Best Movie of the Year

I talked this one over with Peter, I was like "hey man, I don't want to like poach on your territory or anything, but there's this sweet movie coming out that I want to talk about!" Peter was like "It's you're blog dude, just do whatever you want, I don't give a..." Well I could kind of tell that this irratated him, but I know he doesn't like talking about movies until he's seen them, so I was like "Pete, you don't mind if I call you Pete right? I'm going to write about this movie whether you like it or not. You need to pull it together and realize other people have opinions too." Needless to say, he stomped off and I think he's still pouting, what's you going to do, right...

"Black Snake Moan" is a great idea. Hopefully the actual movie delivers on the promise of the trailer. Samuel L. Jackson picks up where his Jules Winfeild character from "Pulp Fiction" left off... An older man, living a quiet life in the rural south steps outside one day to find a troubled young woman in need of help. Perhaps the trailer gives too much away, but it sure seems like an original idea, and what better casting could you ask for?

My guess is that opening day, Peter will be at the theater, and soon thereafter you'll get some long winded review on how he was dissapointed because the lighting reminded him more of "Reservior Dogs" than "Pulp Fiction"... I'll be like "Get a life Pete, that movie was awesome, stop being such a square (as I draw a square with my two index fingers in the air).
