Two Sentence Movie Review: The Wrestler
Great story with excellent performaces all around.
This movie could have been “The Bowler” and it would have been equally effective/enjoyable.
Mr. T is doing infomercials?!?!

Two Sentence Movie Review: Role Models
Even though the movie was completely formulaic, the pairing of Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott made for some very funny moments.
Don’t go in expecting Apatow level comedy.
Change.
Took in my first MLB game over the weekend
Yesterday, Sarah and I made our way downtown to Coors Field to watch the Rockies take on the San Francisco Giants. We had a blast and the Rockies dominated with a 4-0 win over the Giants. Here’s a photo I snapped during the 4th inning.
All packed up
Talk about foresight. This is an excerpt from a 1997 BBC documentary, How Buildings Learn. The whole program is on Google Video in six 30-minute parts: part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six.

An interesting take on the movie Hancock
From a review of Hancock by Kyle Smith:
Hancock is a guy whose symbol is the eagle. He’s the “only one of my kind,” a lone, lonely superpower. He’s unpolished, maybe even swinish. He does the right thing (in Winston Churchill’s words) only eventually. He whales on pissy little Frenchmen named Michel and his name, of course, is in a sense the name of the first American. (When else should his story be told but on the Fourth of July weekend?)
Hancock didn’t ask to be the most powerful force in the world, and after taking a lot of abuse about his methods he is having trouble coping with himself. You might say his personal sense of whether he’s headed in the wrong direction or right direction is at an all time low. He sleeps the days away on benches with a bottle of booze.
Apparently the original screenplay that Hancock is based on barely resembles the final product. I might have to take a look at it.
