Mafia Wars: Bangkok

Well, I have not written as much about mafia Wars as I would have liked, but here is some news. I tried out the beta version of the Bangkok expansion and it's not bad. A little incomplete for now but good.

I am currently close to finishing the Cuba expansion about 5 weeks after finishing New York. I will move on to Bangkok and Moscow next week.

Weekend Movies

My wife and I had the chance this past weekend to watch both Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Star Trek. While the FF movie was good, it was not as good as the first one. Star Trek was a great once again to watch. I am disappointed in the lack of deleted scenes on the 1-disc DVD version. I am looking forward to seeing the Blu-Ray version one day...

Star Wars In Concert

On November 25th, my wife and I went to see Star Wars In Concert at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. It was a BLAST!!! The ambiance and enthusiasm of the crowd was great and the music was fantastic from the 20th Century Fox Fanfare to the Imperial March. A surprise was that Anthony Daniels is the narrator of the show and received NUMEROUS applause from the fans. If you can still catch the show, DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed.

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

This is a classic! I have ALWAYS loved the Muppets in all their forms (Sesame Street, Pre and Post Jim Henson Muppets stuff) but this one rocks!
