I never know quite when to say I’ve consumed music. My new test is whether something stays in my CD player in the car for extended periods of time. Demon Days has definitely done that!

Why I recommend "Underworld: Evolution"

Underworld: Evolution

by Len Wiseman

As with any sequel to something I enjoyed the original of, I was a bit worried. And then of course, the first reviews trickling in weren’t very good but I liked the move a lot.

It picked up right where the first one ended and definitely expanded on the mythology of the vampire and lychen races.

And to top it off, you get to see Kate Beckinsale in tight black clothes.

Why I recommend "Kung Fu Hustle (Widescreen Edition)"

Kung Fu Hustle (Widescreen Edition)

Great action scenes, mixed with comedy. Good stuff!

Dig That Crazy Christmas

by Brian Setzer Orchestra

The traditional Christmas songs can get kind of stale by the middle of December since most stores are starting to play them earlier and earlier. This was a great antidote and combined with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Christmas CD, something I kept in the car even past Christmas.

Definitely worth bringing it out every year!

Radical Careering: 100 Truths to Jumpstart Your Job, Your Career, and Your Life

by Sally Hogshead

I didn’t really know what to expect when I started this book. I had read a couple of interviews with the author and I’m always interested in career management or whatever buzzword you want to use.

The book is small, easy-to-read and full of color and graphics. This really helpes the ideas to stick in your head long after you have finished.

I’ve tried to pick one idea a week and I think it has really helped me in my day-to-day work. Definitely well it!

A review of "King Kong (Widescreen Edition)"

King Kong (Widescreen Edition)

It’s tough to live up to the hype of an icon such as Kong but I think Peter Jackson has done an admirable job. It would have been very easy to rush to Skull Island but everything happened in its own time. Very impressive!
