Movies, Games & Music

My mother and I saw 1408 last night. It was really good. It was very tense, and shot very claustrophobically. Most of the movie is just John Cusack in a hotel room. There's a little bit before to set up what's going on with the room, and an ending that I thought was a little weak.

Lots of good, jumpy moments. No unnecessary gore like the Saw or Hostel movies, just good nervous tension.

I'm looking forward to the Transformers next week. Even if it's not true to the source, I'm not SUPER familiar with the history anyway. I just liked the toys, so seeing giant robots will be cool.

As far as games go, right now I'm really into Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. Chris and Sean and I go on various missions to ensure the safety of our country several nights a week. I'm also still swinging around New York in Spider-Man 3 a lot.

The Freedom Festival is this weekend. I have no idea why this thing is still in existence, and wonder how many taxpayer dollars are sunk into this thing. I'll think about it over a funnel cake, if it's not too hot.

Also, this song has been stuck in my head all day:
