*Cinema -- Charlie Wilson's War

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

• Much much better than I was expecting.
  

  
  
  




• Tom Hanks was brilliant.
  
  

  
  
  




• Tom Hanks looked much better than Julia Roberts.
  

  
  
  




• Phillip Seymour Hoffman had some fantastic lines.
  
  

  
  
  




• Completely entertaining and worthwhile.
  

  
  
  




• Enjoyed Amy Adams, makes me want to see Enchanted even more.
  
  

  
  
  




• Seemed like such a balanced politician, which was refreshing.
  

  
  
  




• Well written, acted, timed, and directed.
  
  

  
  
  




• Watching Julia Roberts separate her lashes with a giant safety pin was scarier than anything in No Country for Old Men.
  

  
  
  




• Impressive.
  
  

  
  
  

*Cinema -- No Country for Old Men

No Country for Old Men (2007)

• All in all a great movie.





• I spent the whole movie going “its the guy who played two guys in Deadwood!”.




• Its fair to say this entire movie is based on how incredibly creepy Javier Bardem can be.





• Long, but kept my attention.




• The whole no-music thing worked rather well.




• I don’t know if I’ll ever know the point of it all, but I guess thats ok.





• Although it puzzled me at first, I really appreciated the whole many tried, but all failed to be heros thing.

*Cinema -- Juno

Juno (2007)

• Pretty much as great as you've heard.
  

  
  
  




• Rainn Wilson might have the smallest cameo ever, but its still the best cameo ever.
  
  

  
  
  




• Cute but does have less-cute elements, which was refreshing.
  

  
  
  




• All I can think of when I see J.K. Simmons is Law and Order, where he used to play a psychologist.
  
  

  
  
  




• I'm not sure how someone like Jennifer Garner's character can be such a poor wife yet a great mother, but its probably possible.
  

  
  
  




• Gonna go out on a limb and say that Jason Bateman's character was both a poor husband and probably a poor father, even if he was charming at the same time.
  

  
  
  




• At times it felt like bits might be missing, like it went through time a little too fast. I didn't even go to the bathroom during the movie, so I know I didn't miss a thing.
  
  

  
  
  




• Paulie Bleeker is an awesome name for a non-jock teenage kid. Especially when played by Michael Cera.
  

  
  
  




• Loved Ellen Page and Michael Cera together.
  

  
  
  

In With the New

Happy New Year!

Soo things have been happening. Such as…

• I got a job.




• I’m getting an apartment in Manhattan.





• I start my job and living in the apartment in around two weeks.

So plus the holidays, things have been a little hectic. So exciting though!

I guess I haven’t written much about it because I don’t want to jinx anything. Long story short, I might be the first person to find a job from a tweet. I had just started to look around for a position when I posted this tweet, not expecting anything to come out of it. I was hired two weeks later. I’m super excited to start and its really amazing how things work out sometimes. I still don’t want to say too much because I haven’t actually started yet. However I will say my official position is (Mac) System Administrator of a pretty awesome software and gaming company. Wooooo!

I haven’t even had the chance to mention the fantastic presents I got for Christmas! Namely a new TV from my mom and a TiVo HD from Matty! Yay! Hopefully the cable guy will show up at the apartment tomorrow and actually manage to install the cable so I can use them. I don’t think I would be able to live without cable and TiVo. I <3 my TiVo.

I am also pretty excited to see what comes out of Macworld. Particularly in the ‘sub-notebook’ department. Although I am hoping its not really a sub-notebook but really a reinvention of the 12” PowerBook (perhaps a 13.3” MacBook Pro). I suppose its also worth mentioning that the company I’ll be working for will be at MacWorld, however I won’t be there this year since I haven’t even started working yet. :( Hopefully I might be able to go to the next WWDC, though!
