Weekend Update 6/11/2011

Not a thing worth posting lately.

Work is very busy. Long hours and a lot of travel. I have two buildings under construction (about $30M) and some additional minor projects / buildings (about $5M more). My projects are located in Kinston, Fayetteville, Raleigh and Asheville. I'm spread pretty thin right now.

Just finished watching True Grit. Excellent movie.



Might head out to see Super 8 at the theater this afternoon. Don't know if I'll go to the local theater in Sanford or drive all the way into Raleigh to see it at the IMAX.

Super 8 Addendum

Made the drive into Raleigh to see Super 8 at the IMAX.

Definitely a Spielberg film. While it won't become a classic like Close Encounters of the Third Kind - it is a roller coaster rip roaring fun time.

Think ET meets Cloverfield. In fact, it's the movie Cloverfield would have been if Spielberg had made it.

ET wants to go home. ET does not want to make friends. Do not get in ET's way. He is not, I repeat - NOT - warm and cuddly.

Plot and dialogue driven. So, don't spend the extra for the IMAX. Regular theater should be just fine.

And a head's up. Pay attention to the 'scenes' the kid's shoot. Their movie is played during the credits. Nice little 'film within a film' payoff at the end.

Oh, and a great late '70's pop soundtrack.
