One of my all time favorite underrated movies is 310 To Yuma, staring Christian Bale and Russel Crowe as a respectable farmer and a wanted outlaw. 310 to Yuma is about the classic age of the lawless wild west, and when it came on last night on History Channel I had to pause my editing for a couple hours and settle into a great movie. Although I’ve already seen the movie and have already praised how much I love it I’m still going to review it and I guess your still going to read it because why else are you here? To hear me talk about my stock portfolio? I think not… so find out after the break what I really think.
Well its Oscar Eve (the night before the oscars) and everyone is buzzing about whos going to win. According to whats happening on twitter and Facebook, people want Inception for best picture?

Today I had a startling realization. The time of my generation dominance over what’s cool, trendy and how the world should adapt is ending. I remember an article about Sonys marketing strategy a couple years ago was that 19 years old was the prime age they tried to market them selves too. Teenager’s wanted to be older to play the M rated games and older people wanted to kick back to the age of no responsibility making 19 the ideal age for both. Earlier today I saw a YouTube commercial about the Justin Beiber generation of 12 year olds saying what they will want as a generation in ten years when they hit that magic age of 18-25 when all marketers cater everything towards you.
I Just watched Buried.
One of my greatest fears in the world is being Buried alive like Nick from CSI several seasons back. Buried with Ryan Reynolds was probs not a good choice for viewing but it had rave reviews from Sundance last year and some say its good to grab your fears by the horns and rip of the head of the charging bull before it gorges you in the groin. Also Ryan is the only on screen actor throughout the entire 90 minute film which is something very new and very different so I watched it and take a look after the break how I felt about it.
go check out my own newspaper or even make your own! http://paper.li/wifihighfive
I just watched Titanic; the James Cameron masterpiece from 1997 that was the all time highest grossing movie… until James Cameron was like yeah ill make another movie. Avatar; which doubled Titanic’s gross on the miniscule budget of only 500 million dollars (300 million on making it and an estimated 200 in marketing.) Well like the rest of the world I’ve seen Titanic before, but not in several years so when Steph mentioned that it was her favorite movie I had to rewatch it so here we go!

Everyone loves Coke or Pepsi, but what makes it taste the way it does. According to Coca-Cola the original recipe is a trade secret locked in a safe and that only 2 people in the world know it exactly...until now
I have a morning ritual that I need to share. I call it "the terminator". First I crouch down in the shower in the classic "naked terminator traveling through time" pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed through my day as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.
Happy vday all. This is the first vday in a while where i have someone special in my life and I hope that all of you even if you don't have a ying to your yang yet you have a decent day. I got you something hope you enjoy it...
ME and a GIANT BOWL OF LUCKY CHARMS.

Im usually not one to get too involved with people like Lady Gaga, but i'm quite sure that when she shows up to the grammies in an egg people should start talking about what the fuck is up. This is the first and the last time she will be on the wifhighfive, enjoy it while it lasts i guess. So todays what the fuck is lady gaga in an egg photos after the break.

Im getting ready to head off to a meeting for doing camera work for a local tv production and my room mate has unfortunately lost her car keys and forgot the spare at home. hmm looks like im missing out an important meeting soo.... here is pictures of cute puppies.
SO one of the major downsides of being super proactive and outgoing is that your constantly up at ungodly hours of the day like 9am. Today I have an audition to help my friend find the perfect cold war actors. The I have an economic summit to attend downtown on the future of media within windsor ontario. Then im Volunteering with the woman for diabetes for a couple hours for one of their charity events, and then finally its the black out party at my universities pub. Gonna be a long day. Plus i hate suits.

Keeping with our theme of movies centered around good hearted idiots, I just finished watching Dinner for Shmucks staring Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd, Zack Galiflanakis and Jermaine Clament. It was a wild ride with a full barrel of twists and turns along the way with each of these extraordinary people bringing a different zany to this funny comedy. But the more important question was if it hit the mark or was just a mess of too much strange to be understood. Find out after the break!
I just watched Gulliver’s Travels. You know that classic story from your childhood that you used to read in a colorful children’s storybook? Yeah well now they have a movie staring Jack Black as the title character venturing to a far off land filled with people the size of your thumb. Is Gulliver’s Travels thumbs up or thumbs down? Find out after the break!

The painter is sitting in the same deep arm chair longengly staring across the room as the woman paints and softly signs. His studio is alive with colour as her voice dances through the colours of the paint. He smiles deeply.
tell me what main colour you see.
I finally got around to watching Black Swan even though everyone has been telling me for eons and eons to check it out. Everyone was right. I love when everyone says a movie is amazing so your expectations are high and it blows you away even more. Every single movie Darren Aronofsky is incredible and I wonder if he keeps his streak alive? Find out after the break.
Ha this week has been crazy busy so I haven't been able to keep up with my normal blog posting including reviews for The Beautiful Truth, Somewhere and a couple others. Also on the docket is this months Album of the Month which there are defiantly some amazing front runners for me to share. Most of my lack of blogging has been the weather, which I find directly effects how much work I can get done. In fact windsor region was supposed to receive a huge snow storm yesterday which was supposed to result in a snow day. Well the snow came and all the schools closed except for the university which was a brutal hike over mountainous snow backs and through traitorous villages. So todays question of the day is...

I just finished the first part of the last Harry Potter film. I personally really enjoyed the books growing up and read them all several times. I remember way back ten years ago when I heard they were planning on adapting the series into a 7part movie series I thought they were going to ruin my favourite books and take away the amazingness which was sparkled throughout them. Now that we are on the 7th and final book to be fashioned into movie glory we all have to ask our selves something...how will Harry get out of this adventure. Check out after the break to find out what I thought.
