ars gratia artis


its refreshing to find a place in this city where the cover is just as cheap as the drinks and the venue is great as well. libation was fun, i had a good time and shall return, although it was not my first time there. i hadn't been in quite a while but then again the first trip i took there is a little fuzzy.

blockbuster has been my sole means of purchasing dvds. they sell the previously viewed ones for dirt cheap. they have some for 2 for 20, 3 for 20 and 4 for 20. the 2 for 20 obviously showcases the most popular but the latter has just as juicy a selection. i happened to picked up a very interesting and entertaining film today (4 for 20 deal) by the name of "otis" i comedic thriller about a psychotic killer who happens to pick the wrong victim to fuck with. very original and fun to watch. reminded me of the type of humor seen in "juno" but a bit morbid and cruel.

with film on the mind here are a few that you must see

1. taken - saw this back in october, great action

2. otis - nuff said

3. pan's labyrinth - suggested by a friend, i loved it. violently shocking!

4. mr. brooks - a must see for everyone! oscar worthy perferomance by kevin kosner

5. the bank job - a true story and a great depiction of it

6. we own the night - jaquin pheonix is superb

7. old boy - great japanese film about a man who is kidnapped and jailed for 15 years only to be released with loads of cash

8. the escapist - takes the prison break movie to another level

9. revolver - guy richie's unheard brilliance, andre 300 does well, ray liotta too!

10. city of ember - great film about an underground city that has no knowledge that there is a planet on the surface.

11. defiance - daniel craig is great

12. the kite runner - sad story but a great experience
