The Review (127 Hours)

My Background: I'm not really a huge mountaineer. In fact I wouldn't consider myself a mountaineer at all. I have spent some time out in the deserts of New Mexico, and in the canyons out there. As for James Franco, I also have little experience with his works. I've only seen him in the Spider-Man Trilogy and Freaks and Geeks. I liked him in those, but I don't think those works are ones you really base your career around. I knew this film had been nominated for quite a few Oscars, and it took home none. Of course, that's not always a bad thing.

Review: Franco is phenomenal. Triumphant and raw documentary. Call your mom.

Verdict: worth it.

Want more? Check it out for yourself, or you could always email me for a longer review. I'm more than happy to discuss any of my reviews. If you don't know where to send your emails by now, send them to archymedius@gmail.com.

Dream on.

The Rhythm (10)

My apologies for another late post, but vacation is vacation, and mine is winding down. So while I'm waiting for 127 Hours to download on my PS3 so I can review it, I figured I would take this chance to report the bitesized news about the week that was. It seems the past week mostly was about technology with GDC and the 3DS, as well as PS3 woes, and the iPad 2. Of course, it's not all tech as we get rumors about movies, tv, and oh yeah, did you forget Star Wars is going 3D? Check it all out below.

The Rhythm: supporting Lou Bega and [Mambo No. 5] since 1999.

The Week (of 2.27.11)

The ninth week rolls around and so does the end of February. What does that bring for you? A ton of theatrical releases for one. Topher Grace is back in the 80's themed Take Me Home Tonight, while Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer are up for the interesting take of Beauty and the Beast in Beastly. A little less is new on the television front, but there's plenty to still check out. And be sure to check out 127 Hours, one of the Oscar nominees for 2011. I haven't seen it yet, but I hear it's a powerful movie.
