I would like to start off by saying, I’m not a movie reviewer..nor have I ever been.  Now that we cleared it up, let’s talk about the Taking Of Pelham 1,2,3.  The movie stars a few big names in, Denzel Washington and John Travolta.  Denzel was Denzel-consistent performance in what we’ve come to expect from him.  Travolta, on the other hand, really stepped it up for this one.  There are times when you think, ‘this dude is insane!’  As well as times where you feel attached to his character.  The story line doesn’t offer very many surprises for the audience and ends kinda cheesy.  I don’t want to spoil it for ya, but it is a predictable flick, with about 10 percent of it bein actual action scenes.  Will this do well in the box office this weekend?  Yup.  Should you wait to watch it on blu-ray? Yup.  Enjoy the movie and feel free to add a comment with your thoughts.

Tuesday January 13, 2009 - This is your Raptor Rant!

Well you’ve scratched another week off your NBA calendar and yet you didn’t see any progress from the Toronto Raptors, or did you? After two close losses to the reigning champ Boston Celtics, many fans feel the Raps have made steps in the right direction. I’m not sure I agree with this. I have heard terms like this over the last few days, ‘they gave it their all’, ‘what a great effort’, ‘they worked really hard and almost had it’. I won’t lie all of those are factual statements, but I’m not digging them. A great effort?? Ok, so you want me to sit here as a fan and say, my team did what they are capable of doing and still aren’t winning – but you want me to be happy about it? I will admit, I have seen a lot of growth in players like Andrea Bargnani, Joey Graham and Roko Ukic – congrats to those dudes, keep it up. However, I didn’t learn this one in math class but this equation isn’t doing it for me, youth + effort = not winning. Read the rest of this entry »

I was lucky enough to go away over the holidays but definitely had all of the devobrown.ca family on my mind and took time out to record this msg for yall!

Stay tuned for the blooper reel - Happy New Year!!

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone! The start of 2009 hasn’t been terrible for the Toronto Raptors but, it could be much better.

I have to be honest, over the holidays I was away and didn’t really get a chance to see most of the final games of 08, just highlights-if you could call them that. The start of 09 was pretty sweet. An absolute crushing of the Houston Rockets was something the Raps needed, help them with some confidence. Two days later ‘Superman’ (Dwight Howard) and the Orlando Magic were in town to face the Raptors. The Raps were shorthanded as Jermaine O’Neal and Jose Calderon are both out with injuries, I’ll speak more on that in a minute. Despite a super performance by Howard, the Raptors came out on top 108-102 and got a clutch performance from young Roko Ukic. The following night the Raptors were in Milwaukee to take on a surging Bucks squad. You would think after defeating to 20-plus win teams, they could take out the 16-19 Bucks. However, this is the NBA and things don’t always work out the way they should. After squandering an 11 point lead at the end of the 1st half, the Raptors and Bucks went back and forth through the 2nd. It was the play of Michael Redd and Charlie V that eventually overcame the mediocre Raptors defense and Milwaukee went on a 13-0 run to end the game and win by 10, handing the Raps their first loss of 2009.

Tuesday December 9th, 2008 - This is your Raptor Rant!

It was exactly 6 days ago that Sam Mitchell was fired and since then, I’ve heard more and more talk about how the Raptors aren’t really that good of a team. According to many NBA experts, analysts and Charles Barkley, the Raptors ‘overachieved’ one season and set the expectations too high for its followers. After winning the Atlantic Division, the Raps have been pretty much a .500 team. Which according to many, is what they are - an OK team. They are neither really good, nor really bad. Well, it’s time for them to prove these people wrong…but can they? Read the rest of this entry »
