.

Well the season four finale of LOST this past Thursday night was HUGE for me! Many many questions were answered and some new ones were left hanging. It was the PERFECT season ending for LOST, and I can’t wait for season five to get underway. And one of the biggest questions for the coming seasons of LOST is, who the heck is Jeremy Bentham Read the rest of this entry »

In a town where divorce is expected and being even a mediocre divorce lawyer will have you set for life, Will Smith and his wife of 10 years Jada Pinkett Smith are bucking the trend. In a talk show interview Monday, Will Smith said he and his wife have been able to stay together an almost unheard of 10 years in Hollywood because they agreed that divorce was not an option for them.

In the interview, Will Smith said many couples divorce in L.A. because it is an easy option…much easier than working out the problems between them it seems. “A huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options,” said Smith. Read the rest of this entry »

After many months of anxious anticipation, Angelina Jolie has given birth to her twins at the Miraval Estate villa in the french hamlet of Correns. This brings the Brangelina brood up to six children. Entertainment Tonight broke the news that Angelina Jolie has given birth to the twins and no other details were immediately available.

people representing the Brad and Angelina train wreck did not respond to phone calls or emails about the birth. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie moved into the Miraval estate villa in the French hamlet of Correns in the Provence region so says the may and the inn’s owner. THe mayor further says he hopes the will live normally there.

Of course giving birth is just the first steps for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the also have to be parents to these children at least for the next 18 to 24 years. Childhood years are critical years for children to learn. A young person’s mind’s comprehension is at its highest level during childhood and as new parents Brad and Angelina will need to take advantage of these formative years to instill values for their children that will last a lifetime.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie must do more than give the kids a nice home at the Miraval Estate villa in Correns, they must teach the children positive habits they will know all the beautiful things life has in sotre for them. the first things that kids bring into their psyche are the ones that stay with them and mold their growing years until they are adults. Childhood is not a time for absentee parenting by Brad or Angelina.

A big difference exists between children that learn only thru self discover and the kids that learn with self discovery with guidance. It is that parental guidance through childhood that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will need to give their kids as they grow up in the Miraval Estate villa in Correns France.

Many parents go through hardships as kids themsleves and this leaves it hard for them to know how to raise their own children. Many others overcame the obstacles of difficult childhood and rose to become successful financially and in life, as did Angelina Jolie. Despite being in a financially better position to guide their children to a better life they prefer their children undergo the same difficulties in life so they can learn from them just like they did. When in fact if Angelina Jolie does this for her children she will be robbing them of the self discovery opportunites that helped her succeed.

So congrats to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and all the attention that is now focused on the Miraal Estate in Correns France. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it.
