Crimson Tide; An End to Arkham (?); All Rebel Rockers

Hola! How's stuff? Last night I had dinner with Ryan and Jamie and watched Crimson Tide (which I've seen before). Crimson Tide (which is a 1995 movie about a power struggle among the commanding officers of a nuclear submarine during an international incident with Russian revolutionaries) isn't really a great movie, but it's kind of interesting, and it actually has some decent performances in it from Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman. Viggo Mortensen is in it, which is kind of funny, because he was just sort of a minor, supporting character. Given the way his career has taken off since 1995, I sort of doubt you'd see him in a similar role today.

I also finished playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. It was a pretty solid game all the way through. A story that was pretty good for a video game (which managed to take advantage of the video game format to tell the story), good playability, great art. Apparently they're already working on Arham Asylum 2, and I'll happily play it if it's has as good as the first one.

I just don't have a whole lot else to tell you guys. I recently downloaded All Rebel Rockers, which is an album which was released in September of '08 by Michael Franti and Spearhead. It's a sort of dub/reggae sort of thing for the most part, and I like it. It kind of puts me in a good mood (strangely, it also reminds me a lot of the Grand Theft Auto videogames, because I regularly find myself listening to the in-game reggae station in my cars when I'm driving around town in those games. So now I'm driving around Austin and listening to Spearhead and feeling like I need to be on the lookout for gangsters with guns...).

Anyway, it's a cool record.

Just not coming up with much today.

Probably better not to force it.

Hope you guys are having a good one!
