I watched Quantum of Solace tonight on BR and also really enjoyed it.

I was surprised to see Quantum of Solace get a 5.0 rating on Blu-ray.com after so many ho-hum reviews. And if you missed Maddox's review of the movie:

Quantum of Solace is a shiptile [sic]

I should note that he uses very colorful language.

I watched DOOK get knocked out of the tournament.

I was a big Duke fan in the mid-80s, in the very early part of Coach K's reign. Dawkins, Alarie, Bilas, Amaker, etc ...

I graduated high school in 1986 and got into Duke and Notre Dame, visited both places, and was put off by the Dookies and welcomed warmly by the Irish, so I'm a Notre Dame alum now.

They now have our previous Athletic Director, Kevin White, who signed Charlie Weis to that long-term contract with the horrific buy-out. Good riddance. He can do to Duke basketball what he did to ND football...

Nova crushed them in the 2nd half...it was great to watch. Go Wildcats!

No surprise there......they put off everybody. Every Tarheel I know is especially fond of.....Henderson.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

I like Michael Cera and Kat Dennings, and it's always nice to see Jay Baruchel get work, but the overall tone of the movie didn't really work for me. It's probably a sign that I'm getting old, since I wanted to tell the teenagers to stop acting like dweebs.

My wife and I finished the first season of Dexter last night....and then I watched the Heels take out the Zags.

My latest Amazon order arrived yesterday, and last night I watched Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at the El Mocambo and Heart - Alive in Seattle.

I could go on and on about the SRV show, but I'll just say that in one viewing it became one of the "desert island" must-haves. Perfect sound. No. Perfect video? Not really. Doesn't take anything away from a stunning performance.

Heart was really enjoyable too. I've always liked their stuff and I've seen them live a couple of times. I bought the DVD because I remembered being really impressed with them while watching the VH1 Honors program. Last summer? No matter.

Their performances of a couple of Zepplin tunes was really great. Good production with terrific video and very well done DTS sound.

Every Friday night should be so good.

Body of Lies

I liked it all right, despite the Russell Crowe/Ridley Scott combination. (What's up with the upcoming Robin Hood movie with Russell Crowe playing him? Shouldn't he be Friar Tuck?) Golshifteh Farahani is beautiful, so that was nice.
