Has it really been over a month since my last update? I can't believable. So much has been happening. Where to start?
Courtney and I are in the process of buying a house. Funny enough, the last time I updated this blog was around the time that they poured the foundation for the house. And now the house is almost done. Less than 2 months. Our walk-through is just around the corner. Amazing. And very exciting. Now if only I could get jazzed up for the packing :(
Casper and I have returned to the well and are doing podcasts as Evan and Kyle, from Level Up: The Show. It has been great fun doing these characters again, plus a really good way to do improv in a safe and controlled environment. It also consistently reminds me of how much I love to perform, and how much I love it even more when I have an improv partner that is as giving and talented as Casper. And no, he didn't make me say that. There's just a certain level of comfort and rhythm that we drop into. Pretty awesome. Definitely check us out at Level Up Films, Level Up on Facebook, or search for Level Up Films on iTunes.
Just watch Battle: Los Angeles. I might take the time to do a full review but I don't really know if I want to devote any effort to it, to be perfectly honest. I mean, it's kind of obvious that the screenwriter and director didn't want to, so why should I?
I'm just being mean. The movie wasn't that bad. It just wasn't that good either. The producers certainly had brass balls calling their production company Original Film, considering that the movie was anything but. When it wasn't ripping off District 9, Aliens, Independence Day, and every other major science fiction movie of the last 2 decades, it was giving you a headache with its poor form of "documentary-style cinematography". Just because you use the most awkward camera angles known to man, quick pans and zooms, and the shakiest cam this side of the Bourne Trilogy does not a "documentary" style make. Maybe if Ridley Scott was at the helm, the movie might have been halfway decent. But not even a great director can make a turd of a script into gold.
My take? The movie is fun and harmless enough. If you're bored and some cash lying about, you have worse ways to spend your time and money. Just be prepared to be totally blown away by absolutely nothing in the movie.
On the flip side, I finally watched The Expendables and Tangled on Blu-Ray. I was highly entertained by both and recommend them. Oh and The Walking Dead, the series done on AMC. Fantastic.
Well that's it for me. The next time I post, I'll hopefully be in the new house.
Nice. I'll give you the $10 at the next recording. ;)
