Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Jun 27th
My girlfriend and I watched the entire Lord of the Rings Extended Trilogy today. 10 hours straight, or so. Even though I was really fed up of watching the last endless hour of Return of the King, I must admit, what an amazing piece of cinematography these films are.
I mean, hey, fuck Avatar! LOTR is as good as movie making and watching get. You’ve got some great acting, sensational screenplay and spectacular CGI effects. I know a few people that haven’t seen any of the LOTR movies. That is just nuts. I think these movies have something for everyone.
If you’re one of the few that haven’t seen any of these movies, something’s wrong – seek medical attention.
Oh Canada Movie
Jan 21st
My fellow Canadians, take a look at your favorite MP discussing the economic crisis, the Canadian dollar & see how in the name of god we got to be so oblivious if not near-moronic when we elect those retards to run our country.
By the way, the film is low budget, sure, but the film was basically done by a teenager with a cheap camera. The results are simply STUNNING. The film is a real eye-opener and contains the best footage I have ever seen about our idiots in Ottawa.
Best Songs & Films of the Decade
Jan 1st
OK so before I get started with this I want you to know that the following are only my personal favorite and not the best of the Oscars or MTV Awards. This is purely based on how I feel (and how I felt) when I hear these songs and see these flicks and what they mean to me. And, of course, it is extremely difficult to compress 10 years in a top 10! I also believe that the last 10 years have brought us the best movies ever. I also have discovered some incredible bands and performers. So here we go…
My Top 10 Songs of the Decade:
10- Carbon (Tori Amos)
09- Roll it up (The Crystal Method)
08- Beautiful Burnout (Underworld)
07- Breaking the Habit (Linkin Park)
06- Comfortable Liar (Chevelle)
05- Crush (Paul Van Dyk)
04- All I Need (Radiohead)
03- Falling Slowly (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)
02- Yellow (Coldplay)
01- Avalanche (Matthew Good)
My Top 10 Movies of the Decade:
10- District 9
09- King of Kong
08- The Bourne Identity
07- Gladiator
06- Idiocracy
05- Signs
04- Wall-E
03- Zeitgeist Addendum
02- Cast Away
01- Lords of the Ring Trilogy
Obviously, there are so many others that I would need to create a Top 100 and still compress twenty more songs and movies inside a top 10 because that is how much good stuff there is, it’s just crazy! Still, the above songs and movies certainly deserve to be there, for me anyway. So cheers & Happy Holidays!
