As I mentioned earlier, I saw Angelina Jolie‘s new film Salt last night with a group of friends and the general consensus was that we all loved it:

For me, the film felt a bit like the Jason Bourne films — which I love — but with a kick-ass female lead. It’s about damn time Hollywood made a film franchise around a female spy who can kick all kinds of ass. I’m certain that Salt will become a very successful franchise of films. This first one was chock full of great surprises and LOTS of action scenes … plus the ending was left wide open for, hopefully, an entire series of films. The only thing I didn’t like about the film was how skinny Angelina Jolie was. I did not believe she could do all of the stuff she does in the film with such a frail-looking body. I think she needs to bulk up a bit to make her action-star role work better in a more believable way. BUT, the film is just so fun … you kinda get lost in all the action. There are so many great scenes, I deffo want to see it again.

One more thing, I wanted to give some love to Amanda Palmer who just last week released a new EP titled Amanda Palmer Performs The Popular Hits of Radiohead on Her Magical Ukulele on which, you guessed, it she performs the hits of Radiohead on her ukulele:

I’ve been kinda obsessed with this EP ever since I downloaded it from her official site last week and I’m tellin’ ya, you gotta check it out. Insanely enough, she is only charging $0.84 for the 7-track EP but I suggest y’all pay a bit more for it … it’s really worth it. You can preview and then BUY her EP HERE (there are also other ways to buy the album with a lot of fun options). Check it out, tell me what you think. I love it … I think you will to.

Tonight … I have tix to see The Shining on the big screen … another of my fave films that I’ve never seen in a theater before. I can’t wait … Red Rum … Red Rum.
