Summer Is Here - Ronin Movie Review

I guess it is now summer! For my international readers, "summer" begins on a holiday weekend and ends on a holiday weekend - Memorial Day and Labor Day respectably. So on with the show. School zones go away, but then the streets are packed with kids who think the thing to do is just drive around - clogging up traffic. This is why I HATE going to to the famous "south beach" area so much. There are too many ass clowns who want to be seen driving around in piece of shit Buicks with fancy sound systems installed in them. They turn up the music so you can not hear how crappy the engine sounds. And they drive around and around and around. It got so bad the cops enforce "anti cruising" laws. But the laws are only enforced on kids with loud crappy cars.

Anyhow - by now only the year round residents are here. All the snow birds are long gone by now. It is hot as hell, humid as a cigar box pulled out of a lake and left in the full sun - closed - for an hour, and a hurricane or tropical storm can form at any time. The State is dry as a tender box and could catch on fire (again) at any time. So only us suckers who are too poor to afford summer homes somewhere decent are stuck here. My summer home would be in the Colorado Rockies I think. That would be nice. Or a year round home in the Keys. The lower Florida Keys are pretty nice. A place on the water would make South Florida a livable place in the summer.

MOVIE REVIEW - Ronin. Emma suggested this movie. It is an action thriller with extra intrigue and some killer car chases. The car chase scenes are shot in France, with the narrow streets and stuff. Totally awesome. And what about the intrigue? Well there are spies. Terrorists (or freedom fighters, depending on who you ask). A mystery case everyone wants. Several plot twists. And so on. All in all a very good action flick. It is not just car chases and shootouts in Europe - there is a complex story line there too. But enough action to keep you watching it.
