I Suck At Lakeview Terrace

In our household, Friday nights are family fun nights... except that our family, which consists of Me, Karen and our baby daughter (Briana), have not done anything as a family (outside of giving Briana a bath) for quite a while on Friday nights. And seeing as how Briana is a little over two months old, the short-lived moniker of "family fun nights" may be just that... short-lived.

This past Friday, Karen and I (and Briana) hung out with my favorite sister-in-law (Janine) and her family after ordering takeout from Not Your Average Joe's located in Norwell. (Yes, we do seem to eat there quite a lot.) As a side note, thank you again to my friends (Marc and Kelley) who gave us a coupon to Not Your Average Joe's. The coupon came in very handy and most likely we will make use of the other remaining two coupons.

Anyway, we had stopped over Janine's which was nice because we have not done that in some time. Janine's BFF (Gretchen) was also there for the festivities because it turns out that Gretchen and my favorite brother-in-law (PJ) had just gotten inked. Naturally curious, we wanted to see the new tattoos. The tattoos were nice looking. I could never get a tattoo. My body is a temple. Just kidding. (That statement is even funnier if you could actually see how out of shape I am.)

Needless to say, it was a good time hanging out with Janine, PJ and Gretchen. Following Janine and PJ's, we headed home whereby I ended up watching another movie. That movie: Lakeview Terrace.

(The video below is a preview for Lakeview Terrace.)


Now, I suck at Lakeview Terrace. But since I was not exactly tired, I figured I'd just watch the movie. Needless to say, I found the movie rather blah. It was not terrible... and it was not great either.

For anyone curious, the movie is about an interracial couple that moves into the neighborhood, only to have a issues with their neighbor (Samuel L. Jackson) who happens to be an LAPD officer. Apparently, the stress from the job, along with losing a wife and having to raise two kids alone, turns the neighbor a little crazy.

Like I said, the movie was blah, but it helped put me to sleep at the end of the night.
