Just a few things I’ve seen/heard recently that I enjoyed:

Knocked Up – very, very funny movie.  Sort of the new version of She’s Having a Baby and Nine Months.  Very funny.  Very crude at times.

Blades of Glory – alright I admit I’m finding Will Ferrel to be extremely funny and this movie is no exception.

Foo Fighters “Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace” – I’ve never been a real Foo Fighter fan, a few songs here and there, but this is a good album.  Solid music and great songs.

Kid Rock “Rock n Roll Jesus” – again never been a real big Kid Rock fan but this is probably the best album I’ve heard in a very long time by anyone.  Great emotion and great songs.

That’s all for now.

I’m not advising anyone to sign the petition at the end.  I just thought the recorded interviews of several government officials contradicting themselves (OK call it lying) was worth the view.  And of course “I’m mad as hell and can’t stand it anymore.”  is always worth a listen.

It’s been a long time since I anticipated seeing a movie in a theater or even willing to pay to see a movie in a theater for myself.  Most of the time it’s taking the children to see the latest Dreamworks or Pixar films, which I too enjoy but i could wait for the DVD.  Anyways, i was really looking forward to the Transformers movie and I wasn’t disappointed.  Lots of good action and great animation.  very well done.  I didn’t even feel too bad paying the $6.50 for it.
