Time to get shit done (in a few weeks)

So I once again have that urge to do something and I plan to actually do something. The the present moment I am not sure what this thing is. I'm thinking of beginning to do a podcast. There are ideas for podcasts with my friends that I would like to get started. Then maybe do one alone. I also want to start a webcomic, which I know I have been talking about for a while. I'm also going to start doing more creative stuff. Who knows what. To be honest this blog is shit, but it's a start and a start is something.

#3 50/50 (2011)

So i have already started slacking with this, but my excuse is I have just started a new job and don't seem to have any free time.

so anyway I watched 50/50 Staring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. Written by and based on Will Reiser's fight with cancer I really don't want to go into it too much with out giving away anything.

I'll just say that it was funny and heart felt. You cared for these people and you wanted things to be well. There are few predictable parts that you can almost see coming from a mile away, but I really didn't mind that and in fact I enjoyed these parts.

overall it was a very solid film and I highly recommend it to most people. Don't be put off if you don't like Seth Rogen comedy films because this one is better then any of them and is just a good film.

#2 A History of Violence (2005)

So last night I watched film number 2 "A History of Violence" Directed by David Cronenberg and staring Viggo Mortensen the film wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be. Not that that is a bad thing.

In a nut shell the film is about a case of what we believe is mistaken identity and intimidation. Viggo stars as Tom Stall an average guy with a wife and two kids. He becomes a local hero when he defends the dinner he works at. Only for Ed Harris to believe him to be somebody else and come looking for him. The film builds the suspense up well and even at times when i felt the plot had come to an end they chose to have something else happen and once again build up the suspense.

this is a short review as i'm busy and i need to get on with watching todays film

overall I enjoyed A history of Violence. I did feel like it could have ended slightly earlier then it did, or at least drag parts of the story out. But the acting was all top notch and I recommend anybody who likes Cronenberg or slow place "thrillers?" to give it a try
