Wednesday's Movie of the Week

Blood Diamond
Directed by: Edward Zwick
Starring:
Leonardo DiCaprio
Djimon Hounsou
Jennifer Connelly

Blood Diamond started off so promising, but dwindled as it moved forward. None of the characters really captured my imagination, and the one that came close (Captain Poison, played by David Harewood) didn't get enough development.

Blood Diamond is certainly worth watching, but it wasn't the memorable movie that I expected it to be. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but when the final credits rolled, I found myself disappointed.

My Overall Rating: 2.5 / 5

SoFla Hoops - State Championship Edition

Well I just got back yesterday from Lakeland. It was a fun weekend, with lots of good games, and one truly GREAT game.

2007 champions:
• Class 6A – Ely (Pompano Beach)
• Class 5A – Lake Howell (Winter Park)
• Class 4A – Monsignor Pace (Miami)
• Class 3A – Florida Air (Melbourne)
• Class 2A – Arlington Country Day (Jacksonville)
• Class 1A – Pine Castle Christian (Orlando)

The Class 6A game between Dr. Phillips (Orlando) and Ely (Pompano Beach) was the best game of the weekend. Final Score 80-77 in Overtime.

After another year heading to Lakeland as a spectator, I think I took three things out of it:
1. I'm tired of watching, I want to coach at the State Championship
2. Florida still has some great basketball
3. The gap between the small 1A schools and the larger 6A schools is narrowing. A good 1A school can beat a good 6A school on any day, and this is great for high school basketball.
