Mortal Kombat Rebirth shows up on YouTube

I’m still not sure what to think of this. The Mortal Kombat franchise is buried in failure. Even a dark realistic take on Mortal Kombat like this can’t fix the broken franchise. Most people will feel obligated to watch this nostalgic garbage but we should know better. The only thing I can applaud the writers for is making Scorpion the protagonist.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist: Quick Review

Today I got the chance to check out a wonderfully awesome movie. I’ve been anticipating the movie’s release since I first saw the trailer ages ago. The movie definitely has heart as well as a great young cast. With a sense of humor and lovable characters it’s difficult to make a bad indie teenage flick. The script is near perfect and the themes and relationships are honest yet entertaining.

If you liked Juno you’ll like this movie. If you like soundtracks this is one that will stand out while watching.

I have one criticism about Michael Cera and that all his characters are the same person. He has delivered in each role so that makes up for it, but he is a pigeon holed actor right now.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things – Jason Mraz

I heard the new Jason Mraz single “I’m Yours” a week ago and I enjoyed it enough to give the album a listen. The funky tracks on the album make for some addictive audio. The slower tracks accompany the album but definitely aren’t the main attraction here.

Overall, this album is definitely better than his last release “Mr. A-Z”. A disappointment for sure, since his first album “Waiting for My Rocket to Come” did so well, but it looks like he hit his stride again with this one. I’ll be playing his disco tracks on my ipod for weeks to come. It’s definitely a throw-back to funkier times, but he still manages to keep it fresh.

Fav Tracks:

Butterfly
Make it Mine
The Dynamo of Volition

Other things I’m listening to:
“Cross” – Justice
“Self titled” – Brazilian Girls

Slip to the bottom of my

Overdrawn again, feeling
