DVD Update

Ok went out and bought a few more movies today, tell me what you guys think.

Terminator 2 : Judgement Day - I have been looking for the terminator movies and finally found this one. I hate to get movies out of order but I could not find the first one so oh well. Came in a hella cool box to so I'm happy.

Wild Things - I can honestly say that I have never seen this movie straight though so I'm excited to see it now.

Syriana - I usually know a little about a movie that I buy, but with Syriana with George Clooney I have no idea about it at all. Hope its good.

Shaun of the Dead - Never seen this as well but ppl rave about how funny it is so I could not pass it up.

Note: Tiffany bought 3 movies as well Brokeback Mountain (actually a really enjoyable movie), Swinfan, and You, Me & Dupree.

Another Note: Me and Tiffany are officially merging our DVD collection so I'm really excited about adding all hers to my collection. If you guys are interested I will add all her movies to a blog to show you my updated collection.

DVD Update.....Finally

Ok so sorry its been so long between posts, its been a combination of being so busy and also having nothing really to blog about.

So today I went and splurged a little and bought 8 dvds.

First off I bought
  • The Illusionist - Ed Norton and Jessica Biel. I've heard VERY good things about this movie so I'm excited to watch it. I bought the dvd and got home and the damn thing was not in the box so I had to go back to the store and they replaced it, then after I left I found a tear on the box.....which really, REALLY bugs me. Oh well.
  • Eastern Promises - Viggo Mortensen, Naomi Watts. This movie has sit in Blockbusters for a couple months begging me to buy it and I finally caved. Fingers crossed.
  • Vanishing Point - 5 dollar rack and wal-mart. I think it has a big car chase scene or something....? Dunno. Stepdad said it was ok so I got it.
  • Secondhand Lions - Never seen it but heard it was good. Not much else I know about it.
  • Disturbia - Really enjoyed this movie. I really like Shia Labeouf (sp?) as a young, rising actor.
  • The Backwoods - Gary Oldman. Stars the guy who is the police chief in the new Batman movies. Looked interesting.
  • Gone Baby Gone - Ben Affleck's directorial debut. Not a fan of Ben's at all but heard great things about this movie and have had my eye out for it for awhile.
  • Cloverfield - I was torn about buying this because I've heard alot of good things, but for some reason I get a few nagging people telling me it was not good. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it so I'm glad I got it.

Note: I know this is really late Sixty but I figured out something I hate in movies today. I hate the shooting in movies. It's so fake to see where actors are running and bullets are going everywhere but into the characters. I know you have to have some action but sometimes it really, really bugs me when bullets are spraying everywhere but where they are "supposed" to be going. Who knew that so many ppl where horrible shots?

First Baby Class

So me and Tiffany took our first baby class on Tuesday. I figured it was a La Mauze (sp?) class but it really was a introductory class to what to expect when we first hit the hospital when she goes into labor. So after some talking, some very medieval devices to help the birth along, and after seeing a 2 minute video of an actual birth, I was spent. September 4th is right around the corner and Damn I'm nervous.

It's been the last 7 months like we were playing house and buying things for a little baby, but lately it's really setting in that we will be bringing a little girl home so it's pretty scary.

Interesting note: Our small little town had a Ricin scare at a local prison and at the hospital. Ricin if you don't know is kinda like Anthrax but from what I have been told is in a paste form. But anyway someone sent an inmate that was no longer a inmate a letter with some of the Ricin laced in it and got 12 prisoners got really sick and the hospital where my dad works went on total lockdown. Pretty kick ass.

Guys I need some new music suggestions. Music is a key thing in my life and I need some new variety.

I listen to Tool, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Chevelle, Project 86, 12 Stones, Incubus, Stone Sour, Godsmack, Megadeth, Staind, The White Stripes, and for some reason I have been listening to alot more KoRn lately (Woot Sixty). So if you guys have suggestions let me know.
