A new look.

Welcome back Mike.

I guess it's time that I got back to filling this space with my meandering musings. Not too sure what's happened in the last month. Not a whole hell of a lot actually. I've been teaching quite a bit and watching movies. First, the bad movie. WARNING WARNING Below may contain spoilers!!

The Forgotten
What a disappoinment this was. I totally was expecting it to be a psychological thriller. But it turns out it's about aliens. I mean really? Aliens? What a lame ending. It ranks up there with "And then I woke up." Don't waste your time with this one. Don't even watch it when it's free on HBO. Julianne Moore, an actress I respect, surprised me by appearing in this film. I can't believe she agreed to do this. Maybe this is one of those "contractual obligation" movies. The studio probably pitched a great Oscar worthy movie and then told her she could only get the part if she agreed to do this piece of tripe.

The Incredibles
The title says it all. This has to be the most amazing CG movie I have ever seen. The textures and the hair were fantastic. Every second of the movie was beautiful. And the story was great and the humour was stupendous. I won't say too much about it. Just go see it.

This last weekend Louise and I went to check out the Ministry of Sound in Taipei. If you don't know what the MOS is let me tell you. It's the world leading dance club. This month is foreign friend's month and so Louise and I were able to get in for free. Thanks to my Canadian passport. The club was a lot like Metro. Huge interior and great music. Definitely a great club to go dancing in.
