Free

“Free” by Mao Abe. The Japanese Avril Lavigne? Brilliant song, I love it.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is powerful cinema at its finest. So unbelievably good, you simply have to watch this. But be warned, it will break your heart.

Recent Magical Movies

My girlfriend and I have watched a lot of movie lately, some together, some I’ve watched by myself. Some were magical, some average, but mostly decent at the very minimum.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (#61 on IMDb) was freaking phenomenal. So beautiful. That and Slumdog Millionaire (#46 on IMDb) are my two favorite movies this year. Just wanted to make that clear since I recently said that only Slumdog was my favorite of 2008, but that was before I had a chance to watch TCCoBB and I figured that it was too late for another movie to be as good as that.

Other movies I’ve bought and enjoyed recently, both by Tim Burton: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The latter I watched for the very first time with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it immensely! In fact, we loved it.

Then there’s the classics like Dumb & Dumber and Forrest Gump.

The Basketball Diaries with Leonardo DiCaprio was heartbreaking. That guy can sure act! One of our favorite movies to watch together is Catch Me If You Can. On that note we’ve also bought What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, which I’ve always wanted to watch.

Yes Man (Jim Carrey) was so good we wanted to watch it twice at the cinema. And we did. That leads me to The Truman Show, which should get here soon.

Then there’s Memento, which I’ve only watched once a few years ago.

So many movies…

Random Thoughts in the Midst of Chaos

Slumdog Millionaire is my favorite movie this year and it so deserves to be a huge success at the Oscar’s.

Fall Out Boy’s new album Folie á Deux is brilliant and has surpassed my expectations, which were rather unrealistic considering that it’s my favorite band. Well done guys.

For personal reasons this has been my worst Christmas ever and it’s one I’m eager to forget.

I really want this hooded scarf.

Yes Man was a really good movie.

This Clandestine Industries Mario t-shirt is cool.

Let the Right One In, a Swedish horror/drama flick, was incredible.

I really want to read the books that Slumdog Millionaire and Let the Right One In are based on. I’ll probably buy ‘em soon.

Another good movie I’ve watched lately is Zack & Miri Make a Porno.

Thanks to Yes Man I’ve discovered how great of a band Journey is.

I’m hoping 2009 shapes up to be better than what life has been like lately.
