Ladder 49

Saw "Ladder 49" last night @ AFI Silver w/a slew of firefighters. This is a very moving picture. A little predictable @ certain points but overall, a movie I would recommend to a friend. I thought that everyone was well cast and churned out star-power performances! It's good to see Travolta doing his roll as a fire chief justice (I'm still trying to get the taste of his performance in "the Punisher" out of my mouth) in this movie. Joaquin Phoenix's character was very blue collar, very likeable as a true firefighter who was out to save as many individuals as he could. His character reminded me of a saying I saw while I was in the military, "Ain't no hero, ma'am, just doing my job."

I'm usually the other guy; deep in slumber, sawing logs (like all snorers, I've never had the distinguished privilege of hearing the sweet, melodic sounds of my nocturnal singing performances) I've got a my drapes closed @ all times, birdsongs are overrated (it's like they're phoning it on or something; a total lack of originality!), the alarm clock goes off. I placed it across the room on purpose; that way I'll have to get out of bed. I throw a shoe @ it. This morning was different. I rolled over and felt the sun caress my face like a lover I lost ages ago, heard the beautiful chirp chirp chirp-ing of a mother bird and her young, jumped out of bed, stretched and f
