I have experienced an unusally large amount of karaoke lately. Here, Erik and I belt out “Viva Las Vegas” at Kerstin’s birthday

Rented “Road to Perdition” last night. After watching it, I felt like I had just seen a very expensive facsimile of a good movie. It has all the right ingredients for a fatalistic piece about the inevitably of fate and the paths of bad men: well-acted parts, dramatic full orchestra original score, high contrast well-composed shots, and long build ups punctuated with graphic cinematic violence. Something just failed to click, though, due to a somewhat contrived plot where important details seemed to be to overtly presented to the viewer. The ending was apparent from the beginning and the hours it took to get there just weren’t worth it.
