"Before his first step, he's off again..."

Tiger Woods is incredible. There is no other way to describe the man. Today he won the U.S. Open, his 14th major golf title. It took pain; a bad knee. It took beating a good man; Rocco Mediate. It took guts; a birdie putt Sunday on 18, just to tie the tournament. It took time; 4 rounds of 18 holes, 1 playoff round of 18 holes and one sudden death playoff hole. Incredible.

Speaking of Incredible, today I watched the Incredible Hulk. The movie wasn't incredible, it was good though, with an intriguing ending. I like Ed Norton and the action sequences were good, not my favourite type of movie but still fun to watch. Liv Tyler is cute and fit her role perfectly. Willaim Hurt is his usual intimidating on screen force. Tim Roth is formidable as Hulk's adversary. Below is a link to information about the movie, don't want to spoil anything. I never read comics as a kid but have enjoyed Iron Man and now The Incredible Hulk, perhaps I should have.

Yesterday I watched Semi-Pro and was disappointed in it. It is definitely the least funny movie Will Ferrell I have seen. His character Jackie Moon seemed a lot like the Ice Skating character he played in Blades Of Glory, which was equally less funny than Ferrell classics. Again there is a link to information about the movie below.

Not much of a blog, I couldn't tell you the temperature, other than it is probably close to 20, very windy and there are rain clouds threatening.
