Checking In

I am being a slacker. I watched Doubt last week and I still haven't finished writing a post about it. It's not that I have a ton to write, I just haven't taken the time to do it yet. I really don't have any excuses either. It has rained every day for the past 8 days, so its not like I have been outside doing stuff. I only watched one movie this past weekend, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood, and starring Angelina Jolie. It wasn't anything like I expected, which turned out to be a good thing. It piqued my interest more than I thought it would, but I still can't say I enjoyed the movie. It was alright, but nothing special. Right now I have The Wrestler in a red Netflix envelope at my house. I hope to watch that this week. Surely I will find it worthy of dedicating a post to it. However, I don't know when I will be writing. This weekend is the Joe Martin Stage Race in Fayetteville, so I will be spending quite a bit of time there. This year Floyd Landis will be riding in the race. He won the 2006 Tour de France, but had the title taken away when he was found to be doping. He had been suspended from competition until just a couple months ago. It will be cool to see him race in person. I am excited about it.
Things seem to be slowing down with good DVD releases lately. I still have quite a few movies I want to see, but not too many that I am really looking forward to. I guess Paul Blart: Mall Cop is coming out later this month, so I can look forward to that. If you have any recommendations for me, let me know so I can add them to my list.
