Shutter Island...not a horror film

I walked into Shutter Island thinking that it was going to be a horror film that made me jump and squirm in my seat.  To my dismay, it was more of a psychological thriller with a storyline that was disappointing, missing the big aha moment at the end.  It's not like I didn't enjoy the film,  I just wanted and expected more.  However, that seems to be my reaction to most Hollywood films in the past year. 

I would give this film 2 1/2 Apples.

My new guilty pleasure

I love this little video.  You can't help but laugh at the poor little boy.  Don't worry, it doesn't last forever : P

Sam and Kurt are back!

Some of you may remember Sam's version of "Down" by Jay Shane (If you have not seen this yet you must, it's under my later posts). Well, he's back with his producer Kurt after a little hiatus and have come back with an a capella version of "Fireflies" by Owl City. I personally am not a fan of that song but Sam's rendition is still AMAZING!

Enjoy!

I wish I had a Hot Tub Time Machine so that I could have gone to a differnt movie.

It had been ages since I've gone to a movie theater to see a movie and I was ready to laugh. I figured what better than seeing a "stupid comedy". I could just lay back relax and laugh at the mindless jokes and one-liners that accompany a light storyline. Well, I got what I wished for; only I was expecting more than one one-liner. There were more jokes that I cringed at than found humorous. This is defiantly a redbox saver.
