The Hammer

jenny and i took marites to see The Hammer saturday night and we were not disappointed! the theater was prettty full and consisted of about 80% couples on dates and 20% dudes. there were laugh out loud moments throughout the movie and a smattering of applause at the end.

there's good character development, very funny dialogue, great boxing footage, and real life tie-ins galore! i listen to adam carolla's podcasts regularly and heard a lot of his own details of the film before seeing it but a lot of media in general have given it high praise. ebert & roeper gave it 2 thumbs up and made it one of their "3 to see".

i found other reviews calling it a "warm-hearted romantic comedy" which is really accurate... it just has a drizzle of guy humor and some really good boxing scenes. laughs a'plenty!!

T-Mobile Sucks

from 1999 to 2007 i was, on the whole, a happy pac bell/cingular customer. due to patchy coverage at our townhouse -only for jennycakes- we changed our cells over to T-Mobile. i'm here to tell you this company SUUUUUUCKS out loud. please avoid them.

i'm here to tell you, their website, their phone support, their email support, and their policies are ALL worse than cingular (now at&t)'s. in retrospect, we even paid less to get out of our cingular contract than what T-Mobile charges ($150/line versus $200/line).

go with at&t, verizon, sprint, someone, anyone but T-Mobile.
