"Unbroken" a movie of the life story of Louis Zamperini, Olympian, bombardier shot down in the Pacific, and prisoner of war in Japan

 Laura Hillenbrand wrote Unbroken over the course of 7 years, and 70+ interviews, the biography of an extraordinary U.S. Army Air Force officer, Louie Zamperini, who was shot down over the Pacific, chased by sharks while floating for more than a month on a raft, and imprisoned in a hellish Japanese POW camp. Amazingly, the guy survived it all and lived to 93. Before the war, he was a track start that set a record in the 1936 Olympics

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20440835,00.html

Zamperini was a world-class distance runner by the time he graduated from Torrance High School. His athleticism won him a track scholarship to USC, and at 19 years old, a spot on the 1936 US Olympic team.

movie review, "Chef", Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Robert Downey, Scarlett Johansson

Damn good movie. Funny throughout by demonstrating the social media/Twitter effects and results.

Jon Favreau repeats his earlier genius of making a terrific movie, good story, and great cast gathering.

The movie is a great guy movie, hating your job, boss, and having a life not going according to plan... divorce, child custody on weekends, etc... and then when you hit bottom scraping yourself off the sidewalk and going the distance to get it back on track.

Story overtones of dad -son reconnection, falliong back in love with your ex wife, loyalty to and from your best friend.

 John Leguizamo finally returns to the screen as the connected at the hip sou chef to Jon Favreau's chef with talent but a crummy boss/restaurant partner Dustin Hoffman.

Sofia Vergara is eye candy throughout the movie, the kid is just perfect as a typical 10-11 yr old with parents that aren't living together, Scarlett Johansson is a hostess at Dustin Hoffan's restaurant where the Chef is unappreciated and bossed about, Bobby Cannavale is a line chef and buddy of the chef and sou chef, and gets the "great friends on the job camaraderie" dynamic going, Oliver Platt is the food critic/blogger, and Robert Downey is Sofia's first ex husband that only has a cameo part that is unremarkable. Well, it gets me wanting to see a Robert Downey movie where I can enjoy a couple hours of wit and quips and action...

Anyway, excellently written, road trip of a gourmet food van from Miami to LA, and a celeb cast. Celebrates hard work, camaraderie, and friendship. Go see it, enjoy!

Trivia, Jon did his own cooking and trained with a food van chef.

Disney's new animated movie, Planes: Fire and Rescue

Petrolicious.com makes another terrific video, this one is Bruce Meyer and his 250 Ferrari, the winningest Ferrari ever.

12 cyilnders, only 3 total liters... a 1/4 of a liter per cyclinder. Seems to me that is a cup. Maybe not much torque, but it probably spins pretty quick up to redline

Cheech and Chong knew how to make movie. Just have fun, and write scenes you'll enjoy making

Found on http://specialcar.tumblr.com/page/3

Cheech and Chong were just interviewed on XM radio, and talked a bit about making movies, and said they went with the skit approach they'd been using for their records, and it worked. Very successfully. Though, because they made a movie next to Cheech's house in Venice Beach, without permits, that city doesn't allow filming anymore. So sayeth the Cheech and Chong interview, and I can go with that 

Movie watchers might get a kick out of this, but, it's pretty strange. An homage to 70 major movies in a 10 minute Hyundai sponsored clip
