Go cat Go

Any move with Al Pacino is alright with me. He's one of the few actors who plays the exact same character in every movie (except scent of a woman) and yet it has only helped his career.

This movie is no different, Al Pacino playing the old crook (president of a sports advice network, or better known as a gambling bookie) who seems to lack many fundamental morals, making money off the backs of the poor. McConaughey plays an ex-football star (blew out his knee) who knows how to pick winners.

Although the movie lacks any real climax, not to mention that it pretty much ignores all they negative affects of gambling, i.e. lives get ruined.

So the moral, it wasn't a complete waste of time. and it kind of made me want to start gambling.

One day Skoch, Chris and Brent went on a little trip in order to catch the comeback kid concert. Unfortunatly we got 10 people from the front of the line and it became sold out. So we walked for an hour, then we jumped on the first bus that we saw. it took us somewhere. then we jumped on another bus, and ended up at a movie theater. Hence how i came to see the piece of crap which is syriana.

The movie, as far as i can tell, is about how big the oil industry is, how much power it has in the world. Although i love movies with multiple characters who vaguely connect (think traffic or crash), this movie had no progression. I mean, the acting was ok, the cinematography was ok (which was a shame because the movie should have achieved greatness in that category, since it is one of the few movies that has actually shots of the middle east).
The last 20 minutes is the only time when the movie actually picks up, buts its far too little too late. At least you get to see george clooney in a slightly graphic torture scene.

And that is how i got my 86th movie stub.

Broadcast me a joyful noise until the time, oh lord

So i am the proud owner of a 2.68 GPA which is .5 higher then last year. so i think that thats pretty special.

So i'm back in calgary. I like edmonton better. probably because the oilers are there. even if hey don't do as well as calgary, edmonton fans a bigger a-holes.

I saw hostile.
Don't see that movie.
Unless your into nudity, then just walk out after the first hour and you'll be fine.
And if you hate nudity but love gore? show up half way into it.
It was odd, Hostile was split perfectly in half, between a teen sex comedy and un chien andalou (movie written by salvador dali in 1928, for all those uneducated people).

So i'm never gonna back pack through eastern europe. and if do i'm gonna kill myslef half way through the trip.
