Lt. Dan Band.
Just saw a short documentary about Gary Senise's Lt. Dan Band and their tours to entertain the military in Iraq. He is a good bass player and the band pretty much rocks everything. I'm impressed.
Saw Marley & Me. To those who said they wouldn't have seen it if they'd known about the sad ending; oh grow up. And once again, read the cottonpickin' reviews before you take your 6-year old to a movie. I thought it was good, and accurate, and if anyone was aware of the book that was on the best-seller list like FOREVER, they would have known the story covered Marley's entire lifespan with his family.
Also saw Valkyrie. With such heavyweights as Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp and Kenneth Branagh it should have been better. I was surprised to see Eddie Izzard, who turned in a small but solid performance. The English dialogue felt weird... I almost wish they had spoken German and subtitled it. Unfortunately Cruise just didn't fit the von Stauffenberg role... he never stopped being Tom Cruise. As much as I've always been fascinated with this little piece of history, the film lacked the tension I expected, considering this was a failed attempt to assasinate the world's most feared leader. I'd give it a B-, but only because of the supporting cast and excellent attention to visual detail.
Spent most of the day organising personal files... cleaning out tons of old junk that all needs to be shredded. Bleah. Maybe I'll just have a little ceremony in the fireplace.
