There were quite a few great movies out this past decade. To come up with the top 10 was difficult.

Here it goes:

1. Avatar
2. Return of the King
3. Fellowship of the Ring
4. Star Trek
5. Return of the Sith
6. Wall-E
7. 40 Year-old Virgin
8. Anchorman
9. The Dark Knight
10. King Kong

There were many more movies that I loved, here are some others that I couldn’t get into the top 10.
Brokeback Mountain
Moulin Rouge
Sin City
Shaun of the Dead
The Pianist
Kill Bill Volume 1 & 2
The Prestige

Update @ Jan 1st, 2010 @ 4:28pm
High Fidelity
Hotel Rwanda
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Since everybody else seems to be doing this, I will write some of my Top 10 of the last decade.
Let’s start with music. In no particular order:

Street Sleeper – Grand Theft Bus
I Love New York – Madonna
American Idiot – Green Day
Call On Me – Eric Prydz
Empire State of Mind Part II – Alicia Keys
White & Nerdy – Weird Al Yankovic
I don’t feel like dancing – Scissor Sisters
Candyman – Christina Aguilera
My Life Would Suck Without You – Kelly Clarkson
A Little Less Conversation – Elvis Presley vs. JXL

Update January 1st, 2010 @ 6:50pm:
Totally forgot about The Crystal Method’s Starting Over.

It is with sadness that I tell you that Michael Jackson has passed away. One of my role models as a child. I had the Off The Wall & Thriller albums and I danced to both of them. His music and dancing inspired me. I will miss him.

I was at the 3rd Annual Walter Gretzky Street Hockey Tournament in Brantford, ON on Saturday June 6th, 2009. Director Kevin Smith was there with his posse.

It was quite fun and I got a lot of pictures of Puck U. You can find my pics over on flickr.

Later that evening we saw Kevin perform a live Smodcast with Scott Mosier at the Sanderson Theatre in downtown Brantford, ON. It was hilarious (as always).

Dear Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently.

I follow @levarburton on Twitter and noticed he was coming to Toronto today. He’s going to be doing an interview with George on The Hour tomorrow.
LeVar decided to do an impromptu tweetup @ Hemingway’s in Yorkville. Well, I ran my butt up there and got to meet him, shake his hand and got a picture of the 2 of us. w00t!

It was awesome!

Ricardo Montalban has passed away at the age of 88 in Los Angeles. To most people he is remembered as Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island. To nerds he is remembered as Kahn from Star Trek (TV and the Wrath of Kahn movie). My favourite is probably Naked Gun. He was absolutely wonderfully evil in that movie.

There is a clip of Sandra Bernhard talking about Sarah Palin. Google Video – Sandra Bernard in Without You I’m Nothing

Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s–t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b—h! Don’t you f–kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls–t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b—h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally! You whore in your f–kin’ cheap New Vision cheap-ass plastic glasses and your [sneering voice] hair up. A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls–t moment.

Bernhard is awesome.

She has also said some other outrageous stuff which isn’t in this video. The big headline is that she said: Palin Would Be Gang-Raped By Blacks in Manhattan

She may have crossed the line with that one, but she always has crossed the line. Why would she be different now?

Today (September 1st, 2008) is the last day for Star Trek: The Experience. I was lucky to go a few weeks ago. I quite enjoyed it and it is too bad that Cedar Fair Entertainment and the Hilton couldn’t reach an agreement.
