Movie : The Prestige

It's a decent movie about dueling magicians. It's funny how they keep thwarting each other, but it may not have meant to be funny. I like how the surprise goons of the movie are Thomas Edison's men. Take that, Tesla!

Recommend? It's a good one to watch at least once.

Movie : An Inconvenient Truth

The scariest movie I've seen this summer. I'm glad Mr. Al Gore sees an optimistic future, because I sure don't. But I DO recycle pretty hardcore. And this movie made me turn off my air conditioning. Yikes.

Recommend? If there is one movie you watch before global warming ends the world, I guess this is the one that will make you say "doh."

Er, please recycle. And plant a tree.

The Avett Brothers!!!

Yesterday afternoon i watched one of the most enjoyable concerts that i've been to in a while. i only got to catch the opening act called the mad tea party on their last song which was pretty good. their band consisted of a upright bass player who doubled as a kick drum player a ukulele and guitar player also. when the avett bros came on they opened with a tune off of their new album which was really good. the thing that really amazed me was that the banjo player was using a kick drum an the guitar player was using a cymbal, which was blended very natural into the performance. during the show their were parts where i was feeling like i was attending a wild punk rock show ( the banjo player stood on the kick drum). also there were parts were they used their instruments as percussion in very energetic break downs.
so over all if you like bands that put on one hell of a fun show then remove thy asses from the couch and go watch them if they come around your town.

Movie : Babel

This is a rough movie and it gave me a stress headache. It is the slightly interlocking story of an American family, a Mexican family, a Moroccan family, and a Japanese family. The Japanese school girl shows all of her naughty parts many times, but in ways that will make you uncomfortable. The Moroccan little boys do naughty things that will make you uncomfortable. The American couple will have a kiss that makes you feel very uncomfortable. And the Mexicans are pretty cool.

Recommend? Yes, but please have some aspirin nearby for when it is over.
