Just One More Sleep

Most of you know that I absolutely love going to the movies and even though too many of them kind of suck, I just like going to the movies. Everyone was waiting for Star Wars to come out this summer. The new movie that Tom Cruise is in looks like it might be cool and a lot of you are probably waiting for that to come out, and in one day, the movie I have been waiting forever to see comes out, and I can't wait to see it.

Two of my favourite movies happen to be documentaries. American Movie is the story of an aspiring filmmaker and his burnt-out buddy and Dog Town and Z-Boys is a documentary about the Z-Boys and the skateboard culture back in the day, before every snot-nosed kid who has a skateboard started acting like he is the shit and is about to turn pro and make millions of dollars. If you haven't seen this amazing documentary, which is actually narrated by Sean Penn, go rent it before you see Lords of Dogtown, which comes out on Friday.

I'm not surprised that they made this movie, but I'm shocked at how much they are promoting it. I really hope it isn't a bullshit Hollywood movie, that would be very disappointing. I've waited a long time to see this movie. Most of the articles and interviews I've read in the skate mag's make me think that they did a good job on the movie, but I'll be sure to let you all know what I think right after I see it.

One of these days, maybe I'll do some short reviews of all the movies I've seen over the last few months. If you guys have any suggestions for how I should rate them, then let me know, we need to come up with something original, so think hard about this guys.

I'll touch back to you all later,
