Movie Review: “Attack the Block” ; Thank You UK!

The other day I was hanging with my brother @__Talley__ and he told me I had to watch this movie. Of course I love watching films so I told him to go ahead and play it. The movie is called  “Attack the Block”. 

At first I was skeptical about watching it, because I saw that it was set in “The Ends” of South London. But I decided to give it a shot. And I must say…..this…..movie….was EPIC! Here’s a quick little summary:

In South London, there is a crew of teenagers who wreck havok on the town. Led by Moses (ironic right?), the crew embarks on a wild sci-fi mission to save “The Block”. 

The movie itself has a high production value and won many awards in the UK. The plot is amazing and the journey and growth of Moses is remarkable. I can’t give too much away because I refuse to ruin this movie for you! =)

Here’s a link to the movie….. http://www.movie25.com/movies/attack-the-block-2011.html use with caution. The movie is about and hour and 20 minutes filled of action, suspense and an epic ending. Check it out, and you’ll know why I love it so much! 

Tyrann Mathieu Gets A Taste of the “Honey”

The “Honey Badger”, a nickname former LSU Cornerback and Return Specialist Tyrann Mathieu used to gladly hone, recently told NFL Network that he didn’t want to be called that name anymore. 

“I don’t have anything against the ‘Honey Badger, It’s just that ‘Honey Badger’ happened at such a dark time in my life. If the little kids out there want to call me the Honey Badger, they can do that,” said Mathieu. 

This “dark time” in Mathieu’s life revolves around him being kicked off the LSU football team in 2012 for marijuana related charges. 

Well now the Arizona Cardinals have signed Mathieu, a 3rd round draft pick, to a 4 year contract. The contract is for 3 million dollars, with a $662, 500.00 signing bonus, to be spread across the four year contract. 

 

But wait….there is a special clause in his contract that will cancel out all the money Mathieu is guaranteed to make: He cannot fail a drug test. 

Originally the Cardinals were going to drug test Mathieu once a week. However, Mathieu took an extra step to ensure he gets his money. He joined the NFL Drug Program, which tests athletes up to TEN times a month. 

I honestly am proud of Mathieu at his willingness to work on his little “marijuana” issue. I wish @Mathieu_Era the best with the Cardinals. Just know that Week 8, the Falcons are coming and you SHOULD be scared of Julio Jones…..that is all!
