Okay so I watched An-fa-neeee's aka The Alpha Male's first movie "The Ties That Bind" which was written and produced by the alpha male himself. I watched it while retwisting my hair and let me just say as soon as the movie was over I had to get online a give my feedback ASAP.
I didn't know too much about the movie before hand and the back of the movie basically says the movie is about a dude that makes one bad decision and it spirals out of control. I have read other folks reviews of the movie and the only thing that I learned that I didn't know was that the ending wasn't what you thought it would be....and they were NOT lying!!!
OMG! I stopped midtwist and looked at the screen like where the bleep did that come from???? I think the exact words out of my mouth were "oh s***" I love movies that do that! Even when I knew it wasn't going to be the typical ending, my guess of the ending was WRONG! I love it!
The only con were that you could tell some folks were acting, but hey who has Halle Barry or Denzel Washington type money to pay out for your first movie?
I really liked the song in the beginning and how the segments ran together and how a lot of moral stuff was written in. I think he catered this movie towards women by a lot of the dialogue. Which he actually kinda told me when I brought it. Then he gets brownie points for having a thick actress with some lines in the movie. That's hot!
All and all I would give the movie 4 out of 5 stars. Definitely worth having a copy in your movie collection.
When I brought the movie The Alpha Male told me that if I didn't like the movie, he'd take me out to dinner next time I was in town. Guess I gotta find me another dinner date cuz I honestly enjoyed The Alpha Male's first big baby.
I have given Annaknee notice that I have viewed the movie, so I am sure he'll leave comment on how to buy a copy if your interested. :-)
The rest of my weekend is below, and this time I didn't sleep through it. LOL

Now I'm curious about the movie...
Okay...movie or weekend? I'll do both!
Movie - from the words of the writer....
"The Ties That Bind revolves around the central character "Devin" which is played BRILLIANTLY by DeLon Howell (www.delonhowell.com ) and his inability to escape his past and how it effects his present relationships all around with surprising and shocking results. Love, Trust, Faith and Deception all play a part in this film with a ending that will leave you with your hand over your mouth in shock."
Weekend - car broke down, Pooka had a near drown experience, and girlfriends house almost caught fire
Luv, it's a good movie. Especially to be someone's first crack at movie making.
I like the weekend synopsis. I picture you saying it with a blank look on your face using your I'm bored at work voice. You just forgot to add a same old, same old or the usual to the end of it.
