30 ON 30

Today is my 30th birthday. It's kind of surreal hitting the big 3-0.

Not sure what I'll be seeing this weekend...maybe Dinner for Schmucks...maybe Despicable Me...maybe something else...we'll have to see what happens...

Nothing from Netflix @ the moment -- my next disc is shipping today (not sure what's coming up next...) Watched Spanglish earlier this week. It's not great, but it's not terrible...I do like Sandler when he's not being a total ass-clown (his work in Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me was exceptional).

Last weekend I saw two of the best movies of the year -- Cyrus and The Kids are All Right. I'll have some comments for both of them coming up soon.

Happy 30th, Nick!

I thought "Spanglish" was pretty terrific, myself.

I'm seeing "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" (just out of curiosity, since I hated the first one), followed by the Zac Efron weeper "Charlie St. Cloud" today.

I didn't get to "The Kids Are All Right" as planned on Wednesday, but I'll probably catch it tomorrow.

no schmucks?

ALMOST saw it, but my mom went for "Charlie St. Cloud" instead. Probably Sunday for "Dinner for Schmucks," which looks hysterical.

Oh and "Cats & Dogs" is the surprise of the year. Sort of like "G-Force," if not quite as good as that one.

Joel -- I will have to take your word on Cats & Dogs 2. I did see (and slightly enjoy) the first one but this one looks rather weak...but...I did like G-Force...

Didn't make it to the theater, but I did see Valhalla Rising via On-Demand. UTTERLY FUCKING AMAZING. I am obsessed with Nicholas Winding Refn at the moment. I need to get the Pusher trilogy immediately.
