Who's Your Daddy? is a funny, nearly whitty comedy about a geeky (read loser) adopted high school kid who's biological parents (whom he did not know) died, and he inherited the family business, a porn empire. He becomes and instant multi millionaire and all of a sudden is a popular guy in school, with no problem getting the girl of his dreams to go with him to the high school prom. In the middle the movie was getting a bit predictable and the characters seemed to be going nowhere, but the film recovered in the final 25 or so minutes to an acceptable happy closure.

I'd never heard of this flick before I watched it and it's just another one of those teen movies that seems to work.

Daddy Day Care is one of Eddie Murphy's recent films that didn't rate too well around the film scene but I still managed to find some humour in it. Sure the premise is thin and the characters lack some depth, but there are the occasional funny moments. Steve Zahn's character, the star trek geek, was cast very nicely and his character seems to round off the otherwise rough nearly crude characters by Eddie and Jeff Garlin. If you have a boring night ahead of you, this might keep you awake, or put you to sleep depending on your sense of humour.

Cutaway was two things to me; firstly it was a lot like Point Break except there was no surfing involved, only skydiving, and they weren't robbing banks but were delivering drugs. The second thing was the concept at the root of the characters and the title of the movie. It was dealing with the idea of cutting away all distraction in their lives in order to achieve the impossible. I wouldn't say this is an action film, but is definately an entertaining watch, if you liked Point Break, you'll probably like this, though not quite as good, it's certainly up there.

Quoting music has never been something I really do, partly because I don't listen to much but lately it seemed the right thing to do, so today I'm quoting Linkin Park. I've tried hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter. It seems right to say that now, because after spending nearly two weeks in Esperance of all places I might have found perspective on reality. Being away from what I thought defined me as a person has taught me lots. So much that I'm sitting on the beach writing this (on a PDA in the morning), and anyone that knows me would say I'm not known for outdoor activities, let alone outdoors in the day time. Changes are around the proverbial corner.

I had a great christmas and (as I write this) tomorrow is new years eve. I'm sitting on the beach 700km's from Perth, so I won't be home for new years. But home is an over rated concept to me, home is where you sleep, not where your stuff is. After all, stuff is irrelevant.

Esperance is an interesting place, the sun rises at about 4:40am and it's dark by 7.30pm yet life here is at a relaxed pace. Even on the hottest days the beaches are nearly empty, because there are so many to go around. Given a chance I'd move here in a split second, it's like Busselton except the average age is 30 years younger and the water lacks stingers/jelly fish, and like Bunbury but not inbred and backwards. I could turn into a surfer/beach bum here, anyone could. The sand on the beaches is so white and the water so clear here you wouldn't think it possible.

Before leaving for Esperance I spent 5 minutes to prove I can write a Windows CE .Net application, and believe me anyone can because it's that easy. Menus, toolbars it's all too easy.
