War of the Cakes.

So far so good on the training tip.

I saw War of the Worlds this ID4 (hah! get it?). Loved it. Go see it. Repeat: Go See It!! I'm a spielberg fan through and through. From fucking Jaws chomping through shit to the AI aliens, the whole bit. AI in all it's overblown grandeur nailed it as far as I'm concerned. Minority Report is a helluva lot better than you remember. I guarantee.

War of the Worlds is fucking gut-wrenching, nail-biting tension. I've never been so tense in a movie for so long. I was along for the ride and running for my life. All this to say, it needs to be seen in theaters. This is a theater movie if ever there was one. Go see it.


The day before I saw Layer Cake. It was great. Daniel Craig is great and apparently doing well for himself from rumors of the next bond to having a big role in the next spielberg movie. The guy's charming as hell and fun to watch. Personally, I'll take Matthew Vaughn's realistic smart characters over Guy Ritchie's quirky cartoon-like crooks, any day. Not to mention it's nice to be free of Ritchie's stereotypical black characters bugging this shit out of my conscience.

Look out for the apparently random beating in the middle of the movie. It was one of the more intense beatings I've seen in a while that churned my stomach. Fun british-crook movie all the way through the twisty-turvy ending. Oh and also the assassination scene: my gosh, so cool.

Well if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk and in 4 and a half months I'm going to set out for the sport that took my knee and destroy it.
