2014 NBA Slam Dunk Contest

The 6 contestants for the Dunk contest have been announced and it's a pretty good crew.

Terrence Ross, Toronto Raptors (defending champ)

Paul George, Indiana Pacers (All-Star)

Damian Lillard, Portland Trail Blazers (All-Star)

John Wall, Washington Wizards (All-Star)

Ben McLemore, Sacramento Kings (Rookie)

Harrison Barnes, Golden State Warriors (2nd year)

This is as star studded as it's been in awhile. Lillard may end up in the Dunk Contest, 3-point Contest, Skills Thing, Rookie-Sophomore Game, and the actual All-Star game. Look out.

Harrow: The Total Package

Harrow is just eye balling the snow. Great use of his paw to balance his perfectly straight body. Showing his intelligence, agility, and athleticism all in one pose.

Upcoming Comic Book Movies

People like comic books, people like movies, people LOVE comic book movies. You can look forward to all of these coming "soon."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014)
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2, 2014)
X-Men: The Days of Future Past (May 23, 2014)
Guardians of the Galaxy (August 1, 2014)
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (August 22, 2014)
The Avengers 2 (May 1, 2015)
Ant-Man (July 17, 2015)
Batman vs. Superman (May 6, 2016)
X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27, 2016)

They've been making comic book movies consistently for over a decade, and still there are plenty left that I am interested in seeing. The Amazing Spider-Man was better than the Tobey M Spider-Mans and the Avengers was real good. How Ben Affleck (Batman) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) do in Batman vs. Superman will be somethin.

All and all. Can't wait.

Philip Seymour Hoffman: July 23, 1967 - February 2, 2014

One of the greats is dead. I was thinking the other day about what actors have the best "Top 5 Films" on their resume, regardless of role. And you know, this guy has got to be in the mix.

PSH best movies:
