Look Mom, I'm Tweeting!
That's right. I'm a lemming, but a lemming that updates that Twitter feed with thoughtless banter regularly.
It will be the new home to all my brain vomit, if you're into that sort of thing.

Movie Reviews
French fries taste better with catch-up
The Kids Are All Right, comedy, USA (2010) Dir. Lisa Cholodenko
Cholodenko's subtle hints at emotion were so delicate that you too want to be a part of this modern and love filled family. Amazing performances by the cast. But I beg to ask, why is it that Julianne Moore can't be in a movie without having a topless scene?
Exit Through The Gift Shop, documentary, USA/UK (2010) Dir. Banksy
An incredibly well executed film that fulfills an artistic agenda to preserve the integrity of street art. Banksy's sense of humor buys your trust and takes you on an unexpected trip through a portrait of an artist. This movie reminded me of my long lost love with documentary filmmaking. (Note: I had graduated from film school with full intention to become a documentarian like Agnes Varda or Werner Herzog)
The Tourist, action, USA/France (2010) Dir. Florian Henkel von Donnersmarck
Despite using A-list good looking actors, Italy as a backdrop, and motorboat stuntwork, the story's cheap literary devices leave you unsatisfied like a peanut M&M with no peanut.
True Grit, western, USA (2010) Dir. Coen Brothers
As much as I love westerns and the Coen Bros, I fell asleep during this one. Plus, young child characters who speak like adults are nothing but unbearable to watch. I'll leave this movie with John Wayne
The Ten Commandments, drama, USA (1956) Dir. Cecil B. DeMille
On Easter, the best egg you can find is Yul Brynner's dome in this Moses epic. DeMille depicts a rather colorful interpretation of Exodus through huge sets and graceful camera movements that reinforce the grandeur of the film. For a time when filmmaking didn't have the luxury of "fixing it in post (production)", this movie is as well crafted on a larger than life scale.

Princes and Bad Guys
So Bin Laden got X's for eyes, Kate Middleton became a Duchess, Chrysler reported its first profits since filing bankruptcy. The American outlook seems hopeful and this is the most foreign and awkward news to me. And here I was thinking Obama was going to announce an uncontrollable asteroid was headed straight for us and that we were all going to die. (Were you scared? I was scared.)
