Movie : Constantine

It's a Keanu movie, but I like Keanu movies! I liked his character (even though he was just a more sarcastic Neo), and I liked the ending. The girl was weird, but I guess in a good way.

And I liked Gabriel! He/she/it rocked!

Recommend? Yup. It's a great way to pass a cold Monday evening.

PC Game : Half Life 2

Ohhh sweet Mama robot mouth...

Recommend? YES! See review above.

(If your computer can't play this game, quickly sell your semen and/or eggs and build a new computer.)

Movie : The Passion of the Christ

This was a powerful movie. It was better than I expected, and I was expecting it to be pretty good. Also, I didn't think that it was 'too' bloody, though it was pretty bloody. There were a few small scenes that were classic Mel...but that's not a bad thing either.

Recommend? YES. But please remember this is a MOVIE, and don't start persecutin' after you watch it, yo.

Book : The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman

The second book in the His Dark Materials trilogy goes everywhere. And tackles every subject imaginable. To quote Will on the third to last page in the book: "I don't understand. It's too strange."

Word, Will. Word.

Strange, but fun, exciting, and awesome too.

Recommend? YES. Up to this point, this trilogy is shaping up to be something pretty spectacular.

Movie : Dawn of the Dead (New Version)

I watched "Dawn of the Dead" on DVD yesterday. While watching this movie I saw various events involving fire, zombies, or guns. Sometimes all three happened at once! Also, Ving the man was in it, and he has been in other movies with guns. So he has experience.

Recommend? Yes. Depending on whether or not you like fire, zombies, or guns, you may or may not like this movie.

Album : The Postal Service : Give Up

This is a great album. Crammed full of fun lyrics and digital beeps, this album packs energy, while the vocals are calm and soothing. It's yin and yang, in its most binary form! I wish I could wear this album as an undergarment.

Recommend? YES. It's much better than cauliflower.

Month : February

February is a bit on the cold side. And it's wet and there aren't many flowers. Also, the sun goes down way too early. This month may have a silent 'r', but that's about all it's got going for it.

Recommend? NO. Save up your money for an April or May. If you really must get a February, I suggest trying to get one down in the Southern Hemisphere.

Service : Blogger Invitation System

I was invited to join this blog, and that process is done by someone clicking the "Invite" button. It took much longer than expected! I was very surprised. It was like a roller coaster: it had its ups and downs, but I ended up about where I thought I might.

Recommend: Yes, I am able to post on this blog now.

Movie : A Knight's Tale

Barf! I'm only reviewing this movie because I have to warn all of you out there who haven't seen it. It has that Heath Ledger guy in it, and also some chick who looks like Angelina Jolie but isn't. It's a movie about knights and jousting and peasants who sing Queen songs and dance like Britney Spears. I can't believe it didn't win an Oscar.

Recommend? NO. Unless you are a girl, and then you will probably love it and make all kinds of girlish cootie noises over Heath Ledger on a horse.

Book : Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

This is one of my top five favorite books of all time. The main character is a kid, and it takes place in space. (Most of it, anyway.)

Recommend? YES. I'll buy you a copy if I have to.

Video Game : The Legend of Zelda : The Minish Cap

The Minish Cap is a pretty fun game for the Gameboy Advance, but you have to bomb EVERYWHERE, and I can't beat the end boss yet. But I guess that is the point of an end boss...you know, to be really tough.

Recommend? SURE, but I can't vouch for the ending.

Book : The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

I like this book! This book goes all over the place! It's like, one moment you're in London, and the next you are in the artic! I couldn't believe it.

Recommend? VERY MUCH YES. It is the beginning of a fun trilogy.

Movie : Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

This movie is really weird, and I guess it's artistic. The people are blurry, and there are lots of robot things and even some dinosaurs.

Recommend? YES. If you think Gwyneth Paltrow is a babe. Or if you think Jude Law is a babe. Or if you like robots and dinosaurs!

Album : Green Day : American Idiot

It's a non-punk punk rock opera!

I liked it pretty good the first time I listened to it, and I liked it even more the second time I listened to it. Nifty, huh?

Recommend? YES. If you don't mind Green Day not being punk anymore. Which I don't.
