Color, enjoy Cool Hand Luke. Great actors - George Kennedy, Harry Dean Stanton, Strother Martin. And this movie has one of my favorite lines ever - "what we have heah is a failure to communicate". My kids have heard me say it to them countless times. I'm just not sure if they know where it came from, or if they're still giving me credit for it...lol

Bluejax, I'm not quite through it. Am enjoying it more than I thought. Not quite what I was expecting. Very much a character study (which is a favorite of mine) in a prison setting. And Robert Drivas is in it.

I was looking at reviews of it on Amazon. Someone there brought it to the readers' attention -- the line is actually, "What we have here is failure to communicate." No article "a".

Four more of his movies I want to get: Cat On a Hot Tin Roof; The Long, Hot Summer; From the Terrace; and The Verdict.

From CHL one of the lines that's stayed with me is: 'What's your dirt doing in my hole.'.

Boris Kodjoe’s daughter Sophie Kodjoe has spina bifida. Boris Kodjoe and wife Nicole Ari Parker reveal on boris world.com that Sophie has spina bifida.

Sophie Tei-Naaki Lee Kodjoe was born in 2005 to Boris. Boris you will remember was named in 2002 one of the “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” by People. Boris stared in Showtimes’ Soul Food from 2002 and 2004 along side Parker who he then married. He also was in the firm The Gospel and appears in the upcoming Nick/Tick.

Kodjoe makes the revelation on boris-world.com that throughout the morning has been crashing. No news site online today has yet reported on the story. But LALATE was able to jump on his site for a brief second early this morning.Here is what Boris writes:


Dear Friends,

We hope you are well. We are writing this letter to share with you a most personal issue and ask for your help. As some of you already heard, our little Sophie was diagnosed at birth with Spina Bifida, the most common birth defect in the US, affecting the brain and/or spine in an average of eight babies a day. Degrees of severity vary from quadriplegic children with major brain damage and spinal injuries to cases of neurogenic bladders or even lesser issues.

We were blessed with a miracle child and spared of the more severe symptoms, but Sophie’s spastic bladder still forces us to catheterize her every three hours, day and night, to avoid pressure build up in her bladder and urine backflow into her kidneys. But frequent catheterization causes urinary tract infections, which are then battled with strong antibiotics, which in turn attack stomach flora and cellular balance, cause bowel issues, and that leads to more infections.

It’s a never ending cycle and the prognosis from specialists all over the world is a life long dependency on catheterization and diapers, unless we’d agree to a bladder augmentation, which is quite risky and not a way we want her to live. While being a simple body function for able-bodied individuals, these activities may take hours for children with Spina Bifida.

So after educating ourselves, studying hundreds of domestic and international cases, and researching alternative and traditional methods, our friend Jim Okula at the Spina Bifida Association of GA called us because he came across Dr Xiao from China. Xiao is the first and only person in the world who has Kodjoe Familydeveloped a procedure of surgically rerouting nerves from the legs to the bladder, providing a new pathway for autonomic stimulation of the bladder, therefore teaching the bladder to empty itself over time.

Dr Xiao has performed this procedure for the past 3 years in China and recently at Beaumont Hospital in Michigan with astonishing results, and now Physicians from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University School of Medicine and Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, along with the Spina Bifida Association of GA want to bring him to Atlanta to supervise a surgical study including ten children.

This has been Nicole’s and my priority, and now this procedure can change a lot of families’ lives. But the first phase of this surgical study is not funded, and therefore we are in this alone. Based on a successful outcome of phase one, phase two and the surgical study of 100 more children would receive federal funding.

So right now we have to raise $1.88 million to pay for the surgical study involving 10 children.
We have included some more information on Spina Bifida and the Xiao Procedure. Please don’t hesitate to write with any questions you guys might have.

As you probably noticed, there’s a big blue ‘DONATE NOW’ button on the welcome page of this site. Please, please, please give as much as you possibly can to help make this a reality for thousands of families and their children affected by Spina Bifida.

I hope Sophie is helped by that procedure (or already was. It can benefit many others when celebrities are generous enough to share their situation and lend their names to a cause, so good for them.

Bluejax, gotta correct myself -- and the Amazon reviewer. When another character says the line early in the movie, he doesn't use the article "a". Later in the movie when Luke says it, he does. (Just watched it.) Ultimately, doesn't matter whether it's used or not.

TMZ has learned that Helio Castroneves has been indicted for allegedly not paying taxes on more than $5 million. Castroneves was indicted today in Miami. The charges -- Conspiracy to Defraud the U.S. and Tax Evasion.

According to the indictment, Helio and two others are accused of using "an offshore Panamanian shell corporation Seven Promotions to conceal and disguise the true and correct amount of Helio Castroneves' income from the Internal Revenue Service."

Helio was indicted along with his sister, Katiucia Castroneves and Alan Miller, Helio's lawyer. The three are charged with conspiracy "for the purpose of impeding, impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful government functions of the Internal Revenue Service."

They are accused of trying to "conceal and disguise" Helio's income. One of the charges -- that Helio received $2 million in salary from a Brazilian trading company but made it appear that he only received $200,000.

The Conspiracy and Tax Evasion charges are each punishable by a maximum of 5 years in federal prison.

Castroneves is known to some as a race car driver, but recently gained wider fame by winning "Dancing with the Stars."
