Pat Morita, the actor that played Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid died of natural causes today.
When I was kid, The Karate Kid was one of my favorite movies, I did not keep up with the sequels however I will always remember the original movie.
As an avid player, I have to admit that it’s hard to believe a year has gone by since the game was released. If you add all of the hours I have sat at my PC playing the game it would equal days, possibly months – so I consider myself a big fan.
To celebrate the 1 year anniversary the official WoW site has posted a time line of significant events involving the game at the link below, I have also included a link the screen shots I took while playing the beta version of the game.
Well it looks like the “360″ was a bit rushed, my friend Aaron sent me the link below that shows it crashing with what looks like some video problems:

I am still trying to get my hands on a few to sell on Ebay, they are going for $700+ there!
I was able to go see the Walk the line last night and it was, without a doubt one of the best films I have seen this year. For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, it is basically a chronicle about the late musician Johnny Cash. The story starts at his childhood and progresses up to his historical performance at Fulsom prison.
Joaquin Phoenix played a great Cash – from what I understand about the making of the movie he was actually hand picked by the man in black for this part before Cash passed away in 2003. The movie was able to hold my attention for the full 2 hours and 15 minutes, I realize my opinion may be a bit bias due to the fact that I am a huge fan however Andrea and her 14 year old sister Elena also enjoyed the film (neither are big fans) – so I think that speaks for it’s self.
One thing that did surprise me was the average age of the crowd seeing the movie – I generally associate his music with an older audience however my best guess at the average age of the theatre we were is would be about 28. I guess more people than I assumed know what good music is.
I recommend that you go see this movie even if you are not a die hard Cash fan – odds are you will like it.
