Movies:
I enjoyed this flick, some gorgeous aerial shots, a unique story, and George Clooney is superb. If you like Juno or Thank You for Smoking please go see this. It's pretty darn funny too. Sad to see this film so overlooked by crap like "Avatar".
This is a documentary on Burning Man and it was good since I knew nothing about it. It is definitely something I want to partake in once in my life. If you love craziness, check this out.
This documentary about how we got into the war in Iraq is great and sad. Sad to see how our government dropped the ball and how many have suffered from it. Please watch this, it's very well done.
Awesome movie. I almost stopped right there but then thought it'd be a disservice to Sam Rockwell; he did a fantastic job. This is also the first film for director, Duncan Jones, he did a great job; interested to see what he comes up with next. A nice and unique story as well as simplistic. Basically about an astronaut who is harvesting moon rocks starts seeing himself around his moon base.
Books:
Life of Pi - This was a very fun to read book and something different from what I thought it'd be about, but I liked where it went. Basically an Indian boy gets in a shipwreck from India to Canada and is on a life boat with a tiger. Martel, the author, does a great job keeping the story interesting even though its just a boy and a tiger on a boat! come on people, this is good stuff. love the ending.
The Stranger - Just started this short book by Alexander Camus; my friend Chris just handed it to me the other day and I'm already half way done. Different writing style than what I'm used to, a bit choppy, but it fits really well with the story. Basically its about a guy who winds up murdering someone, so we'll see what happens....
Music:
Have Heart "Songs to Scream at the Sun" - Just another great album by Have Heart. "Songs to Scream at the Sun is the coming of age story. It's about the growing process of a young kid shaking the chains of selfishness, but it's everything about what you lose and gain in that process of growing up." —Patrick Flynn (vocals for Have Heart) This says it all! "The Same Sun" is my fav, and the fav of so many others.
Defiance, Ohio "The Great Depression" - A band I heard from Evan. A peppy punk rock band who sings a lot about anti-capitalism. The first four songs on the album are really great check em out! you can download their music for FREE: Defiance, Ohio
Pedro the Lion "Control" - David Bazan's former band. Just great songs, definitely one of his best albums. Please take a listen.
