Gphone is Coming

Let's hope Google does right with the Gphone--they have an opportunity to completely revolutionize mobile communications in the United States.

Prediction: The Gphone, with T-mobile, will succeed and we will all enjoy paying drastically reduced cell phone bills.

Best Time of the Year

I think I want to see every one of these films!

Prediction: If, to the masses, he hasn't done it already with Walk the Line, Joaquin Phoenix will establish himself, this year, as one of the greatest actors of our time--I am talking De Niro, Duvall, Newman, Pacino, Brando, Downey Jr., etc.

Prediction: Based solely on cast (Phoenix and Ruffalo: are you kidding me), Reservation Road, will be one of the best movies of the year.

Randomness: An Ode to Chabon

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay: a near-flawless book--without a doubt one of my favorites. I first started reading Chabon's comic-book/Superman inspired novel during the first half of my senior year in college--right after boarding the plane to Europe that would prove to change pretty much every direction my life was taking.

For those who haven't read it, I'm jealous.

Trailer: 2 Days in Paris
