10:54p.m. *Cinema — The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowski (2008)

• I know, I know I just never got around to seeing it.

• John Goodman was great, but my goodness, I just wanted his character to shut up the entire time.

• Quite possibly the least annoying role Jeff BRidges has ever played.

• A perfect role for Tara Reid.

• Julianne Moore’s manner of speaking was bizarre and great at the same time.

• I think my favorite thing about most Coen brothers movies is the way every single facet of one of their films is just so stylized, and each time, its a completely different style.

• I absolutely loved the ending.

10:59a.m. *Cinema — Wonderland

Wonderland (2003)

• Very interesting to see Val Kilmer play the same character Mark Wahlberg previously played.

• They obviously both played the role of John Holmes with a a child-like quality.

• Yet Wahlberg played Homes at around ten years old, while Kilmer played him as a toddler.

• Generally the toddler was more annoying and much less empathetic.

• The real story behind this movie is what makes it so compelling. Its nuts.

• Kate Bosworth has fantastic hair in this movie.

• Definitely weird seeing Dylan McDermott in the role of David Lind. Weird seeing him trying to look and act like a scary guy.

• Did I mention how great the real story is behind this? Cause it is.

4:50p.m. *Cinema — O Brother, Where Art Thou?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

• That song is the catchiest song on the planet.

• I had seen bits and pieces but never had gotten the chance to see it from start to finish.

• Oh, Dan Dapper. I’ve never seen someone so obsessed with their hair.

• Of course I loved all the Odyssey references.

• Seriously though, the catchiest song ever.

7:45p.m. *Swag — Cable YoYo Pop

Cable YoYo Pop (RadTech)

• Yes, I know I’m reviewing a ten dollar product.

• It’s designed to stick onto the back of your iPod. However, if you have an iPhone, you probably don’t want to stick your headphones on it all the time.

• So I stuck the suction cup to the included same-sized belt-clip. It worked like a charm.

• It took me way too long to find the ideal way to keep my headphones in my purse.

• Small and very thin.

• However not too tiny that you lose it within the first day.

• It’s the perfect size.

• Very, very impressed.

4:53p.m. *Cinema — The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight (2008)

• As good as everyone is saying.

• Heath Ledger was fantastic. Creepier than anything ever.

• Seriously though, I had trouble watching half of his scenes simply because I was afraid of anything he’d do. Although this was less about his acting and more about his actions. I’m a wimp when it comes to movie violence.

• Maggie Gyllenhaal kicked Katie Homes’ butt. I mean her acting was just so much better.

• Loved Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine as usual.

• Christian Bale was good of course, though for a movie about Batman, it wasn’t really all about Batman.

• There is no way that Nestor Carbonell looks old enough to be a mayor. I’m probably just used to Mayors being old.

• The criminals (other than the Joker) were kind of… eh.

• Real, creepy, and highly enjoyable.

11:36p.m. *Cinema — Wall-E

Wall-E (2008)

• Might be the cutest movie on the planet.

• Loved just about everything Wall-E did.

• So sweet.

• Absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait to see it on my TV.

• Loved every bit of physical comedy.

• I know I’m probably in the minority, but I actually liked Ratatouille even more.

• However that doesn’t mean that I didn’t love Wall-E.

1:00a.m. *Cinema — Iron Man

• On a whole, highly enjoyable.

• If for no other reason than for Jeff Bridges’ beard.

• Robert Downey Jr. is a very lucky man for getting that part.

• He did an awesome job though.

• I spotted on Downey’s imdb page that he’s going to be playing Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk. Interesting…

• Its fair to say that there was a fair amount of product placement, but of course, its a superhero movie.

• It was… refreshing.

• Looking forward to the next one.

2:25a.m. *Cinema — There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood (2007)

• Daniel Day-Lewis was awesome.

• He totally deserved his Oscar for his accent alone. It was so cool.

• I had no idea that Paul Dano was the same kid from Little Miss Sunshine. What a great actor.

• The music. Omg. Constant suspense music. Drove me insane. So much impending doom!

• The whole parent/child element was so potent and incredibly sad.

• One word: Milkshake.

• Anything with Ciarán Hinds, you know its gotta be good.

• Wanted to punch Eli in the face the entire movie.

• Intense is an understatement.

• I really hated that music.

6:47p.m. *Cinema — 25th Hour

25th Hour (2002)

• Edward Norton just rocks.

• First time I didn’t find Rosario Dawson entirely annoying.

• Except that her name was Naturelle. That was pretty annoying.

• It was funny that at the very beginning Edward Norton references the X-Men, and Anna Paquin as you know, was in the X-Men movies.

• Appreciated the contrast in Frank’s character. He was clearly a sleazy guy, who actually was capable of feeling.

• Barry Pepper looks less creepy with much shorter hair (than in the film).

• That dog was awesome.

• Philip Seymour Hoffman was fantastic as usual.

• Nice appearance by Patrice O’Neal.

• One of the best lines ever: “Who are you trying to be… R. Kelly?”

9:40p.m. *Cinema — No Country for Old Men

No Country for Old Men (2007)

• All in all a great movie.

• I spent the whole movie going “its the guy who played two guys in Deadwood!”.

• Its fair to say this entire movie is based on how incredibly creepy Javier Bardem can be.

• Long, but kept my attention.

• The whole no-music thing worked rather well.

• I don’t know if I’ll ever know the point of it all, but I guess thats ok.

• Although it puzzled me at first, I really appreciated the whole many tried, but all failed to be heros thing.
