Yesterday, in my crap mood I made several purchases. I was smart about it and I am well aware that you can't buy yourself out of a bad mood, I wanted to do something for myself though. Spend a few dollars on myself just because.
Went to Wally World and dug through their cheap bin, 2 for $10, picked up School of Rock which I thought was a fun movie with some good music and Wrestlemanica. I'd never seen or heard of Wrestlemanica I mostly bought it on the fact that it promised to be a campy/cult horror movie and that it had a name I recognized, Rey Mysterio (not to be confused with Rey Mysterio Jr of the WWE which, should, he RM's son).
Wrestlemanica was surprisingly good. It had a good mix of humor, interesting characters and story. The villian was very well portrayed and the ending was funny in a good horror movie kind of way. I found it far better than most of the stuff that has come out in mainstream Horror and would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a decent horror movie. There are some extras that I've not checked out but that I will soon enough.
Aside from Wally World I dropped into Blockbuster and picked up 3 movies for the price of 2, I went with the 6.99 price range, a good selection but not over priced, the 6.99 to me is the premiere range for a good movie at Blockbuster.
Grabbed up Zach & Miri Make a Porno, Forbidden Kingdom and Apalooza. Have been wanting to see Forbidden Kingdom and Apalooza was my freebie, haven't watched either of them yet but will probably do so tonight.
I did watch Zach & Miri and really enjoyed it. Another Kevin Smith movie, this time with Seth Rogan but still including Jason Mewes though not in his usual Jay role. Some good dirty humor along the lines of Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin, a love story (which is something I don't normally go in for but it was interesting in this movie) and a pretty good cast of characters which is what really made the movie. Each actor really made their own out of the characters they played, I really liked Jason Mewes who played someone quite removed from Jay and Seth Rogan did a good job doing what he does best the funny, akward real world sorta schmoe kinda guy. Elizabeth Banks was very likeable as Miri and did an excellent job in contrast to Seth who is a very solid screen worker.
Fuck I'm gushing about these movies, that's not right. Shouldn't do that anymore. Mental note, no more gusing that's for the women and their Oprah movies.
Anything else....I like the library's Graphic Novel selection but that's another post for another day.
I'm out.
Peace,

Rey Mysterio Jr isn't the son of Rey Mysterio which is amazing. He is the nephew. Sr does have a son in the business named El Hijo de Rey Mysterio. I have no idea how Jr got the name except that his uncle allowed him to use it.

And here I was thinking that I could just take a name at face value. What is the world coming to.
Thank you for allowing my blog to continue its streak of informational correctness.
I tip my hat.
