Yesterday, Carley and I went to the movies and watched The Heat, with Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. The movie was superbly acted and directed. It was very funny and if you can stand some adult language, you should check it out. Even after being out for a week, the show was a sellout on a Saturday afternoon when there was a heavy downpour and local flooding.
Sandra Bullock plays FBI agent Ashburn, who reluctantly teams with a local Boston detective to take down a drug gang. The tightly wound Ashburn has a hard time dealing with the rather loosely wound Detective Mullins. (McCarthy)
Like the proverbs say, if you rub two stones together, both will be changed. So it is with these two opposites, who are improved as individuals as they work together and grind on each others' nerves.
This movie was hilarious. The place was packed and folks were laughing all through the show. It was worth the fact that we had to sit down front and crane our necks back. Carley opines that it is worthy of a five star rating and I would have to concur. I hope to God that I never have to see Sandra Bullock operate on anyone again. Ha, ha.
Let me talk about an IOS game for a moment. I got a freebie the other night. Not like that. It is called Athyr Above. I think you should try it. It reminds me just a bit of Avatar, if you have played that game. Here's the rather tasty recipe.
It seems that in a distant future, our planet has been almost destroyed. Now, there are two realms. One is a night-time realm of eternal darkness and the other has eternal daytime. No one can travel to both realms except for one guy called Lex. You play as this guy. The Princess of this joint asks you to travel from realm to realm and destroy those forces which keep the realms separate and inaccessible to each other. You agree for several reasons. A. She pays you a sack of Dinero. B. She is pretty fine looking. C. You have a hangover.
As you go through your quest, you have the ability to change from a night personage to a day personage at any shrine. You even look different when you go back and forth and you have different powers. Machinery which you encounter will sit dead until exposed to daylight which adds an interesting dynamic. You fight monsters that appear through purple space warps Some of them like to roll boulders on you, which is rude, but part and parcel to the monster personality.
Unfortunately, I am stuck on level seven because I can't jump across a crevasse. My night personage jumps far better than the day guy, but that is to no avail. It seems I'll have to watch a You-Tube video on the walkthrough. Sigh!
One final note about this game. There are no in-apps. Very cool. Thanks to the developers for this cool game.
So it is that I bid you a good evening, from the author's green retreat.
I'm CE Wills.
