Well I made my annual purchase of EA's NCAA10. As a huge college football fan, the season starts in July each year with this release. Not too much new this year, but the season showdown mode which tracks everything you do with a school and will have some sort of meaning once the season starts is a neat addition. Onto a few movies. Having really enjoyed Watchmen last week, the misses and I are in full blown movie mode. A few nights ago we watched Revolutionary Road. Wow. Amazing movie, if your married, I think it captures (in this case mostly bad) all the things that happen in a marriage people on the outside never see. Many, many times our friends or family have commented on my wife and I, how we are, how we argue, whatever, and we steal a glance at each other knowing they have no idea. I'm sure it's that way for every marriage, but this movie glaringly pointed it out, and we had an hour long discussion afterwards. DiCaprio was very, very good. I still think he looks young and has few facial expressions, but this was his best film IMO, and I think I've seen them all. Kate Winslet was stunning (The Reader must have been hella-good for her not to get the Oscar for this film). She has gotten better and better, and it had to be one of the best performances in a female lead I've ever seen. When the last frame ended and the credits rolled, we both spoke at the same time, JoAnn said "My God" and for the first time ever I said "Bravo". Wouldn't have been embarrassed saying it in a theater, it was that good. Also watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night. Another very good movie, not as corny as Forrest Gump as many have said, and Pitt did a very good job. Overall, another very good movie, it's a great story I enjoyed reading, and I liked the movie nearly as much. So that's all in my world, 3 great movies in a week is great, hope to keep the streak going and not rent a clunker 
. Take care all! B

I am fan of the Big 12 and that makes the NCAA game a good buy.
Not a huge DiCaprio fan his acting is inconsistant - sometimes he is good and sometimes you don't think he is even trying but a lot of them are like that. Especially after they have become stars.
I don't care about a movies ratings - I just want to enjoy myself so I pay little attention to the critics.
@LikeHaterade: Not really. It has 2 minute quarters with the only game UF Vs. OU, get it so I can kill you and the Gators
Go Hogs!!!
I really liked Benjamin Button, I even cried at the end (not a rarity for me), but my less emotional family members said it was a bad Forrest Gump ripoff.
@Allicrombie: The Pac-10, really Allie? This is SEC country, and our new TV contract will change everything in 3-5 years. By then there will be an SEC team playing for the NC every year. Wait, we already do
.@ragek1ll89: Year two with Arkansas. I play with Ark til I tire of the game then start a dynasty with Ark. State on Heisman for a challenge.
And I nearly cried at the end of Benjamin Button too!
but seriously imo she was, how she wasnt nominated Ill never know, it was such an amazing movie. Also Ive been dieing to get NCAA10 but now Im not sure if my next video game purchase will be that or the newest Fight Night.
i want to watch revolutionary road for leo....big leo fan and benjamin button for pitt
people always say my g/f and i act like an old married couple i dunno if its a good or bad thing
but we love each other when it counts
i always say we argue cause we care...
It is the year of the Tebow.
