Not much has happened since the last post. The hair is short once again, Valentine's day has come and gone, the little groundhog saw his shadow calling for 6 weeks of winter weather. (Although it is going to be 65 degrees today).

So...what's been going on??? Mostly racing cars, selling crap on Ebay and watching some movies.

The past three nights have left me with three movies to ponder. Let's see...Saturday night was Yojimbo. It's a little wierd, definately original and I guess it's a classic. It's a Samurai story written by this famous Japanese guy Akira Kurosawa. It's a story about a broke, hungry Samurai who no longer has an empire to serve. He wanders into a small town that has been corrupted by gambling, silk and whores and plays people against each other to scrounge up some food and money. There's a little more to it than that, but the Samurai Sanjuro Kuwabatake is pretty bad ass and basically ends up killing all of the bad dudes in the end.



Sunday Night was Stepford wives.



First thing I have to say is that this movie reminded me a little bit of Beetlejuice. It was kind of surreal, you could almost believe what was hapening, until someone woke your ass up, bitch slapped you and said "are you crazy, this couldn't happen"

The second thing I have to say about this movie is...Some people could be offended by the thought that there are men out there who want their wives to serve their every desire...I'm not touching that one with a 10 foot pole.

Last night Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow



Pretty cool, kind of corny, big robots, annoying reporter, stylized violence. It's worth a couple of bucks to rent if you don't have anything better to do. Angelina Jolie's character was cool, Dex was cool, Jude Law was okay, Polly Parker was an annoying PITA.
