Movie Review-Drillbit Taylor

The critics were way too harsh on this one. After reading several negative reviews on rottentomatoes, I was a bit unsure about spending $6 to go see Drillbit Taylor. After seeing it, I'm glad I did.

Sure enough, some parts of the movie could have been better. The bullies were incredibly cruel, and didn't really seem to fit into a high school environment. The ending was a bit cliche. But all in all, Drillbit Taylor is actually a pretty decent film.

The acting is enjoyable, and the characters are very funny (although part of that has to do with the similarities with some of my friends; that made it even funnier to me). It's very interesting to see how the main characters change over time--they pretty much all change in one way or another.

So, next time you're looking to go see a movie, consider Drillbit Taylor--the critics may have had a field day with it, but for the average person, it's worth the money you'll be spending to see it.

Additional info: Rated PG-13 (for language, strong bullying, sexual-references, and partial nudity) Running Time: 102 minutes

Waffle Week

Well, I may be off a day (Waffle Day was yesterday), but that doesn't mean I can't still celebrate. So, I hereby declare this week Waffle Week. Go on, make yourself some waffles. You know you want to.

Random Ramblings: the weather

Well this Spring weather sure is interesting. Especially in Ohio. Two weeks ago we had a foot of snow outside, and now its sunny and in the mid to upper 40s. Oh. And windy. Like rip-bushes-from-the-ground windy--seriously, i saw a tumbleweed today, in OHIO. Our weather is so weird.

So, readers--what kind of weather are you having? Comment!

Def Leppard lives on-New single, "Nine Lives"

Def Leppard released a new single today, off their upcoming album "Songs from the Sparkle Lounge," titled Nine Lives. It's about time. The band has released no new material since the 2002 album "X." On the other hand, they have been touring quite a bit, and if you've seen them in concert you know that they put on a great show.

"Nine Lives" is a pretty good song, although it resembles pop rock much like the track "Slang" from 1996. I"m glad to say though that after all these years, Def Leppard still has what it takes to keep on rockin.

This week in...movies

Wii officially a "Rock Band" groupie

It's official: on June 22, Rock Band will make its debut on the Nintendo Wii. Finally, those of us who are sick and tired of Sony and don't like 1st-person shooters enough to buy a 360 can rock out with our friend on drums, vocals, bass or guitar. It's about freaking time.

The game will have 63 total songs, including 5 bonus tracks, but unfortunately, downloadable content isn't planned at this time--Harmonix wants Nintendo to up their online service before any such content is even to be considered. In other words: we're flat out of luck.

In any case, this is great news for all of us Wii gamers, as this is a great game and will definitely provide hours of entertainment. And who knows; maybe by June 22, Nintendo will actually have online gaming figured out...nah.

This is it. After months of me talking about it, I've finally gotten off my butt (actually, I'm sitting down), and started a blog. Of course, now the real dilemma begins: daily updates, getting ads, etc. But it shall be done! Most likely.

Anyway, as for content, "You want blog with that?" will have a variety of topics, ranging anywhere from what books and music I'm currently into all the way to what's going on in the world. Not everything of course, just some of the more "major" events that I may be following, or some cool stuff I've come across on other sites.
