Our weather is not kind.  We are suppose to be in the Fall season and they say rain here, maybe but then ends up being close to 100 degrees.  They do say it will be hot too but then luckily we have had some nice breezes that if you stay in the shade it doesn't feel that hot at all.  But seriously, our temperatures show not be exceeding 90 degrees this time of year!  The nights are a big warmer than usual too but still good enough to have the windows open while sleeping and not freeze.  Just would like some rain, a day, 2 days in a row?  Every other week?  Can we set up a schedule please?

Weekly Update:
Went to some strange movie event that was suppose to be a press and premiere event.  One of the producers (hahaha this is funny to say and you will earn soon enough why) was supposed to be there but did not show due to being ill that night.  The director was Nicholas Brooks and his dad ... well his dad is Mel Brooks.  See how that is funny now?!?!  Producers, Mel Brooks ... oh never mind.  But he sent some note and I hope he is better because you always worry about those folks being up their in age.  The movie though, it was called "Sam" and, well ... it opened direct to DVD and TV.  It was a 2 hour comedy which is 30 minutes too long for any comedy.  I can see it being a
TV movie from the 90's.  Everyone in it was sub-par in acting but the lead girl.  She was actually pretty amazing!  That surprised me after seeing the others in the film.  This was Nicholas' first movie but he has worked for years for his father doing editing and such.  Its cute little movie but definitely not theatrical value.

At the movies:
Another new #1 this week as the crown is passed to The Accountant earning a solid 24.7 million in its debut.  The numbers do add up here and some potential award buzz for its main star possibly.  This comes in very close to predictions.  New at #2 is Kevin Hart: What Now? with a fair 12 mil and close to expectations as well.  Drop down to #3 is "The Girl on the Train" earning 11.9 mil, so shy of #2 by inches.  Holding on to the #4 spot is "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" earning another 8.9 mil.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Deepwater Horizon" with an extra 6.4 mil and about to cap out around there.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as Max Steel comes in at #11 with only 2.2 mil, below expectations but sadly not by much.
