First off for movies, we have The Dark Knight! The movie looks very good, and I plan to see it when it comes out. With all the action though, I think IMAX would give me a headache. Heath Ledger, as the Joker takes on the role perfectly from what I can see in the trailers. He portrays the psychopathic clown who usually isn’t as scary in the comics very creepily. I’m also glad to see the schizophrenic Two-Face in there as well. Spielberg added his own twist, which I like and am sure many other people will, too.

Next up is Indiana Jones, another Spielberg directed film. I saw this just a few days ago during a trip to Florida. Once again, Since this on is brand new, with new characters and such, and not slightly remade, there are some great, and some not so great new add-ons from Steven. The story is great, the cast is great, and Cate Blanchett as the villain, a Soviet agent, Irina Spalko is great. I’d recommend you see the film so you can see for yourself how good all the characters fit their roles, how great the story is, and how great of a movie it is in general!


My interests when it comes to music

It’s funny that I would happen to be writing this post while watching American Idol, but of course, I don’t really like American Idol. The only reason I’m watching it is because it’s the Season Finale. But trust me, I like music. …A lot. Some of the bands I like/love are:

Animal Collective

Aquabats

The Beatles

Beck

Cake

Electric Light Orchestra

Electric Six

The Flaming Lips

Flight of the Conchords

Gogol Bordello

Gorillaz

Greenday

Kimya Dawson

Led Zeppelin

Modest Mouse

Metronomy

Oingo Boingo

The Police

The Rolling Stones

Tay Zonday

The Velvet Underground

Violent Femmes

Vampire Weekend

The White Stripes

And that’s not all, thats just the artists I like that are in my iTunes library, and I don’t keep EVERYTHING I like in iTunes. All of these bands are very/pretty good, and I’d recommend you check some of them out.
