Fun. Hyper happy hoopla. As enervating as their previous effort. Part Elton John, part Bee Gees, part ’70s dancehall mirror ball. If that floats your boat, this is for you. (Balme: you will LOVE this album.)
No ups vs. downs: it’s all ups.

Big Screen: The Illusionist.
Dreamy and nostalgic. You have to give in to the magic. But if you do, it’s quite enjoyable. Edward Norton is great. Magnetic. Paul Giamatti is also good.
The one false note for me in the movie was really the Crown Prince’s moustache. Perhaps it was real? But it was crooked, and I wanted to leap up there and rip it off for him!
Big Screen: Last Kiss
It’s taken me awhile to get around to talking about this one. I really can’t recommend it.
I heard it described today as Garden State 2. I assure you, THAT it is NOT. Garden State being actually a pretty great movie. This being… well… Not.
Well acted, for what it was. The problems lie in the script/the plot/the actions.
Four “grown up” boys. Making bad decisions.
I certainly do not recommend seeing this on a date — I’d hate to witness the arguments afterward as to who made what mistakes and which ones were worse.
