This has been a fairly uneventful week. I watched a few movies and contracted a cold.
Movies:
Burn After Reading - A comedy written by Joel and Ethan Coen of No Country for Old Men and The Ladykillers fame. A rather entertaining offering from the brothers which definitely draws from several of their past works [...]

I went to see The Dark Knight last night in Imax. It was a pretty fun experience. There was a ton of people there, as a matter of fact the were completely sold out. Those theatres hold quite a lot of people too.
Overall I’d suggest going, but be sure to get there early or [...]

So, 39 Steps is an awesome play.
The premise is that a guy who is a bit bored with life as not much interesting happens meets a strange woman one night. She tells him that men are after her and that she knows information that could save Britain. She is later murdered that night and the [...]

So, stumbling around on youtube the other day and I came across a video of a band’s 1989 BBC performance. This band you ask? It was the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and let me tell you… they are quite awesome. I suggest you head over to youtube and search for “Music for a Found Harmonium”. Harmoniums [...]

So, I was watching a little TV here in my room in England and a show on BBC2 featured a performance by The Arcade Fire. The Arcade Fire is a fairly awesome band and they are definitely worth checking out. They are reminiscent of The Decemberists. Anyway, one member of the band was playing this [...]

So, I watched Reign Over Me this past weekend. It’s quite an awesome movie. I suggest that everyone go out and watch the movie. It once again reaffirms how awesome Don Cheadle is and it shows that Adam Sandler can play a decent semi-serious character. Though, what I didn’t understand was how Cheadle’s character could [...]

I’ve been so bogged down with school work the last few weeks. I’ve been working on my AI project a lot the last few days and that isn’t going quite as well as I had hoped. I had a number of midterms the last few weeks. Those had a few good and bad moments. We’re [...]

I have definitely been enjoying Hollywood’s recent endeavour to intentionally put out movies with very thin plots. They don’t try and convince themselves or their audience that the movie is anything more than 90 minutes of blowing stuff up. I like being able to go to a theater and completely veg out for a little [...]
