It was a complex comedy with great graphics and non-stop action. I was only amused coming out of the theater after seeing Wall-e.  It was probably worth the outing with the kids, but it won't be a film I will watch over again when it comes out on DVD. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Charlie Montrose) Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/205/1/Chuck-Schumer-Source-of-Indymac-Bank%26%2339%3Bs-Premature-Failure Chuck Schumer Destroys Indymac's Chances for RecoveryBeing a bank in today's challenging economic times is tough, but with friends like Chuck Schumer in the Senate, who needs enemies?Late Friday, July 11th, Indymac Bank failed. The doors were shut and bolted and the Feds sent out press releases about FDIC insurance. Perhaps it would have been inevitable, but the Senator from New York made the bank's failure certain. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Rob Graham) Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/203/1/Pulse-Pen-to-Revolutionize-Your-Notes New Pulse Pen Perfect for NotesA new writing gadget called the Pulse Pen is likely to change the way you take notes. The cigar shaped object allows users to coordinate recorded audio and handwritten notes by using specialized paper. The genius of this product lies in its ability to allow the user to later pull up a digital image of the notes on a computer and point to a place on that image to hear the audio recorded at the time the original note was taken. Users can also use the notepad to hear the audio play back through a speaker built into the pen. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Emerson Chase) Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/202/1/Get-Smart-is-True-to-the-Get-Smart-Series Before seeing Get Smart, the movie, I had a chance to review the "reviews" of the media on Yahoo's movie section. I was disappointed to see the average coming in at a mighty "C+." That usually spells trouble for a comedy -- meaning it falls far short of expectations.As my job is to see as many bad films as possible in a year's time, I got off my couch and drove to the local theater with my kids and wife in tow. I invited my mother-in-law, but she said she was feeling a little below the weather. I feared that my health was also about to suffer as a result of seeing a bad movie, but my expectations of disappointment were -- well disappointed.  Get smart was exactly what one would expect Get Smart to be. It was classic Get Smart. If you love the series, you will love the movie. If you hated the movie, you probably are a professional movie critic. I liked the movie, so I guess that means -- hey, wait a minute . . . rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Charlie Montrose) Mon, 23 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/201/1/Congratulations-Jamie-Lynn-Spears----Not Babies Having Babies -- Statutory Rape Doesn't Apply in Hollywood Splashed across the headlines this week was the announcement that Nickelodeon Teen Star Jamie Lynn Spears, sister of the infamous Britney Spears, delivered a baby at a Mississippi hospital. To every parent's delight, Jamie Lynn is 17 years old and the new father is her very adult 19 year old boyfriend. In most states, this pregnancy started as statutory rape. Of course, stardom saves Jamie Lynn's boy toy from a few good years in jail.  Her parents must be so proud. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Rob Graham) Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/200/1/Kung-Fu-Panda%3A-Come-as-You-Are Beehive Standard Weekly: 4 Out of 5 StarsWatching the commercials for the new animated feature Kung Fu Panda, the first thing that comes to mind is that a Panda doing Kung Fu seems a little awkward. After only a few minutes of the film from Dreamworks, you get the feeling that this was the intent of the writers. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Charlie Montrose) Mon, 16 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/199/1/Same-sex-Agenda-Has-Triumphed%2C-But-So-Has-Immorality WHO IS REALLY TO BLAME?Depending upon your point of view, recent developments in allowing same-sex marriages in California and the marriage of two openly gay Anglican priests in a London cathedral could be either a great tragedy or a liberating statement of human rights. It depends primarily upon one's belief in the Almighty and Traditional Christian Doctrine. But even conservatives must admit that those doing the condemning need to step back and take a long look at themselves. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Rob Graham) Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/198/1/Romney-Wins-With-or-Without-VP-Spot By leaving the GOP nomination in a timely fashion, Mitt Romney is poised to win with or without a spot on the McCain ticket. Though Romney is certainly hoping to join the ticket as John McCain's presidential running mate, if he is not chosen, he is clearly the leading candidate going into the next election cycle, whether that is in four or eight years. rgraham@lawyerswest.net (Rob Graham) Thu, 12 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700 http://beehivestandardweekly.com/articles/197/1/Home-for-Sale----Wickenburg%2C-AZ PERFECT HOUSE FOR AN EXTENDED FAMILY: WICKENBURG, AZ.

Beware, American traveler! You may consider yourself an expert English speaker, having your first coherent words uttered in this internationally-spoken language. You may feel secure in your accent, pronunciation, diction, interpretation, and any other word that fits this list. But I still must issue this warning. When traveling abroad, be forewarned, a biscuit is NOT a biscuit. jenwatt@msn.com (Jenny Potter) Sun, 08 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0700
