Moon with sam rockwell...I love sci-fi, it wasn't the greatest story but the acting was great...1 man show.

Style Masters 2. Not nearly as good as the original but ok.

ok, not exactly a movie but we got two discs of the reality show "Frontier House" which was on PBS a while back.

hands down, best reality show i've ever seen, great show, lots to think about, inspiring, entertaining, i'm hoping theres more seasons available on netflix

I just put that DVD into my computer to watch the body surfing section and it is really quite amazing both the surfing and the filming (where they use that 'dolphin technique of using the waves underwater energy to get sucked along instead of surfing the surface face) but the music- wrist cutting stuff, for real.

so anyway, i turned down jack johnson, put on True Faith by New Order and my oh my was i was taken away to another planet. beauty.

I love that flick...

I have a question for you real quick. What did you think of my demo? Did you get it?
I was gonna listen to that, but then, um, I just carried on living my life.
Boardriding is about timing and style...It’s youthful, active, casual, and free flowing. There is no wrong way to ride a board. The goal is simply to learn, progress, improve, and give it your own interpretation.

The Watchmen.

Day 1: I drank too much sangria and got way too faded to finish this epicly long and involved movie.

Day 2: I drank just enough sangria to finish the movie.

Thoughts: not your typical eye candy DB big budget shart fest starring Ben Afflack. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone that likes multi layered stories with difficult moral underpinnings with sci-fi or comic angle. It is visually excellent.

Coraline. If you have a child with a taste for the macabre its well worth a viewing. If you live in Portland, in a decaying Victorian home, with eccentric neighbors you will also love it.

Saturday night with the universe

Postby WC » Sun Sep 13, 2009 10:22 am

last night i took 2, after they set in....

i watched kung fu panda first....perfect pick for a trip...

followed by "The Secret"

if you haven't seen either of these, watch them

kung fu panda is hilarious, touching and has an excellent point to it

and if you haven't seen the secret then you really should
(it might change your life)

especially if you liked "what the ^&%^& do we know?"

it was a very thorough squeegeeing of my third eye.

Next Day Air. The cover had me thinking it was going to be a movie like "Friday" cause one of the main actors were Mike Epps but it turned out to be a more serious gangsta flick with lots of drug dealing and shoot outs. The fine azz boriqua is worth the watch though.
say it!

The Aviator, a good movie worth seeing. I used to really hate Leonardo D. but have to say the last 3 movies I saw him in were good.

'Where The Wild Things Are.'

Probably don't need to say much about this. If you work with children, have children, know a child or were a child at some point in your pitiful life, you should probably look into this film
First Gay Marriage, then legal weed and now a goddamn skatepark in PC.

Zombieland - entertaining, wait for the DVD
