These are movies I've seen and didn't think were good. One movie I thought I wasn't very good was The Happening. While I usually like mark Wahlberg movies, I didn't like this movie. Another movie I thought was terrible was Darkness Falls. I saw this movie a long time ago and it was supposed to be good, but was pretty bad. It was not a good horror movie.
Willard was another terrible movie. I saw this a while back and it was pretty terrible. My friend and I both thought it wasn't any good. It was very strange and didn't make much sense. It definitely isn't worth seeing.
I also didn't like Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights. I know some people liked this movie, but I didn't like it. I am an Adam Sandler fan and this is my least favorite Adam Sandler movie. His movie are usually pretty hilarious, but I didn't think this was very funny. It was just too silly. My friend didn't like this movie either.
I saw a movie on tv the other day called Dark City and it was a bad movie. It came out in like the late 90s. It didn't make sense. I had to quit watching it since it was
There are also a couple of tv shows I have never really liked that much.Oe tv show I didn't like was the show Dharma and Greg. It wasn't my favorite tv show. The rereuns of it still come on tv a lot, but I never watch. I never really thought it was very and never thought it was a good tv show. I'm sure some people liked it but it definitely wasn't a favorite of mine.
I also neve really liked the show Frasier very much. I know it was real popular and was on the air for a while, but I never became a fan of it. I didn't think it was ever that funny and didn't think the storylines were ever that great. I think the reruns still come on tv but I don't ever watch it.

more tennis
Another week has gone by. I am very ready for Thanksgiving Break, as I am in need of a break. I am pretty tired and will use the break to see my family and catch up on sleep. It will be cool to have good food as well. It will be nice.
I enjoyed writing about tennis last week, so I decided to write about tennis some more this week. Another one of my favorite players was Goran Ivanisevic. He had a huge serve and was very fun to watch. It was really fun to watch him have a lot of success at the 2001 Wimbledon. He came out of nowhere and was unstoppable. His serve was probably the biggest i've ever seen. While his groundstrokes weren't that consisten, he made up for it with his gigantic serve.
Jim Courier was also fun to watch because he was a fiesty competitor. He is now a commentator and is pretty entertaining sometimes.
I also liked watching Michael Chang. While he didn't have a big serve or special groundstrokes, he was quite a grinder. He would be out there on the court for hours and hours if he needed to be. It was a really entertaining match several years ago at the French Open when he played Roddick and Roddick was just 19. I think it went five sets and it was a great match. His matches were always fun to watch because they would not be dominated by a serve. I'm sure he was frustrating for the other players to play because he was such a grinder.
My favorite tennis tournament is Wimbledon. It was always interesting to me since it is played on grass. The atmosphere at Wimbledon seemed like it was pretty interesting as well. After Wimbledon, my next favorite grand slam tournament was probably the U.S. Open. Its fun to watch and always takes place during August, right as school starts. The French Open is kind of fun to watch as well since it takes place all on clay. I have been to the Kroger St. Jude tournament before in Memphis and it was a lot of fun.

tennis
As I mentioned in earlier blog, I grew up playing lots of tennis. I would play in tournaments all over the south. I met a lot of people through tennis and some are now playing division I college tennis. In this blog, I am going to talk about my favorite pro tennis players of all time.
Andre Agassi was one of my favorite players. Not only was a really good tennis players, but he was also just a good entertainer in general. He had lots of charisma and was funny at times. His matches with Pete Sampras especially when they were #1 and #2 were classic. They were also complete opposites. Agassi was the charismatic mostly baseliner while Sampras was the powerful guy with a huge serve. I remember watching the French Open when Agassi won and captured the Grand Slam. In order to capture the tennis Grand Slam, someone has to win all four of the major tournaments: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open.Agassi won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open when he was younger. The French Open was the last one he needed to win and he came through. The French Open is played on red clay which makes it difficult for a guy who plays hius best on hardcourts like Agassi. Also, since his matches consisted of a lot of baseline rallying, his matches were a lot more fun to watch. A lot of players are not as fun to watch if they rely just on their serves.
Pete Sampras was another one of my favorite players. While he did not have nearly as much charisma as Andre Agassi and was not as fun to watch, he was a dominating force on the tennis court. He was not nearly as good on clay courts than he was on hard courts or grass courts. His serve was so huge that he was incredibly hard to beat on hard or grass courts. He also had a really good net game as he was a serve and vollyer. He made it look so easy. He had a very calm presence. Underneath that demeanor was a very passionate competitor. There were also a lot of times when he would start out slow in his matches and then would come back.
I am also a fan of Roger Federer. He is another one of the greatest of all time. Like Sampras, he makes it look so easy. He is not the flashiest player but is incredibly talented. He rose to success in the game in a very short amount of time. He has a very complete game. Has definitely been the best player of the last several years.
