Juno - fantastic, loved everything about this movie, extremely well written , great characters, hysterically funny, and a solid, engaging story. It hits on all points. Ellen Page (Juno)blew my mind.
Kite Runner - Usually book adaptations suck, and this one did not, about as good as they could have possibly done. Highly enjoyable....
Rescue Dawn - (not new, but came out earlier this year) - In a movie produced by Clipper Center - Elton Brand, this is a true story of a POW stuck in Laos and his incredible survival story. Christian Bale, again delivers, that guy can flat out get into a role.
and musically speaking....
three albums also came into view over the past few days (thank you itunes gift card) ....I chose wisely....they are all very good.
The new Band of Horses CD - "Cease to Begin" - brilliant, we featured Band of Horses a few months ago, and then I just slacked on buying the new album. Its all over many top albums of the year lists, and is well deserved to be. Don't you love when a band follows up their debut and delivers as they should (even surprises), yea me too
The Harlem Experiment - very cool, all over the place a bit...but worth it. This is the third in a series from of experiments, Ropeadope. listen to tracks here
Oakley Hall - "I'll Follow You" - very likable, they call it psych country...I guess, its just good music, I dig the male and female lead vocals. This is an apt description: "Imagine if the Band were 21st century kids from Brooklyn" - David Fricke, Rolling Stone
and watch friend of WWCD, Adam Strum, melting faces in Philadelphia
