If you want a good laugh, go see this movie! The first few minutes are a bit slow, but of course, it's leading up the to plot line.

I found Steve Carol's Maxwell extremely funny and of course Anne Hataway and The Rock had good lines too. James Caan was the president of United States.

Though the TV series aired before my time, I remember seeing repeats here and there and I think at one point, there was a TV movie. The only difference is this movie is set in modern time with the language to boot. Just be warned, you see Steve Carol's butt near the end.

There's a double agent, who I guessed, despite the muffled voice.

At one point, Steve Carol breaks out the original "gadgets" from the TV show.

Oh the movie had an apropriate song on the Ryan Seacrest Show dedicated to Maxwell Smart. "Four Minutes to Save the World".

Hey TV.comers!

It's that time of year again. I'm heading north, to my parents' country place, so try not to miss me too much, since I'll only be gone a few days at a time.

I hope everyone had a great Canada Day and Fourth of July. I know I enjoyed Canada Day this year, because I once again go to spend it with my cousins who now 14 & 15. It's been seven years since I last saw them, since they in Ontario, about seven hours away (they're finally teenagers!).

I've posted more info under the editors' special circumstances, so that the staff knows why I'm not around as much. It'll only be for two months and then back to normal, just in time for school

Ciao, and enjoy your summer! Don't worry, I'll still be blogging, movies, movies, movies!

Turns out that hot humid weekend turned into four days, lol and ended yesterday with a pretty big storm. Winds of 110 km/ph, which blew in through our windows and brought thunder and lightening. It managed to bring down a few branch in our yard, but nothing major for us except the power went out around 2:30 yesterday afternoon other areas too) and didn't return until sometime after midnight.

I don't know exactly when it returned since I left for work around 10:30 last night. The Champlain Bridge, which is a main route to into Montreal, was closed for about three hours yesterday, during rush hour no less, due to the fact that there were several big trucks turned over. I looked at the paper last night, for mention of the storm, since it was too bad around my neighbourhood. Someone's Mercedes E320 had a huge branch smashed right through the back window of the car. Some people thought it was a Tornado, since it was so extreme. The windy/blowing part lasted maybe fifteen minutes in total, though the rain, thunder and lightening, were of course longer then that.

My mother was at Super C waiting in line to go through the cash, which didn't work even with the emergency generator. She could see outside what looked like to be toilet paper, which when she went outside after the storm, was nowhere to be seen, lol! I said to her maybe it was one of those Johnny on the Spots, since there's always construction going on.

The only good thing to come out of it was no one died or was seriously hurt epsecialy, since Enviroment Canada had apparently issued weather warnings (I didn't know about until today's paper), so everyone was prepared, to a certain degree.

Here's a tip for when the power goes out for a long period of time and it's getting dark out. Get a 12 volt battery (one for a car) and get some small bulbs that are meant for tailights of a car. Get some wires with clips (jumper cables stlye) and stick them to the battery. The other end for the light bulb and you have light. Though ours have switches, like a regular light switch.
