Laura and I went to see ‘Sweeney Todd’ tonight.
I must not have paid attention to the commercials I saw on TV because I hadn’t realized it was a musical. So… those first few minutes of the movie were rather interesting.
Now I’m not really “into” musicals. Musicals, in my mind, are equal to ‘Grease’ and that [...]

Went out and saw ‘American Gangster’ tonight with Kris, JJ and Jenn. It was a pretty damn good movie. Not my favourite genre but still highly enjoyable. Very long, though. They could have cut out 30-40 minutes of Russell Crowe and it would have been better. Sure, establish that he wasn’t just some ordinary cop, [...]

Laura and I went out and saw ‘Across the Universe’ tonight. I’m not usually into musicals, but this was really well done. I really loved it and would recommend it to anyone who watched the trailer and thought, “yeah, maybe.” The only down side is that it’s fairly long (the actual movie is just over [...]

Dennis and I drove to Ryan’s place in Oshawa around noon today and we caught a late-afternoon screening of ‘Sunshine’ at some theatre in Scarborough. It was definitely worth the extra driving - it was a fantastic movie. The characters were all very realistic and I cared about each of their fates. Good writing, [...]

It took me three tries to watch all of ‘The Number 23′ - I just kept falling asleep. I’m not even sure why, either. It was kind of a cool movie in the end. A movie of obsession, as it were.
It was… okay in the end. It wasn’t anything amazing and the whole 23 being [...]

Up and off to brunch at Country Boy with Ryan, Joe, Dennis and Alison. The three of us who had slept at my place got there first and got in the big line. We had been waiting for maybe two minutes when some employee stuck his head out the door and asked if there were [...]

Matthew Good’s new album, Hospital Music, comes out July 31st and it’s available as a stream starting today on Matt Good’s site.
And it’s good. I was up late last night listening to it.
Ah yes, I drew those late tonight.
Also, Laura and I watched ‘The Ex’ tonight and it was most excellent!

Laura and I saw ‘Spider-Man 3′ today. The short version of this review is that I went to see Venom and he was awesome. Otherwise, the movie felt long, like they were just trying to tell too many stories.
The longer, spoiler, version is that jerk-Peter Parker was a fucking tool. Flashing the guns to all [...]

Didn’t see it in theatres, bought it when it first came to DVD and didn’t watch it then, either. Tonight, I finally watched ‘Casino Royale’ and it was pretty cool - Bond’s a badass: Not only am I going to win all your money, I’m also going to take your car and fuck your wife. [...]
