I recently bought three albums: Paramore’s “Brand New Eyes”,Rise Against’s “Appeal To Reason”, andKings of Leon’s “Only By The Night”. So far, “Brand New Eyes” is the onegrabbing my attention with several good songs and some variety of style. And, as always with Paramore, Hayley Williams’ voice is amazing.After “Ignorance”, the angry song getting play...

I've been watching a bunch of movies during my time off for Christmas, but none have really stuck out. Tonight, however, I finished watching Head in the Clouds, and was very impressed. Critics have been very harsh to it, apparently, but I thought it was a great personal-level story of politics, war, and hedonism in...

Here's a good summary of reviews of Serenity, on all the different levels you can enjoy the film.

Just got back from watching Serenity. It was excellent: go see it if you haven't. It helps if you've watched Firefly, as the movie can't possibly give you the depth of the characters like the TV show. But it's not necessary. Just watch it for a great story, wonderfull, funny dialog, and good action.

I just wanted to make some quick comments on one of the movies I recently watched: Bringing Up Baby. The movie was a fun, fast-paced, screwball comedy. But, more importantly, Katherine Hepburn was utterly charming in this movie as a hyper, nutty, self-centered, earnest young woman trying desperately to win over Cary Grant's character. Actually,...

Now, I've never cried during a movie. Anyone who knows me would say that I'm not all that emotional of a guy. But there were two video-moments that I recently watched that did choke me up a bit. Both these scenes were both extremely well acted, in addition to be about quite difficult, emotional issues.The...

I've got quite a back-log of TiVo'd movies to blog about. We started to watch Funny Face, but turned it off quickly, reinforcing the conclusion that I really don't like musicals. In fact, I can only think of two musicals off-hand that I've enjoyed. The first is The Wizard of Oz, though I think it's...

Thanks to TiVo and Turner Classic Movies, I've been able to watch a lot of movies, especially movies from 1940's and '50's. I figure maybe a lot of people haven't seen these, so I should blog about ones I liked.Tonight my wife and I watched The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, starring Cary Grant and Shirley...

Isn't this basically a feature-length threat against the Paparazzi?

I have lost faith (once again) in the ability of awards show to make judgements properly. Sure, I didn't actually see the other movies, but it is inconceivable that A Beautiful Mind is an example of a better directing job than Lord of the Rings. For Peter Jackson not to be recognized for the amazing...
