I wants me some new Star Trek with Sylar from Heroes!

Go watch Trailer 2….now! I recommend the HD version and a subwoofer.

We watched the movie Disturbia tonight, and I have to say, it was pretty darned entertaining. It was suspenseful, Shia LeBouf isn’t too bad an actor, and it’s got the annoying cop from House.

There’s a scene in a hardware store, and it’s All-American. I recognized their signs and the layout. Way cool. I highly recommend it for the Netflix inclined.

I feel like posting, but I’ve used up my allotment of words for the day. I think that was around third period actually. Regardless, I will think of something.

Peaches. Millions of peaches. Peaches for me.
No, scratch that.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is in “trouble” for firing 8 or something district attorneys, and Democrats are having a field day. It wasn’t a big deal when Janet Reno fired ALL 93 when Clinton took office. They serve at the pleasure of the President. There’s nothing illegal about getting rid of them. See, elections do matter!

No, scratch that. Nobody comments on my political posts, as evidenced by “Blarg Stats.” According to that, teaching and television garner the greatest amount of responses. Let’s give that a go.

Have you seen that new TV show about TEACHING. Oh man, the comments are going to roll in now! I’ll try them separate now.

Teaching is going well. State testing is coming up. I might have time to chew through some more of the Dark Tower series. I’m stuck on book 5. Oops, that’s about books, not teaching. I cut up a soda can today to explain that the lateral side of a cylinder is a rectangle. It was cool!

Oh look, this paragraph is about television. Heroes resumed last night. WOW. Oh, and last week’s survivor was downright awesome. It was possibly the greatest episode ever. Trent knows what I’m talking about.

I cleaned the laptop yesterday because it was really gross looking. The I key on the laptop is completely without the letter I. The letters O, L, N, S, and E are also rubbing off. Good thing I know how to touch type. I guess I should stop going around typing “E LIONS” all the time. That’s all I could spell using those letters.

The only movie I’m super excited about right now is TRANSFORMERS. Holy cow that looks sweet.

Super cool band called All Time Low.

THE END

Saw a trailer for this new movie called 300, and it looks pretty sweet. Says it’s based off a graphic novel, which I might have to check out. Take a look at a trailer or two. I love the art direction, it actually looks like a graphic novel.

I’m not big into artsy fartsy movies or analyzing the cinematography and all that mumbo jumbo. I do however love watching movies, so I will tell you how I liked this movie.

This movie is a riot. You’ve got a whole bunch of dysfunctional characters riding around in a broken down VW Bus, and much hilarity ensues. I mainly wanted to see this movie because Steve Carell is great in The Office, but the entire cast of the movie was great. Overall it’s a pretty feel good story with some twists and turns. There were maybe 40-50 people in the theatre at most, and the movie had most of us laughing at some point.

Opens in wide release on Friday. It has some great reviews at Rotten Tomatoes. Check out the trailer to see if this is a movie for you! I highly recommend Little Miss Sunshine.

In case you haven’t heard, there is a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on the way! I haven’t read much, but it appears to be completely computer animated and with a very classic look. Computer animated might just be the ticket to a great movie. The original three were a little hokey because people dressed up in bulky turtle costumes don’t come across as very ninja-like.

It comes out in March, and this is one piece of childhood nostalgia that I will be watching closely.

Last night I had the pleasure of not only seeing my brother graduate (which need it’s own post), but we celebrated by seeing X-Men 3 afterwards. Here is my spoiler free review.

Being the third movie in a trilogy(?), The Last Stand can’t help but be compared to the previous two films. I don’t know if it was the script or change in directors, but the new movie doesn’t live up to the quality of the first two films. The special effects are well done and the acting is fine, but the storyline is very A.D.D. Many new characters are introduced, and the film attempts to give them all a little face time, but you never learn enough about any of them. I found myself not even being sure of their names even at the end of the movie. I chalk this up to the script having waaay too much story to cover.

Don’t get me wrong, X-Men 3 is still worth the price of admission, but I think it’s the weakest of the three.
