New entertainment

bought the french band phoenix's cd the other week called "wolfgang amadeus phoenix" .... pretty good stuff! check out "lisztomania" (my #1 fave) & "1901" (the first song i heard from them, also great!). "fences" has a cool 70's musical feel to it, and "lasso" is catchy. the vocals on "rome" are a tad too nasal for my liking. the worst part of the cd is a 5min+ instrumental song.... i'm thinking coldplay should be the only band who does instrumental songs cuz it's actually enjoyable! phoenix's attempt falls short and borders on annoying for me....so there are definitely 3 solid faves for me, but i'm still warming up to the rest of the cd.

saw the movie "the proposal" this weekend. so cute! sure, the plot is sort of predictable in that you know they're going to fall in love in the end, but how it unfolds was pleasant and actually funny! definitely some laugh-out-loud moments and i was surprised to find ryan reynolds very attractive by the end of the movie....lol i'm for sure making plans to see it again. a great date film! (on a bit of a side note....there was unnecessary, excess nudity, however, the couple never sleeps together, which i found interesting....i think the nudity was there to replace that somehow....)

also saw "star trek" .... sort of against my will lol but i didn't pay for it! i thought the movie was very well-made, the graphics were great and believable. the plot was ok, but i'm not a sci-fi fan. more of a romantic comedy or action kind of girl. :-) and the movie felt so long!! a lot of story set-up, if you know what i mean. but definitely wouldn't go see it again. once was enough, haha.
