Cook/Cornell Controversy

I wish I had the technical skills to overlay the songs and prove my theory, but instead I'm going to write about it. Give "Long Gone" by Chris Cornell a listen. Does the music sound familiar? Now, listen to "Light On" by David Cook. Cook's preceded Cornell's. I smell a lawsuit...

more movies...

I've watched a few movies in the last week... thought I'd mention them. The Blind Side was great. I was holding out to watch it, thinking it was a typical Sandra Bullock over-dramatized tearjerker. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. There's just something about sports/underdog movies that pulls a few heartstrings. I don't know why, seeing as I'm not that big of a sports fan, haha.

talhotblonde was a great documentary on a story I remember from the news. I was reading the movie description and remembered the tale of cybersex, deception, and murder. The mix of actors/real footage/chat log really helped bring the story to life. I recommend it.

Flicka 2... did they really need to make a sequel to the first one? Stupid, the end.

I saw Precious when it first came out, now I'm waiting to have time to read the book to see how they compare. I really enjoyed the movie, especially the serious roles played by Monique and Mariah Carey. The story is just so heartbreaking, no one should experience the things Precious went through. Unfortunately, life isn't fair, and it sucks for some people. But I commend the writing/directing of this film.

And lastly, The Cove. I don't even want to go into how eye-opening and heartwrenching this documentary was. You have to see it for yourself, because every review and plot summary completely understates the truth. You will never view the aquatic entertainment business the same after seeing this film.
