Are you ready for some football?!!!!!!!
I'm a Chargers fan, and after seeing this video, I'm thinking about changing my mind!
I'm not so sure it's better than their song they released in the '70's!
Careful, you'll be humming this all day!

"Quotables"
Here's one of my favourite films and easily one fo the most quotable...
(and this is only the 3 minute trailer!)
You'll have to watch the movie again to find my favourite:
"Who, that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy"

Better late than never
I found these two clips some time ago, and forgot to post them until now. While they aren't quite as topicle, they are damn funny!
If you've never seen or heard Kevin Smith (The Director of Zack and Miri make a Porno/ Clerks) talking about movies (well, about anything really), he's damn interesting, honest and funny. Here he is a Comic Con talking about Twilight:
I don't know what the hell they're saying, but this news clip from China cracks me up!

Up in the Air!
I read a lot of books that have been adapted into movies. More often than not, the books are far superior. There is simply too much information in a book that can't be portrayed on screen in a reasonable time.
Generally they (Directors) take a great book (Often too grand in scale to literally adapt in full), take a single storyline, copy a few of the best moments and make a decent adaptation (Catch 22, Wonder Boys), sometimes they take a good book (Generally having a much more simple narrative to a Great book) and are able to stay closely to the entire narrative, enhance the best parts that I mix the two together (Fight Club, The Road). Sometimes it's a bad book made into a bad movie (DaVinci Code - Sorry Dan Brown fans). More often than not, they simply take any book (Good or Great) and fuck it up (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Stardust)
Then there are the bad books (although they may have redeeming qualities), where the true skill of a great director comes into place. Up in the Air is a perfect example of this.
I won't review the book, but know that while it had some of the same themes as the movie, that fact that Jason Reitman turned it into a great movie is an amazing achievement!
Now, my point is that I read this book before watching the movie, and was expecting a light film about a man who spends most of his life on the road and is within arms reach of his one million frequent flier miles, and what it all means to him. What I got was so much more!
A film about a guy who flies around for more than three quarters of his life, who's most real human connections was firing people could be, at the very least, an extremely depressing film. I imagined the laughs to be about (to quote Fight Club) "Single Serving Friends", and the firings to be about people freaking out and breaking things (haha).
Instead, the traveling man (George Clooney) is logical and content with his life, the firings (actually recently fired people) are touching.
I don't want to give any of the film away, but I will say that, like many good books, Jason Reitman has made a touching, funny and moving film that has well rounded and complete characters that are real and a story and narrative that is unusual, surprising and fun. Go See this movie (and root for it during the Academy Awards where it should be recognized!)
BTW, The Director also did this with another average book (Thank You for Smoking), so I shouldn't have been surprised!

Welcome back!!!
To start off the new year, I'll put up a list of my favourite films of the last decade (in no particular order):
1. The Dark Night - The Best Comic book film in a decade that was full of them (X-Men, Spiderman, The Watchmen)
2. Children of Men - In my opinion, the best movie of the decade. Every detail and shot, every word of dialogue, the acting and music make this a masterpiece
3. City of God - So much better than the MANY other 'gritty street' movies out there
4. Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind - My favourite move. Brilliant.... Everytime I watch this, I notice something else about how the director visualized memories... no other director could have pulled this off
5. Almost Famous - I could just listen to this film for both the music and dialogue
6. High Fidelity - John Cusack is a god (and welcome Jack Black!)
7. The Fall - See my review a couple of weeks ago
8. Lord of the Rings trilogy - Didn't let me down
9. Memento - Brilliant. Watch the movie when the chapters are in order and you can really appreciate the brilliance of the editing
10. Old Boy - not enough people have watched this. One of the great movies of all time
11. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - When the first fight seen was finished, it was one of the few times I have wanted to stand up and cheer in the middle of a movie!
12. Best in Show - Easily the most watched movie in my collection, and I laugh every time I see it
13. Unbreakable - Every scene is shot like a page from a comic book, they constantly tell you that he is a superhero, and yet, the end is still a surprise... amazing film
14. Kung Fu Hustle - funny, fun and kick ass! Can't ask for more!
15. Brokeback Mountain - The acting puts this on the list.
16. Into the Wild - the scenery, music and acting draws you in and makes you feel every aspect of the characters journey
17. The Departed - Complicated enough to be interesting and characters to make it cool. Based on the Hong Kong film/ trilogy Infernal Affairs
18. Across the Universe - to put this movie together based on The Beatles catalogue of music is shear brilliance
19. Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner) - see my review from a few weekes ago
20. Shaun of the Dead - started a new Genre, Zom-Com )and introduced america to some of the best british comedians out there
21. The Hangover - I walked out of the theatre with tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard
22. Tigerland - gritty and realistic, a new take on a part of the Vietnam war, and welcomed in Colin Farrell
23. Training Day - Made bad guys cool, and Crime dramas about more than CSI and the lawyers
24. Super Troopers - One of the funniest movies of all time
25. Idiocracy - A future where darwinism has gone awry, and people have bred themselves stupid... HILARIOUS! And please note, they are all wearing crocs!
26. Bad Santa - The only true must-see Christmas movie!
