This weekend I decided to catch up on some movie watching that I have been wanting to do. I rented The Rundown and Timeline.

First off was The Rundown. It was suprisingly good. It was the first movie starring The Rock that I have seen. I think he is definitely turning into a great action star. I really liked it. Seann William Scott provided some very good comedic relief to the movie too. If you like fairly mindless action you will like this one for sure.

Next was Timeline. The only reason I wanted to see this one is because it was based on a Michael Crichton book (my favourite author for those who don't know). It turned out to be OK. There were definitely alot deviations from the book but the story still held together. I probably would have enjoyed it much more if I hadn't read the book. If you think you would like a movie about a time machine and a medieval war all rolled together you might like this one.

Thats it for now. I'm hoping to check out Kill Bill Vol 1 and Master and Commander this week sometime. I'll let you know how those turn out.

L8r.

So I went to check out the new Ben Affleck flick Paycheck tonight with Dawn. The movie was mildly entertaining but I just didn't get into it. Dawn and I were chatting about it afterwards and I couldn't really decide specifically why I disliked the movie. Besides the fact that Ben Affleck playing the a genius holds about as much water as a bucket made of tissue paper I just flat out didn't like the movie. The plot made me think that I should have liked the movie but I just didn't. I guess that will learn me for next time, Sci Fi + Pop Culture = Bad.

After the movie I went down to the Fireside to meet up with a couple of the guys, Larder and Kert, and hed a couple martinis. Definitely good times. How can you beat $4 martinis really? :)

That pretty much it for me tonight. Think I might catch some late night news and then some sleep.

Have a good one!
