&$THIS SUMMER IT'S GONNA BE ALL ABOUT THE TREKKIES_)

Early reviews are in and they're all extremely positive. Seems this will be this year's The Dark Knight. I never watched one episode of Star Trek neither watched any of the movies, I seriously couldn't care less, but with the reviews being this positive it seems to be THE summer blockbuster of 2009 to beat. J.J. Abrams who directed it still appears to be on a winning streak. After Alias (best TV show ever), Lost and bringing the Mission Impossible series back to life with Mission Impossible III, there seems no stopping this man. I'm excited, 'cause yes, apart from all those small indie art type of films, I am still perfectly capable to enjoy a well crafted action flick! :D
Superhero movies are so last year.

&$THE DARK KNIGHT LEGO FIGURES}=

Look at these Lego figures, aren't they cool. I love the Joker one and the one with the orange hair and mask. Not exactly child friendly though :)

#%DARK KNIGHT EXPLODES INTO DEVENDRA)^

The Dark Knight, extremely cool, Ledger is a brilliant Joker and has multiple showstealing scenes. It's fun from beginning to end and it's one of those films which I wouldn't mind seeing again immediately. Sometimes I feel watching a film again too soon could spoil the amazing experience I had, but with the latest Batman I could just go a second time and enjoy it all over again. It's just a very fun ride. I also really enjoyed watching Gary Oldman, really enjoyed his character.


Right now I'm pretty much obsessing over Explosions In The Sky. They get better every listen. I guess it's just because their songs are so long so every time you discover something new. Thanks to Euan for having recommended them to me somewhere during the last ten months. It's always easier checking out bands of which friends tell you they're truly worth your time. So many great tunes, one of which is Time Stops, which gets crazy good at around 4.45! And I just love the title of one of their EPs, Suddenly I Miss Everyone.


Also, Devendra Banhart. Loved the guy, but never felt I truly got into him before. But this was until some days ago I decided to listen to Rejoicing In The Hands which features the song A Sight To Behold which truly won me over. Worth your time I say ;)

$%WHY SO SERIOUS?{:

Finally I will see it! Most anticipated so far, apart from Boy A, 4:30 (Filmmuseum, need to get there!), The Visitor (watch The Station Agent and you'll know why), and since recently In Search Of A Midnight Kiss. Will it live up to the hype? We'll see...
