The Swamp is Flodded with Elite Whiners... and so

I bring you some quick reviews of other random non Xbox topic stuff.

Movies:
Children of Men : New on DVD. Must watch movie.. Amazing work of art. A real movie watchers movie. Fantastic

The Return : DVD Kinda sucked..

Undisputed II : DVD Very Cool action flick, with a "heart" I guess. Must watch for action(fighting) movie fans.

Casino Royale : Newish on DVD. I "blah" Bond movies with a passion. The are much too dry and typical male driven fantasy B.S. for me to enjoy. This Movie is Bond becoming Bond, and being very ruff around the edges. I loved it.

The Black Dahlia: DVD Most people will hate this movie. I will leave it at that, because I am odd like that.

The Illusionist DVD : I really wanted to see this movie for awhile. Kinda dissapointed. Good movie, just not fantastic. The story was a little too Romeo and Juliet, with Romeo as a Magician.

Music Reviews

Arcade Fire : Neon Bible Love this album. I honestly think it is better than the first. I can't pin point a favorite song. Thats a good thing. Soilid Full burner I keep playing over and over.

The Mars Volta : Amputechture Fantastic Album. Can be a tad absurdly psychadelic and wandering at times, and they pretty much once again tossed out any pop sensibilities making the tracks seem more like drawn out epic jam sessions. Only a real problem if you long for a sequal to Comatorium.

The Fratellis : Costello Music On the Verge of being a one hit wonder. Pretty much known for the song used in the ipod commerical. The rest of the album is decent, but everything sounds overly cleaned up. Like the entire album was built on pro tools. Very likely that it was. Sadly I like my music dirty and rough sounding.
