So, it is day 3 of my 4-day weekend, and so far, it's been very enjoyable. I've been riding in my car a lot in the past couple days, which was a big change to my usual lazy routine. You could probably guess why, too. Well, let's just say I've had my window down at a stop light with the bass up high and the volume pretty loud8) . Other than that, I've been watching many movies. This week, I watched one that was one of the best I've seen in a long time, one crappy ass one, one that was ok, and one that was pretty good, but not in high standards.

The Thing About My Folks--This one my mom picked out. I was definately surprised, too. It was a good-hearted story of a guy and his father travelling together after the father's wife basically wants to be "alone," so the father and the son go traveling together. Bascially, through the whole movie, they are trying to find themselves, and try to heal past wounds. A very underated movie, and is a worthy way to spend about 2 hours. 8/10.

Office Space--I picked this one out, and guess what? I thought it was just not funny. I tried to laugh, I really did, but the movie was incredibly stupid. I'm serious. Don't get me wrong, I like my fair share of comedies such as 40 Year Old Virgin, Napoleon Dynamite, and the recently released job-hating movie Waiting...., but this one fell flat on its back IMO. It was just ok. Go see Waiting... instead if you want a job-related comedy. 6.5/10.

Sling Blade-- I've seen Rain Man and Forrest Gump, and while they were two movies about a disabled person, Sling Blade just blew me away. The acting by not one, but all the stars in it just left me in awe. I'll never look at Billy Bob Thornton the same way again, that's for sure. And Dwight Yoakum? I never thought a country singer like him could be that harsh in a movie. Don't even get me started on John Ritter's role, either. IMO, this movie is miles ahead of Rain Man and Forrest Gump. It get's a nice 10/10. Definately buy this one on DVD.

Wolf Creek--Last, and most certainly least, was Wolf Creek, another mindless horror movie my mom picked out. Let's see, the first hour of it was boring as hell, the middle of the movie was unwatchable because it was too dark to tell wtf was going on, and lastly, it was filled with the usual horror cliches we know of. It gets a very weak 3.5/10.

Yup, Sling Blade ended up being the big one this weekend. And the weekend isn't over yet. Could go to the video store and rent more today, even if it IS Easter. Well, breakfast is calling my name, so have a Happy Easter everyone. Lata.
