Precious was gnarly.

It's a matter of when, not if.

Not sure why you would say something like that......

Up in the Air - liked it a lot, clooney does well and has hotties Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga
Observe and Report - strange, but good, and original
District 9 - good movie, very original, funny in a weird way
Click - bad, stupid, don't bother
Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy - well done, tough life (sarcasm)
Small Town Gay Bar - good documentary
Second Thoughts: Surfing - lame, self indulgent and immature
Peel: The Peru Project - really well done, good surf movie, liked it, interesting too
Choke - really liked it
Vicky, Christina, Barcelona - had some redeeming qualities but typical annoying woody allen stuff too, terrible voice over almost ruined it completely

Rented Creepy Fingers on netflix. Very well done, good amped up soundtrack, filmed right when everyone's doing airs but not a whole lot of spins. Also there's one section where these guys are taking off and doing floaters over rocks that are exposed when there's no wave!

It was far from a wish, merely pointing out that you ride and I don't. Like you said "when, not if". I told my dad i wanted a bike and he freaked, his best freind died this way.

Brothers (2009)

A soldier and his subordinate are captured in Afghanistan after their plane crashes.
They are tortured and reported as dead back home.
His brother in the mean time moves in on the wife and kids.
Some pretty sick shite happens before he is saved and sent home where more shite happens.

Kind of depressing.

Have been following the series about aliens on the History Channel, I beleive it's called Ancient Aliens, or that was the name of one in the series...
Really interesting, thought provoking and kind of disturbing.

the present, or whatever, the new Thomas Campbell film. The footage is great, but he's not funny, or cute... the Bruce Brown schtick is just dumb. Also, I don't need a lecture or sermon from jet-setters on "living green".

The Road
Read the book a year or more ago. Definitely a good read and although they shuffled the storyline around a bit to keep it moving, the movie did not dissapoint. I wouldn't exactly call it 'moving', but thought provoking.

Watching Legion tonight. Wanted to see it in theatres, never did. Never heard any reviews of it either.

Brick.
excellent who-done-it, a film-noir detective flick transposed into a modern cali high school.

Netflix watch instantly movies blow. Watched some movie called "Deepwater". Kind of cleverly done, seeing the movie through the lead character's thought disorder but still lame.
