Movie: The Jacket

Pretty sweet Jacob's Ladder-esque war veteran psychological movie with a cool style, some pretty freaky stuff early on, and a tame but admittedly suprising ending.

Recommend: Yeah, if you like Jacob's Ladder-esque war veteran psychological thrillers with a touch of time travel thrown in.

Movie: Sahara

Not bad for a wanna be Indiana Jones flick. Entertaining, cool action, cool chases, loaded with cliches. Nice touch of flesh eating disease fear. Yum...oozing pustules...

Recommend - good one to relax to. Look for depth, development, and meaning in the comic pages. You'll have better luck finding the meaning of life in Snoopy.

Book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Oh. My. God. This book ruled. Rockin' plot. Rockin' end. Ooh- and the darkness of it all. Can't say more because I refuse to ruin it, and this actually is a pretty vague review.

Recommend: If you do not read this book, you raise the likelyhood that someone will kill you.

Movie : Cosmos, War of the Planets

The captain, who did not trust machines, suggested at one point that the computer was wrong because it was drunk in there. At one point I leaned over to Maggie and said, "I think the crew is watching their own spaceship orbit on the view screen." It turned out that they were. The ship they were in was on their view screen. From behind. A lot.

Recommend? Well, if you seek the truly awful, then yes. Oh yes.

Album : "Come On Feel the Illinoise" by Sufjan Stevens

"Our step mom, we did everything to hate her;
she took us down to the edge of Decatur.
We saw the lion and the kangaroo take her
down to the river where they caught a wild alligator."



Recommend? Yes, it's even more expansive than Michigan! What state will be next? Yours?
