Alrighty. Hopefully this puts off the tagging for a while. Here are five things you may not know about me.

1. I collect things. Mainly media (DVD's and music) but also comics, toys and Wrist watches. I got my first watch (wind up analog) when I was 5 and currently own around 20 ranging from that very first watch to timex to Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. 95% are analog as I love the sound of a ticking clock.

2. I play the violin. Well kind of. I took lessons from when I was 13 up to 17 and got quite good. I normally only pick it up these days to tune it and play a little when no one else is around. The violin itself was handed down to me and is around 135 years old.

3. I never had a sick day from grades 7-12. I had been ill a couple of times but never enough to stay home or go home from school.

4. I don't drink apple juice. The acid in the juice had a reaction to my kidney's when I was 7 years old and I haven't touched it since. To this day, I can't stand the smell of it.

5. I had 6 wisdom teeth. All 6 were pulled at the same time... 2 weeks before I had my braces put on.

Lady in the Water - Another M. Night Shyamalan and this time with no twist. Don't bother, it wasn't all that exciting.

Rocky 4, 5 - Finally caught up. Still just one fight movie after another. I didn't like the street fight scene in 5. Watching number six very soon. Still a must see set.

The Black Dahlia - Good but a little slow. I like the concept of the murders but in could have been a little more in depth and explored a few more areas. Rent it if your bored.

Huo Yuan Jia(Fearless) - Holy crap can Jet Li fight. See this movie not only for that but the great story of a great country that goes along with it.

"Robot Chicken" Season 2 - Am I the only one who knows about this show. I got a copy of season 1 on DVD finally and it is freakin amazing. Season 2 is even funnier. Not much gets better than watching all the toys I had in the 80's cracking funny jokes and beating on each other. Hahahahaha!

Snakes on a Plane - Finally saw this as well. What can I say, it is snakes... on a plane! Go rent it but don't buy it.

The Wicker Man - This one makes it to my top 5 of worst movies ever. Never ever watch this crap!

Good Night, and Good Luck. - Interesting story. Funny how it all came true to what Edward R. Murrow said about television. Definite rental.

Hostel - Worst "scary" movie ever. It wasn't at all scary, what was scary is how many times I looked at my watch and asked if it was over yet. Borrrrriiiinnnngggg!!!!!!! Even the "gore" they hyped about it wasn't good. Don't bother.

Bandits - Old but I thought I would post. It was on TV, I was bored, end of story. Worth seeing... on TV.

DOA: Dead or Alive - That's right another movie based on a video game except this one had some exceptional fighting in it. Purchase it for the women alone. Yowza! Uh I mean, nope that's what I meant.

Happy Feet - Good kids movie but not that impressed from all the reviews my friends had given me. Maybe I was expecting too much. Get it for the kids.

Blood Diamond - Amazing movie! Literally just finished watching it. Great story, great acting, this will have to be purchased when it is released to DVD.

Loads of time off for Christmas and new years made for two things. One, me being lazy and not posting. Two, a ton of time to watch a ton of movies. Lets get started...

The Man - Starring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy. The story of a vengeful overbearing cop (Jackson) and a nerdy salesmen (Levy) who's worlds collide when Levy is mistaken for a mob contact. Wow, I might be making this sound way better than it is. I had a couple of laughs but nothing worth bragging about. Don't bother with this one.

The Lake House - Starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock . A mysterious lake house connects these two who are able to instantly send letters to each other two years apart. Very good love story. I would definitely suggest this as a rental.

Jackass Number Two - Starring, well, all the guys from Jackass. I actually found number two to be a lot "better" than the first. Not much to describe here, if you have not seen Jackass well it's a bunch of guys that find ways to disgust each other, hurt themselves or one another and generally do stupid stuff. Not story, just funny.

The Holiday - Starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black. Story of two women (Diaz and Winslet) who have had enough of their part of the world and want to get away from their job and mostly the men in their lives so they exchange homes. Diaz goes to England, Winslet to California. Very entertaining, great movie, this is a must purchase. Check it out while it is still in the theater!

My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Starring Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson and Anna Faris. Thurman is well basically a ripoff of superwoman. Any way she dates Wilson, Wilson breaks it off . Thurman has her revenge as no "woman scorned" ever has, with super powers. Might be worth a rental for a few laughs but there aren't many.

Little Miss Sunshine - Super amazing cast, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano, Toni Collette, Steve Carell and several guest appearances. This was an absolutely, crazy funny film. I suggest this to anyone and everyone. It follows a family as they travel across the US to enter their daughter in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty contest. That is all you need to know as the movie is worth every penny. Go and buy it right now.

Well, these last 3 post (5 movies) I am sure I will be made fun of for finally seeing. That's right, up until a few weeks ago I had never seen any of these movies all the way through. Bits and pieces on TV but never sat through them myself. Alright, I am prepared for the whipping.

Blade Runner - I am sure everyone has seen this if not hit the link and check out the huge list of stars. Anyway, my first time seeing this I am not all that impressed. True Ridley Scott did paint a grand vision of the future but the story didn't really keep me going much at all. I did enjoy it but not enough to recommend it to anyone. I will be watching it again to try and see what all the hype is about.

Airplane! - That's right, first time I ever saw it. Funny as hell. I still have the second one sitting here to watch. This is a definite purchase when I can find it. Leslie Nielsen is one of the funniest Canadians... one question though, has he always had grey hair?

and finally,

Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky III . I figured since the sixth one just came out it was time to catch up. I enjoyed the first three and can't wait to see the next three in the series. Hopefully I can catch up before Rocky Balboa leaves the theaters.

That's it for movies for now. I spent most of my holidays out in Victoria, BC, Canada and took a ton of amazing photo's. I will try and put a couple up this week.
