SIFF

The Seattle International Film Festival started last week and goes on till the 17th of June, so needlessly to say there are a bunch of movies that I want to see. Yesterday I saw Herzog's new Rescue Dawn, and today between jobs tried to go see Paris, Je T'Aime, which ended up being sold out. It's ok I guess because it comes out on Friday. Some other shows that I am going to try to attend are the US premiere of Day Watch, and Alien Autopsy, The Bet Collector, Black Sheep, Cthulhu, The Ferryman, Fido, Waiter, Eagle vs. Shark and anymore I have time for. If anyone one wants to look at the film list and give recomondations they would be welcome.

My basic review of Rescue Dawn is if you love Herzog you will enjoy it and if you don't you probably won't. It is to Herzog to be fully hollywood and yet to hollywood to be all Herzog. Watching it I think the guy just wanted to try his hand at making a big blockbusterish type movie. He didn't do a bad job it's just not what he was made to do. I would be surprised to see another film like this out of the master director. Overall I enjoyed it and would recomend it to you.
While watching it I couldn't help but think that Bale was his replacement for Kinski. No offense to Bale, but he just doesn't have the crazy raw insanity that Kinski brought to the screen.

I started a Bowling blog, because I can't stop talking about bowling. I figured that most people don't want to hear it, but if there's one entity that does, it's the Internet. So, instead of posting about bowling news/events here, I'll be doing it there. Definitely still in it's beginning stages, so I'll be adding more content soon. Maybe I'll even post there frequently...


Its actually just my old "other" blog just converted into a bowling journal of sorts. More for personal record, but feel free to look.

I started a beer blog, because I can't stop talking about beer. I figured that most people don't want to hear it, but if there's one entity that does, it's the Internet.
