Movie Review: Match Point R-4 Strings
a solid showing, finally, from woody allen...though i am tired of his ironic use of 20s era big band. lots to like here, plenty of back-handed narrative, and an earnest effort to avoid the mainstream. long movie, but worth the rent.
at this point id like introduce the newest inductee into my now three person list: scarlett johansson. scarlett, i will extend to you the same offer that i extended to keira knightly and claire danes: feel free to call my pager (im retro that way) at 559-265-9922 or email me at duhliterate@gmail.com and perhaps we can have some tea.

Movie Review: Derailed R-3 Strings
ive got to tell you, this is the first movie of anniston's where she didnt play a friends, NOR did she play the socially disaffected loser-hot-chick-loser. i was impressed. though there is some wickedly poor dialogue, there are some decent plot twists. if your wife shows up with this one, go ahead and watch it...otherwise, just wait for it to show up on the 'usa' network.
Movie Review: Live Freaky, Die Freaky UR-3 Strings
a movie so offensive and wrong, i felt like i needed to take a shower after watching it. sure it was feaux-edgy and claymation silly, but it DID get me to google charles manson and look into some of californias more disturbing history (gerald ford--2 assassination attempts), as well as his own depressing biography (his mother, reportedly, traded him for a pitcher of beer). not for the faint of heart.

Pearl Jam: San Francisco Night 3
what a day. 12 hours sitting on the sidewalk, getting to know 'the mayor of pearl jam' (alan/cosmo). though i didnt take this pic (i didnt want to get stopped at the door w/ my palm pilot), i was right behind the girl who did take it...seriously. notice the arrow pointing to a something or other in what appears to be (more or less) vedders back pocket--squint, you might see it. it is a 1989 who tour shirt that jen threw to him. 12 hours sitting down, and jen gets to throw a shirt...totally worth it.
Pearl Jam: Los Angeles Night 2
much closer tonight. rodney bingenheimer (rodney on the rock/mayor of sunset strip) introduced the band. tim robbins came out for another song...good for him. interesting story. some guy sits behind us, and jen (and our neighbors) said that it was the boyfriend in the show 'blossom'. i never watched that poo, so i wouldnt know, but 3 different people said it was him. jen didnt get around to asking if it was him or not. good times. rent 'the mayor of sunset strip'.

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest PG13-5 Strings
come on. this is the classic imperfect big budget film with lots of noise and energy. this film is the reason why people fell in love with films in the first place. a true silver-screen classic. i could use a bit more of the up-heaved keira knightly cleavage, but thats just me. much love. boo-ya-kasha!
