More Swamp

In my previous Blog, I was telling you about my trip through the Okefenokee Swamp. My friend and I had arrived at the half way point of the trip. We were tired, frustrated and not in a good mood. The bugs, heat and humidity were constant. The darkness was rapidly approaching. We got our things out of the canoe and put them in the tent. We talked about the days events. At least for me, this was not a fun adventure. The waterways through which we had passed to get to this point were about 15 to 30 feet wide and weren't a problem to navigate, but there was always the question "did we take the right waterway?" Up this point, apparently we had. As I looked in the direction we were to go the next day, I could see trees and limbs that had fallen across the waterway. We were at a camping site, but was it the right camping site. When I say camping site, I'm talking about a small elevated platform only slightly larger than a two-man tent surrounded by swamp. I seriously considered going back the way we came. As we settled in for the night, I took the flashlight and scanned the swamp and waterway. It was a little disconcerting to see red eyes looking back at me. We had the company of several alligators. More later.

I had a request to review the movie "Death at a Funeral". So I watched it last night. It was pretty funny, but as I watched it...it was obviously not the movie I was asked to review. I think I was supposed to be reviewing a movie with Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. As it turns out there are three movies with the same name. There are two British versions and an American version. The original one, the one that I watched was the first British version made in 2007. Then there is another British version made in 2010 and the American remake with Chris Rock made in 2010.
So for what it's worth, the 2007 version is not MKI friendly and I would give it a 3 star rating.
