definitely, maybe





I enjoyed this FAR more than I expected - and wow, love is complicated.
add this to your Netflix queue folks - unless you use Blockbuster Online. You would then add it to your Blockbuster Online queue. haha..ha...

kudos to Ryan Reynolds for finally allowing me to get rid of Van Wilder in my head whenever I see him, and a much expected bravo to Abigail Breslin for another surprisingly (just plain fun to watch) perfromance.

Clint Mansell (Requiem for a Dream) takes the score in a completely different direction from his previous works - does it work? definitely, yes. I would have loved to have posted it here to share with you all, but the internets has failed me. maybe you'll have better luck?

let me know!

the 2nd generation iPod touch got a decent upgrade (more on the inside than out) but a necessary revolution.


I'm more satisfied that the nano has returned to it's vertically dominated form - much better. kudos to Apple for falling back on the old design and making it even better. they sure look mighty fine.

now hurry out with the new macbooks / macbook pros please.
