CD : Wolf Parade - "Apologies to the Queen Mary"

Produced by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse. Four Canadians. One Guitarist, one drummer, TWO synth players. Twitchy, spazzy, a little Modest Mousy. And totally awesome.

Recommend? Well, I'd recommend you check it out. I've been listening to it a lot for about a week and half. And I mean a lot. I bought some other CDs, but I keep taking them out and putting this one in. Also, it will give you huge pectoral muscles.

Movie: Aguirre: Wrath of God

Weird German movie from the 70's. A conquistador leads a bunch of people into the Amazon looking for El Dorado. Lots of great shots of jungle and lots of understated insanity!

Recommend: Spider monkeys. Lots, lots, and lots of spider monkeys.

Movie : Wedding Crashers

I'll do this review in percentages:

41% booooo-ring.
35% funny humor you would expect.
20% unfunny humor you would expect.
3% love story.
1% boobies.

Recommend? Rent. Or sneak in. Don't pay much money for it, anyway.

Movie : History of Violence

Oh man oh man I was sooo looking forward to seeing this movie you wouldn't believe it!

And then I saw it. Damn. At least I saw it in good company, cause... damn.

Is this an Oscar movie? NO.

Would this have been a good script for the next Steven Segal movie? ABSOLUTELY.

All the reviews hinted at this being a grand movie, but after a kind of neat first 10 minutes, I just couldn't see this movie as anything more than a B-grade action flick. I mean... the story was..er, interesting, and it's not a HORRIBLE movie... just not what I was hoping it would be.

Recommend? Only if you want to picture Aragorn doing crazy sex scenes for the rest of your life.

Movie : Kung Fu Hustle

Once upon a time I thought it was illegal to put everything cool about Kung Fu into one movie. However, my thoughts were proven wrong after watching Kung Fu Hustle.

Two words: The Landlady.

Those of you who have seen it, nod your heads in agreement. Those who have not, stop reading and start renting.

Recommend? Definitely. And remember: even Kung Fu Masters can be gay.

Movie : Serenity

Joss Whedon's snappy dialogue in space. With cowboy guns. I'm there.

Recommend? Yeah, I reckon I do. Pardner.
