Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Filed under: Movies — Get The DL @ 7:54 am

Check out the latest movie review from Get-TheDL’s Hayley Timmons:

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a continuation of the first Transformers movie. Transformers 2 is about the Decepticons after coming under the rule of
Megatron. Optimusprime, and the other autobots gather together to try and destroy the Decepticons. But is it enough? Sam WitWicky and his girlfriend Makayla team up with the Autobots and they all try to destroy whats left of there rivals. But when Sam’s parents get in the middle of the war between the two, will they help or just be in the way? How will they ever survive? Watch to find out.

This film is amazing!!!! It is so much better then the first one. After watching it and after getting online and looking at the reviews I was really disappointed. The reviews said the movie sucked! But it didn’t! It was actually really really good! The sound was perfect, the picture was great and the whole time I was sitting there watching the film I was so amazed by what I saw!

Everyone has the favorite teams. Some people root for the Decepticons to destroy the Autobots, and some want the Autobots to win. But no matter what team you are on this movie is sure to rock you! You’ll laugh, you’ll get nervous when you see your team losing, you’ll cheer, and basically you will just love the film.

Out of all the films I have went and seen at the theatre, This is the only one that I can truly say no matter who you are you will love this movie! Not only should you go see it but take your family, friends, neighbors, teachers, students, cousins, uncles, ANYONE! You just have to see this film!

17th Junior Masters Tournament - Finals - May 23, 2009

Filed under: Sports, Waterski — Get The DL @ 8:42 pm

Get-TheDL’s Nathaniel Latimore attended the 17th Annual Masters Tournament on Saturday, May 23rd, and not only wrote a great article but also sent us some great photos from the event.

Check out the article and photos with additional photos at: www.Get-TheDL.photoreflect.com under the heading: 05232009 - 17th JR Masters Waterski Tournament.

Elimination Day

The Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament, hosted by Nautique, had an exceptional turnout this year for its 50th anniversary. Despite the somewhat gloomy weather, the tournament went on without a hitch.

Started in 1959, the Robin Lake site was built specifically for the purpose of the Masters; it has covered stadium seating, judge’s area, and an expansive pavilion. Recognized by the IWSF/ USA (International Water Ski Federation/ USA) and the WWA (World Wake boarding Association), the Masters is the most prestigious water sports tournament. This year there were between 8 and 12 competitors in each event in all the events (except for women’s wake boarding, where there was only 6).

The day started off overcast and cool, with some light drizzle, but, like the competition, heated up as the day went on. First was the men’s trick skiing: Ranking 1st seed was Nicolas LeForestier from France with 11,040 points, in second was Aliaksei Zharnasek from Belarus with 10,970 points, and in third was Jimmy Siemers from the USA with 10,800 points. In the women’s trick skiing there was France’s Clementine Lucine with 7,910 points, followed closely by Whitney McClintock from Canada with 7,810 points, and trailing closely in 3rd seed was Alex Lauretano from the USA with 7,630. In men’s Slalom, there was American Chris Rossi with 3@39-off, Aaron Larkin from New Zealand with 5.50@38-off, and in third Great Britain’s William Asher with 4@38-off. First seed in women’s slalom was Whitney McClintock with a score of 4@38-off, in the second spot was USA’s own April Eller with 3@38-off, and in third was Karina Nowlan from Australia with 2.50@38-off. For men’s wakeboard there was two separate heats; in first and second seed for heat 1 was Canadian’s Rusty Malinosky (78.67) and Aaron Rathy (75.67). In heat 2, the first and second spots were Americans Phillip Soven (77.33) and J.D. Webb (70.33). Finally, in women’s wake boarding, the first seed went to American Dallas Friday (64.00) and second went to Great Britain’s Nicola Butler (60.33).

With tons of wipeouts and tons of sick tricks, stunts, and maneuvers; the 50th anniversary of the Masters was an absolute paradise for any water-sport lover. The excitement was there at the beginning of the day, and lasted all the way up to after the last event. The crowd fed off of the athletes, and the athlete’s fed off the fans, the tension right before a wake boarder hit the wake to do a back flip was unanimous, and the cheering of the crowd as said back flip was landed was deafening. The precision of the athletes was uncanny, and in most case, almost unreal. But if ever there was a more perfect example of hard work to do what you love, any and all of these athletes are more than perfect examples.
