The movie Matchstick Men was pretty good. After seeing a couple of really bad movies, but not bad enough to laugh at, It’s refreshing to stumble upon a good one. And Nicolas Cage makes a great performance yet again. One of the few of the actors in Hollywood that can and dare to play quirky [...]

I finally got around to upgrade to WordPress 1.2. Why? Haven’t a clue. Maybe time to try out some plugins maybe?
