Eternal Sunshine

Woot! Did I like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or what!?! I can be pretty clueless, but I think I got this one. Sean's always been a loyal admirer of Kate Winslet, even in the face of my calling her a cow, the skirt next to Leo on the boat, etc. But holy cow! (ooops. punny) She held your eye and mind every time she was on screen. Very cool - I can say I've discovered Kate. p.s. J.C. was good too. 8-)

Passion of Christ

As I drove home the night I saw this with mike, I couldn't decide how I felt about giving this movie an iPaulo rating. I'm still unclear why I was hesitant but I'm going to go ahead and give it a rating. Painful, torturous, moving, powerful, stirring, sad, rich, scary, amazing.

Cold Mountain

We saw Cold Mountain last night at the Arclight. I really enjoyed the Appalachian-ish folk music and thought the acting was great. I would have liked Nicole Kidman to look scruffier, especially during her supposed scarecrow phase. Wish the ending was a little more like the ending in Dances with Wolves. I won't say more so I won't ruin the ending.

Lazy Seals

On our trip to hear Anonymous 4 sing their new album American Angels, we saw a herd of lazy seals sunning on the beach in la jolla. /images/la-jolla-seal0.jpg" alt="30 seals sunning themselves on the beach

Starsky & Hutch

What a blast! Plenty of '70s cliches. The S&H Grand Toreno. Cheerleaders. And well executed surprise at the end along with a couple nice outtakes. This movie really exceeded my expectations.

And by the way, sometimes these movie entries are going to suck. Here's the reason. With the new blogging engine, I was able to tie the blog posted here into the movie review list over on the side. Now, it's kind of automagic. Neat, huh?

Meet the Puppies

whew! I told the Wizard of DNS to switchover iPaulo, but I almost forgot to replace the dancing cow image I was using as a placeholder. I never would have heard the end of that. So, without further ado, the first known online image of puck and zelda (and some guy...he's not important. did you see those cute puppies?!) /images/mike-puck-zelda.jpg" alt="Mike with their two new puppies

All new iPaulo

Here we go. A new era. Hopefully, gone will be the days - I mean months - of dancing cows and long intermissions between posts. Hope you enjoy the new site design. I'll be cleaning up a few technical details, so watch out using my trackback for about a week. Otherwise, knock yourself out. Tell me what you think...
