Double Whammy

Well , we were just recovering from the beating we got from Australia and Bryce Lawrance , which incedently , iam absolutly devestated about , anyway ,   along comes the T20 series between SA & the Aussies, and can you believe it !!! We lost that one too .... my interest in SA cricket , I have to admit is weaning rapidly , what with a new captain , who desperatly needs a shave , and a rather chubby looking , rusty Graham Smith ....... and where is Jaques & Abie I ask myself ? If last nights performance is anything to go by for the up coming season , its gonna be along one , if one looks at the schedule its all cricket from now until September 2012 . All I can say is , Good Luck Boys !!


Anyway , moving on , I thought it might be nice to share some of my land and sea scapes with everybody . Comments and or crits are most welcome .  

A couple of nights ago , i sat up and watched a movie on DSTV ,  This true life hard hitting drama shook me a little ,but had me absolutly glued to the box  its called "LIVE ! "

The Plot
Television executive Katy (Eva Mendes) develops what she hopes will become the most watched television show of all time, the ultimate game show called Live! where six contestants play Russian roulette with a revolver  During the show, after the cylinder is randomly turned, the six will fire the gun one by one pointed at their head, without intermediate extra turning of the cylinder, until one is killed. Thus this will happen anyway. At first the idea is to go give all six contestants $1,000,000 each, but, while there are more applicants at the auditions than expected, they are suicidal people. This is not desired, the contestants should want to live; therefore the prize is raised to $5,000,000 each for the surviving contestants, while the family of the killed contestant does not get any prize. Also contestants who do not have to pull the trigger because one is killed before it has been their turn get the prize.
The documentary filmmaker becomes involved in the making of the show by creating biographical segments about the contestants, who are Byron (Rob Brown), a young, struggling writer; Brad (Eric Lively), extreme sports star; Rick (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a man who had to spend much on medical bills for his young son and is now trying to save his family's farm; Jewel (Katie Cassidy), an aspiring actress; Abalone (Monet Mazur), a former super model turned performance artist; and Pablo (Jay Hernandez), a young gay Mexican immigrant determined to help his family .
Jewel is first, Pablo next, both are unharmed. Next is Abalone; before pulling the trigger with the gun pointed at herself she does a performance in which she frightens others by pointing the gun at them; she is also unharmed, but plays falling dead. The fourth is Byron, also unharmed. Brad is fifth and kills himself. Katy is shocked and feels guilty, and goes to the bathroom to throw up. The body is quickly removed off-camera. Rick, who would be sixth wins the prize without having to pull the trigger. After that, during the after-show press gang, a man comes forward with another gun and kills Katy. The network claims the murder is unrelated to the theme of the show. Apart from the murder the show is a success. It has become an annual broadcast.

Anyway , the week end is nigh and the RWC contiues . My closing prediction is , is that Wales will be contesting the Final with New Zealand , the out come of that is left for another blog , so with that my friends i bid you all

ADIOS AMIGOS
