Up In the Air

This was just a superb movie. Clooney does what he does best in Up In the Air and it definitely shows. Movies like this aren't usually my cup of tea, well they kinda are, but i have to be in the mood for it, but this movie just worked in every way possible. The characters were more than believable, the situations that they were in are realistic, and all the shades of gray between the definite black and whites in life are more than apparent in the movie. Dana recommended this movie to me and I immediately put it on the top of my queue and it deserved the instant boost up there. If you like Clooney you'll love this movie. If you like dramas, you'll love this movie. Watch Up In the Air now, you wont regret it.

Easter

On a different note. Me and my sister spend Easter at Dana’s place cause the rest of the family was MIA. It was a simple potluck type thing. My sister made mac and cheese and I brought Banana Cream Pie. I met Dianna’s BF as well as Chuck’s GF at the gathering. I also “officially” me Dana’s BF Ryan there too. Had some bonding moments with JJ, yadda yadda yadda. Oh yea, beer. That’s always a plus.

Closing with the Redheads

Nothing particularly interesting happened today. I woke up and went phone browsing with Jo for a bit. I'm stoked about getting the HTC Incredible that's gonna be coming out soon. After that I didn't do much. I just put videos onto my ipod touch which basically means I retired it from playing music, I have the nano for that cause it's smaller and holds the same amount. After that I took a nap and went to work. Work was the same old routine. I had a good ushering group. It was me, Ryan, Tucker, Charlie, and Leslie but she was sent home early. Close usher with Chelsea and Anne...my two redheads as I like to call them. We finished at 2:30am ish and we raided the break room for posters. I walked away with another She's Out Of My League poster along with two Hot Tub Time Machine posters and a Repo Men poster.

Release the Kraken!

Today I woke up, did some BC2, and jammed out back to West Co with Sana. We went to some Ramen joint on the corner of Fullerton and Colima where Yogurtland was. I had the Unagi Ramen cause i was still craving Unagi from a while ago. It was pretty good. Definitely worth the money; I might actually have to stop by that place again to try something else.

After the Ramen place we went to AMC to watch Clash of the Titans in 3d

If you liked the old 1981 iteration of Clash of the Titans, you might not like this version. After watching this one, I appreciated the original a lot more. i’m not sure what makes such a difference. This one is definitely better in the visuals and a tone more action packed but it just didn’t seem to have the magic of the original. The 3d wasn’t really impressive and I didn’t even notice it most of the time; I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. In terms of the story, this one did not follow the original at all. It tried to be like God of War and failed at it. I wish it stuck to the original story instead of making it more Hollywood. This movie had so much potential. Too bad it failed. On a plus side though….Io in the movie is quite pretty. She definitely kept me interested.

Oh, after my closing shift I was able to snag a bunch of new posters. One of which was She’s Out of my League…hopefully I can snag a Hot Tub Time Machine one too.

Fire Within is done and...

I finished watching the Fire Within series and…wow…it’s as amazing as the first time I watched it. Olga and Raquel as are beautiful as I remember and it’s just as gripping as before. The third disc has the world premier of Varekai and it just looked stressful. They cover everything from the final dress rehearsal that went disastrous to opening night, to everyone saying goodbye to Gareth and Ashley as the were not going to be touring with the troupe cause their contracts were terminated after Montreal. It’s kinda heart wrenching to see Ashley try and hide his disappointment cause it was his dream to tour with the Cirque and it was torn away from him at the last minute. If you haven’t seen Fire Within yet you’re definitely missin’ out. Watch it now.

Kiss On My List

Kiss On My List by Daryl Hall & John Oates. I randomly thought about the movie She's Out of My League and the scene where Stainer and his tribute band Adult Education is singing this song for Molly's younger sister's 21st birthday party came to my mind. Ever since then it's been stuck on my head. It's been in my head for 2 days now. It's a catchy song...but damn...two days is a long time for one song.

Clash of the Titans 1981

Clash of the Titans from 1981 did not age well at all. The visuals are very dated and camera work is shaky, but if you can look past its unavoidable faults, you will probably like that movie. Warning to everyone though, make sure you aren't tired when watching this movie. I dozed off several times while watching it cause I was tired so i had to rewind the movie several times. It's something that's worth watching just to see an oldschool mythology movie before the new version comes out tonight (the new one is getting destroyed by reviewers). If you like eye candy like some people i know *cough*Andy*cough* you might just scoff at the movie, but if you just want to watch a good adventure, this movie will do the trick.
