Aww...lil Lumpy is cute! Check out Behind the Candelabra, Lumpy. I think it's one of the better movies released this year. A Place Beyond the Pines - 7/10 - I was ready to be bored by this since I felt Blue Valentine Ryan Gosling was is a bit overrated but was pleasantly surprised. I really liked that the film tried to tackle a subject from a generational point of view. The consequence of doing that is that some of the story around important characters suffers. I guess the film is supposed to be about men and their fathers but it just felt like one particular female character is mostly ignored even though she is pretty integral to the story.

Upstream Color - 5/10 - I had to go the wikipedia page to figure out what the hell was going on after seeing the film. Needlessly obtuse is a good way to describe it. I see what Carruth was going for about processes and how we go through them and they connect us but ultimately I didn't buy the connection. Once the stuff with the pigs came in the film kinda lost me. He probably shouldn't have acted in his own film and as much as he loves that Malick-y style of editing (cutting between multiple locations during a single conversation) ultimately it didn't help to portray the relationship we're supposed to buy the most. I felt more interested in a character that only shows up for the beginning of the film. The cinematography was beautiful although it's always weird for me to see characters walking around my city on the big screen. I do hope Carruth makes another film. I think he has a lot of potential especially if he keeps trying to interject some humanity into his films.

From Boomkat: Chicago-based trumpet player and electronic experimenter Justin Walter makes a lovely debut appearance on Kranky with his rarified first solo album. Sounding uncannily like the results of a secret hook up between Golden Retriever, Arve Henriksen and BoC, on 'Lullabies & Nightmares' Justin employs the Electronic Valve Instrument - a sort of hybrid trumpet and analogue synthesiser created in the '80s - to gorgeous effect, improvising frothy, fizzing loops of languid melody and scorched dissonance overdubbed with blunted drum patter and fractured electronics. It's all miles off Justin's previous work as session player for the likes of Iron & Wine, Nomo, or Sinkane, and much the better for it, allowing his mind to really wander beyond any generic restrictions and frame the instrument and Justin at their most free, intuitively expressive, creating a genuinely lush, naively wide-eyed sound that just happens to dovetail with the sweetest sides of Ghost Box, the sacred forms of Kyle Bobby Dunn or even an energy-depleted Colin Stetson. From Justin: I set out to record an album of completely improvised music that fused my experiments with the Electronic Valve Instrument and my love of held sounds on the trumpet. In recent years I've come to see the trumpet as an instrument that speaks in slow and long sounds, with meaning coming from the shape and inflection of each note. The process for this was fairly straight forward, record lots of improvisations. Of the songs on the album, six are one-take improvisations with the only overdubs being drums. The remaining five are multi-tracked improvisation, meaning all elements of the song were first take improvisations. Nothing was programmed in a computer, everything was sampled live. This was the key part in the process of recording this music, providing the necessary structure needed to follow an idea to its end in real time. Lullabies and Nightmares: 1. Mind Shapes 2. Dream Weaving 3. Awakening 4. Lullabies & Nightmares 5. Western Tears 6. Fears of a Wild Man 7. The Way of Five 8. Plastic People 9. Thoughts 10. Sister Sleeper 11. I Saw Your Face [youtubehd]KL4R8iv0vkE[/youtubehd] I'd never heard of this guy before but I checked it out just because it's on Kranky and this is really good. He creates some really beautiful tunes.

Spring Breakers - 6.5/10 - There are some great sequences in the film that reminded me of what I like about what Korine does but it didn't completely succeed for me. There's a lot of repetition and voice-over that, if cut out, would have improved the film immensely. One of the leads isn't that great of an actress and the film is helped by her exit halfway through. The funny thing is surprisingly James Franco isn't bad in this. The music/score is pretty good, too.

i love U-Turn.. it's TNT as fuck I liked it, too. Kind of ridiculous but that's kinda Stone's style. It has a great score by Ennio Morricone, too. That new Oz movie - 2/10 - This was fucking terrible. I couldn't stay awake it was so goddamn boring. Most of the background cgi in the film is atrocious. Yet, the cgi monkey gave a better performance than James Franco. The only thing that kept me awake during the second half of this film was the borderline inappropriate amount of breasts heaving out of corsets, at least for a film for children.

Got engaged over the weekend, we don't have a date set yet and the wedding is probably a year and a half away, I'm already bored to tears by the million decisions that family and friends are annoying us about. I totally understand when people decide to elope.
