<br>
<br>
Writing, music, concerts, DJing, Saturday mornings in the company of someone special, reading, good conversation over drinks, the outdoors, dancing late into the night, sleeping in, barbeques, martinis, the beach, the endless pursuit to discover the truth behind true love.

Movies
Recent: The Incredible Hulk - The "sequel" to Ang Lee's Hulk sees Edward Norton step in for Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler for Jennifer Connelly, and William Hurt for Sam Elliot. In terms of action, the Incredible Hulk is much better, with fast-paced, action-packed scenes chalkful of high-end CGI special effects. In terms of story, the film is a little thin, with not enough character development to pack an emotional punch. As for a summer popcorn flick, however, this Hulk smashes many other comic movies that have come before it, including the first, not-so-incredible Hulk.
Looking forward to: The Dark Knight - Holy crap, Heath Ledger looks awesome in the upcoming Batman flick. Not so keen on the Bat suit, but Christian Bale looks up to the task of tackling his darkest foil.
Others in random order: Trainspotting, 24 Hour Party People, Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Rushmore, anything Tarantino, anything Kubrick, The Cube, most anything comic book related (my guilty pleasure) like Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 as well as the first two X-Men flicks and Batman Begins, many more
