Song of the Day: Boys Night Out - Medicating/Composing

Man, was I dizzy after walking out of that Cloverfield movie. I was warned from friends and family alike about its camera-work. The angle of a "real TV" movie was quite fascinating, but it could have been achieved without the shaky camera work. I wasn't too fond of it for the Blair Witch project and I'm not fond of it now. When walking out of the theatre, I could only think of two things:

• How I absolutely hate the name "Rob"
• I wonder if the movie is better if I were to find a torrent out there of someone who recorded the movie with a personal video device? The shakiness of the recording would probably counter the shakiness of the movie

Song of the Day: River Cuomo - Longtime Sunshine

Probably one of the better released in the last couple of years. Quirky, funny, and real. So have you seen Juno yet? Do it because Juno is Boss. Ellen Page is the cheese to my teenaged macaroni (heart). I already want to see it again. If not for Ellen, then for funniest punchlines from an awkward Michael Cera. Go see it! What are you waiting for!?!??!

Song of the Day: Queens of the Stone Age - I Wanna Make it wit Chu

Like raindrops on Roses and whiskers on kittens, these are few of my favourite things... If you haven't heard, documentaries are amazing! They are the reality TV to big budget movies. James Cameron is shaking in his britches. Now that I've actually seen more than one, here's a quick list of films I've enjoyed and would like to share with youz guyz:

Word Wars
Murderball
Refused are Fucking Dead
Spellbound
American Hardcore

I think I have a fascination with obscure sports... Anyways, if you have any suggestions, on films you've recently seen, let me know!

Song of the Day: Third Eye Blind - Jumper

In case you haven't noticed, my boys are on top of the table in the EPL. It's totally worth waking up early on Saturday mornings. Even Jeff Garlin is a Gunner supporter. And speaking of Garlin, has anyone seen his new movie release called "I want Someone to Eat Cheese With"? The trailer looks good and it has the potential to be a feel good laugher.

Ch-ch-check it out!

Song of the Day: Rilo Kiley - Close Call

I sometimes get a tad obsessive about nouvelle things I come across via internet/word-of-mouth/or television. Welcoming something new to a more or less mundane nine to five happens less than I would like. Anyways, so the new obsession is none other than that cottage time-killer Scrabble. Up to two weeks ago, I have never played this game. I just never thought I'd enjoy a game of words. Thanks to my affinity for documentaries, I stumbled across 'Word Wars', a film that was entered into the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. The film is by far one of the funniest and intriguing flicks I've ever seen. It combines the novelty of a common board game mixed with a handful of quirky characters and the intensity of sport and competition. With the recent success of card games like poker, I think it this film became more appealing. The documentary was so inspiring that I had to find out myself what it was like to sleep with letters floating around in dream. I swear this happens! I also swore I could have seen a Scrabble tournament on ESPN was I was down visiting family in Texas last year.

So if you're looking for something to watch next time you're at a movie rental centre, take a look for Word Wars. You won't be disappointed. In the meantime, who wants to play?

Song of the Day: The Forest City Lovers - Song for Morrie

Superbad: Go see it. It'll be worth a few laughs. Since it's based on a recollection of Seth Rogen's teenage years, I found this article really funny. I think I found Glenn a real estate agent!
