  Well,  I haven't been updating as much as I would like.  I've got movies,  music,  and a trip to review.  Since there's a lot of stuff to cover,
 let's get right down to it.  MOVIES Matchstick Men A great movie.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  The only that I can remember that I didn't like was the ending.  Starting with him in the carpet store.  I can't really say what I didn't like about it.
 There was just a different feel to it.  Sorry I can't elaborate.  Peter Pan Wow.  I had heard wonderful things about this movie,  and they were true.  I liked the fact that there wasn't any big actors.
 Just a bunch of unknowns.  It was kinda cool.  As far as I remember,  it wasn't cheesy at all.  Even the special effects were well done.  I also liked the use of color throughout the movie.
 Go see it.  Van Helsing I wasn't super keen on seeing this,  but my dad was,  so we went.  Actually,  it wasn't that bad.
 Of course,  if you're not into the out- there fiction,  you wouldn't like it.  I didn't mind it,  though.
 There wasn't really that much cheesy stuff that bothered me.  One thing that there was a lot of was the I- know- it's- coming- but-
I- don't- know- when scenes.  Like when it's really quiet and he's walking down a hall,  and you know something's coming,
 but it still gets you.  There was at least 9 of these.  It kept me on my toes,  though,  so it wasn't horrible.  I probably wouldn't see it again any time soon,
 but overall it was a halfway decent film.  Shawshank Redemption I know I'm way behind the times on this one,  but as I can't watch R rated movies,  I haven't seen it until tonight when it was on the telly.  I really liked it.  I loved the emotion that was intertwined throught it.
 I really grew to hate Mr.  Warden,  and really hoped that Dufresne would get the justice due him.  I haven't done much filming,  so I can't comment on the cinematography,  but I liked the feel the movie had.
 There were several extra cool shots.  The whole movie reminded me of " Escape from Alcatraz"  and " The Great Escape"  both of which I loved.
 There were some great scenes where the music was just right.  The ending was wonderful.  This is another go- see.  MUSIC Some bands and songs that have found themselves being played quite often on my iTunes.  Air Surfing on a Rocket Mike Mills Snow Patrol Chocolate Run The Trash Can Sinatras How Can I Apply Ben Folds Annie Waits Zak and Sara Electric Light Orchestra Evil Woman Shine a Little Love Telephone Line Don't Bring Me Down Showdown Grandaddy Now It's On Lost on Yer Merry Way Jet Look What You've Done The Jayhawks Blue Keane Everybody's Changing Bend &
 Break Snowed Under The Postal Service This Place is a Prison Sondre Lerche Days That Are Over The Stills Gender Bombs The Strokes The End Has No End I Can't Win TRIP I had an orthodontist appointment on Tuesday,  so me and my dad headed to Milwaukee.  Our first stop was at the Milwaukee Museum to view the IMAX documentary of Everest.  Little did we know,  until we entered the theater,  that it was a dome IMAX.
 The screen was all over.  Being as how the movie was going to have high- altitude shots,  we were both a bit worried.  The way the seats are set up,  there's no heads of the people in front of you in the way.
 So it's just you and that giant screen.  We decided to tough it out.  But then the previews started.  Wow.  I didn't think I would make it.  Not all heights bother me,
 but there was a load of shots that made me feel like I was going to fall out of my seat.  It's a very realistic experience.  There was a bit of eye- closing going on for those first few minutes.  Once the movie got started and the camera was moving slower,  it wasn't too bad.
 Once you get used to it,  it's not really that huge of a deal.  It was a pretty interesting documentary.  After that we headed to a place called Real Chili.  We had seen it on the Food Channel several months back in a list of the Top 10 Dives in the U. S.
 It was a trip.  The room is set up so that everything is open and everyone looks at each other.  There's no booths or anything.  It's a big square U- shaped counter facing inward,  where the food is located.
 You can have your chili plain,  or with spaghetti noodles.  Feeling daring,  we both took the noodles.  It wasn't bad.  Nothing all that outstanding,
 but nothing wrong with it either.  Our waitress was another story.  She was freaky.  She looked weird and just had a different mannerism about her.  It was definitely an experience.  We both agreed that we probably wouldn't go back.
 Besides being eerie,  it was actually quite expensive.  It's worth going once I guess,  but doesn't warrant a return trip by any means.  I'll try to be better from now on with updating.
