Quick check in guys and girls. I thought I would recommend some movies and music for all of you to check out when you get a chance.

Movie: Accepted
Hilarious movie that leaves you feeling feeling good and very inspired. The movie itself, while a bit hard to describe, is about the fake college the main character, Bartelby, sets up after not getting accepted anywhere else. He simply wants to fool his parents and get them off of his back, but things balloon rather quickly. Hysterical, laugh out loud humor (without any extreme vulgarity or perverseness) and a heart felt meaning behind it all.

Movie: Crank:
Starring Jason Statham (the guy from the Transporter movies), this one is action from beginning to end. There’s no deep story line. The only thing this movie is about is crazy action from 2 minutes in, straight through the end (literally). If you’re bored and need a kick ass movie, this is the one.

Music: “Vultures” by Smile Empty Soul
Their actual second album never got released, so this is their sophomore release. The sound is a bit different than their older stuff (attributed to a new drummer and an extra guitarist), but it’s a solid album. Honestly, there’s only one track I don’t like and only one other I’m willing to skip over, if need be. Give it a listen and see what you think. You can hear a few of the track over at the band’s MySpace.

Music: “The Singles” by Staind
Yes, I know, the record company is trying to milk things a bit, but there’s incentive here. The album comes with 4 live recordings from the acoustic show Joe and I went to a little while back. Better yet, if you buy it at Best Buy, you get an additional 2 tracks from that same show. It wouldn’t be worth it without these 6 tracks, but they’re there and it’s worth it. If you want a listen, check out the “Sober” cover over at their MySpace.

That’s all for me. Hope you enjoy.
