Too many movies, too little time


Having a DVR is blessing and a curse. One of the greatest things in the world is the ability to record your favorite programs and movies and fast forward through the endless commercials for things that you don't need. And channels such as TCM, USA, FX, and AMC offer a broad selection of films to pick from. But, there is a drawback to the technology...Too many movies, too little time. Weekly, I browse the movies showing on Turner Classic Movies, AMC, and FX and always am able to find at least a couple of movies to watch each week. The problem comes when I don't get to any of them and they start piling up. But, I guess there are worse problems to have.

Here are a few of the movies we have recorded but haven't had time to watch.

Red Bull BC One 2009

I have to admit, even though I don't love dancing myself, I appreciate it as an art form. Break dancing is in the margins of what is considered great dancing but with the help of shows such as America's Best Dance Crew and even So You Think You Can Dace, people are starting to pay attention to it and give it the respect it deserves.

As Beckie and I watched America's Best Dance Crew last night I couldn't help but notice that not a single b-boy crew made it to regionals. So, starving for some real breaking I searched on youtube for the Red Bull BC One, the ultimate one-on-one breaking battlefield.

In 2009 the Red Bull BC One competition returned to the origin of hip-hop and breaking, New York City. And fittingly, in the city where it all started, ground was broken and history was made. Lilou was crowned champion once again (the first to win twice) and showcased some incredibly inventive and groundbreaking moves.


Enjoy, you won't regret it! Maybe I'll even convert some of you while at it.

Mumford & Sons - "The Cave" video (*New)

One of my favorite albums from last year, Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More is full of great folk rock that anyone can stomp their feet to. And all this from a group of Londoners. Their newest video is from the single, The Cave.
