Movie: District 9
Finally got to see one of the two movies I’ve been dying to see. The other being Inglorious Basterds, which I’ll get to next week. I, like most others, didn’t know squat of District 9 before it was out and heavily reviewed. As usual, I only take a look at Rotten Tomatoes scores, but try to steer clear of all actual reviews because I…

My Madden 10 Franchise
I thought of a fun [for me] update to do regularly!

Movie: Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams
Dreams is just that, a collection of dreams from one of the greatest writer/producers of all time. I can’t say it was all that entertaining, but it was truly awesome that he had the means to put his dreams (or nightmares) in to film for the whole world to see. It was neat to see others have such crazy thoughts racing through their heads…
