Sahel Kazemi Lived and Died a Tragic Love Story

It seems they found out who the woman was laying dead next to Steve McNair’s body. Her name was Sahel Kazemi.

I’m not sure what the facts are behind the whole situation. I don’t even really want to speculate. All the news reports are saying that she was his girlfriend.

It kind of sounds like a Shakespearian play… A story of forbidden love… Love that was never meant to be… An impossible love.

OK… Guess I will speculate: It is a story where he was seeing this girl on the side… a secret from everybody. He promised her that he was going to leave and divorce his wife so he could be with her. When push came to shove, he didn’t want to divorce his wife. When Sahel pushed him as hard as she could and he still didn’t leave his wife, she bought a gun, planned out what she was going to do, then three days later, shot him, then herself.

Apparently her love for him was dangerously strong. She could not stand the thought of being without him. When he wouldn’t leave his own wife so he could be with her, she decided they would be together forever in the afterlife.

Of course I am making all this up. I have no clue what the real story is. It is just a really sad story. How ‘bout you tell me what you think happened. Make a comment.

My Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Major Spoilers)

I saw this movie late. I was able to borrow it from a family member. I heard all the reviews and went it in not expecting very much. Everyone I talked to who had seen the movie said that it lacked something to be desired. Now that I have seen it I will put it up there with the release of Star Wars episode one.

I was disappointed for about the first twenty minutes. When they threw Indiana onto the ground and he stood up not quite completely strait, I just had to laugh. The jokes I heard about Indiana Jones and the Geriatric Chronicles seemed right on the money. He just seemed too old for the part. He seemed to really struggle to make things happen. Every stunt he did seemed unrealistic.

I thought the atomic bomb was kind of pointless. Yes it was the infancy of the nuclear age and the imagery was awesome, but it seemed that the only reason they added the nuclear explosion was to draw attention; a kind of wow factor. There was no real reason for it. It didn’t really lead into the story. It didn’t even hold a key to what the story was about. It was just there; a reason to lock Indiana inside a refrigerator and send him tumbling down a hill away from the explosion.

The villainess was kind of wimpy. Her second in command was more like the kind of villain I like to see Indiana go up against. She seemed a little unsure about herself. Every time Indiana got close to her trying to steal the treasure back, she got this frightened look on her face. She just wasn’t the hard, Russian enemy I expected to see him go up against.

I liked the idea of the aliens. I know there were a lot of other people who didn’t like this idea. It was the nineteen-fifties though. People of that time were looking for UFOs. They were expecting to see aliens. This episode tried to explain area 51 and what we did with the crashed spaceship. It was also a small tribute to Stephen Spielburg, being a number of his movies had to do with aliens. There was a small tribute to George Lucas as well, when Indiana said the favorite one-liner, ”I have a bad feeling about this;” Stripped strait out of Star Wars.

Thought the killer monkeys and the quicksand were kind of pointless. Both of them had very little effect on the progress of the story. The monkeys attacked and then were never seen again. At least with the killer ants, the power of the crystal skull came to light. As for the quicksand, the only reason for it was to make sure they were captured again while giving the couple a little bit of time to talk.

Where’s the city of gold? They made all this hype about how they were going to find a city of Gold when they returned the skull to its rightful place. I saw a little gold on the pillars but there was defiantly a lack of gold throughout the city. If they had only showed a beautiful golden city, the last scene would be more powerful. Oh well.

I enjoyed the movie. It would be a great flick to rent or borrow from a friend, If you go in not expecting much, you will at least have a good time. I will give it 2.5 stars out of 5.
