RANDOM- Movies I've been checkin

I love movies.  Sometimes more than music.  Sometimes more.  I can't think of life without them.  I watch a flick everyday.  These are a couple of my recent favorites.  I watched them a few times.

Here's a couple of movies you probably didn't know about and need to watch today.  I stumbled upon Harmony and Me thru a Netflix suggestion.  I heard of Brick from one of my customers.  The two are very different and equally creative and awesome.

Harmony and Me is a break-up movie with tons of subtle, awkward humor.  It stars Justin Rice who is actually the lead singer in a band called Bishop Allen from the Austin area.  I did a little research and found out the whole crew of people in this flick are from Austin.  Bob Byington is the writer/director.  He also plays the older brother.......Hilarious.  The movie also has an appearance from Bob Schneider, another singer/songwriter from the same town.  Look out for the wedding scene.  It was incredible to me.  simple, archaic, and funny.



Brick is a dialogue-driven, noir murder-mystery that plays out on a high school level.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the star of this one.  You saw him recently in Inception but he used to be the pipsqueak kid on 3rd Rock From the Sun.  Dude is serious.  I had to rewind a few scenes because i couldn't understand what the hell they were talking about.  Crazy dialogue.  Written and directed by a scarcely heard, Rian Johnson.   This movie slapped me in the face a bit.

Taxidriver, BlackOut IPA and an Arcade Stick

Taxidriver is celebrating it's 35th Anniversary and for that, they re-released the flick in theaters for 2 days. I got to check this early-Scorcese masterpiece with a gang of hooligans ranging from film-aficianados to just-killing-time viewers. It was a dope experience for all. I kind of viewed this as a once-in-a-lifetime oppurtunity, so I been hypin it up for a week. It lived up to it.
this is the best pic i could snap all incognito and what not.......

After that, a couple of us headed to John Harvards and took down some tasty beverage. The blackout IPA is crazy good. Crazy strong too. I had to leave 1/2 of my 3rd pint on the table. DUI's are for suckers.



As if this isn't' a bomb weekend already, my wife and I slept in till about noon on Sunday and had a huge breakfast courtesy of Johnny Jacks. We walked it off down at Patriot Place where I found a Street Fighter 4 arcade stick for half-price. Random sale and I had a gift card. Word?
cipher complete. an incredible 2days and I still have Monday. (barber's weekend, goons)
