I've been watching alot of movies recently, because I'm broke. There's a good reason though... I paid for a trip to Las Vegas from my last pay cheque, so I've been suffering ever since. This Friday should bring me back out of my moderate financial funkiness. So far it'll be Adam, Trisha, Sheila and myself going to Vegas in November. We're staying at the Imperial Palace, which is right on the strip and consistantly receives good reviews from people that have stayed there, so I'm going to have to steal some towels or a mini-fridge from it... you know, as a keepsake. I'm looking forward to it, anyways. Gonna drink alot, play some holdem, win my very own hooker, and none of you will ever see me again. Brent, and possibly Chris & Anastasia, are going to come out for a day or two to party with us, Fear & Loathing style, so with any luck, we'll all end up in jail. If anyone wants to volunteer in advance to post our bail, please forward all applications to me, and I will pick the winner later this week.
Anyways, about those movies I watched... I will just name the movie and give my brief opinion of it, because I'm no critic:
- The Human Stain - not bad... in other words, I didn't hate it.
- Taking Lives - it kept me interested all throughout the movie, so it was ok.
- Foolproof - I liked it. It was recommended by Greg Robertson, and like him, I'm partial to heist movies, so it was lots of fun to watch... plus I think Ryan Reynolds is funny too, so there's a bonus.
- Ong-Bak - a Japanese action movie that Adam got... I rather liked it, mostly due to kick-ass (non-wire) stunts performed by the main character... very impressive!
- Collateral - It was good. I'd recommend viewing it... because it was good.
- Adaptation - I liked this movie quite a bit. I had a few small issues with it, but then again, not many movies are pure gold... so this one is a gem, definitely.
I can't think of any other movies I've watched recently, but I'm sure I'm missing some. I'll keep posting my mini-movie reviews, because it's hard to think of anything else to write about that's at least interesting to read.
Hey, poker is interesting! A few weeks ago Scott, Andrew, Adam, Craig and I entered into a Texas Holdem tournament that our friend Ian the Lifeguard, the Lifeguard Ian told us about. It was $25 entry fee. We played for quite a few hours and I ended up in 4th place, over all. I got $45 for that, so I was pretty damn happy with that.
Anyways, that's it for now!
