Song De La Semain

It's a bit late for the ol' "song of the week," but it can be a fun weekend listen-to instead. So without further ado I present.... Hitchin a Ride by Green Day! Green Day is easily my favorite band (besides the ever wonderful Beatles), so you will no doubt be seeing a lot of them. This song is one of my favorites from their older albums and is, for lack of better words, extremely catchy. It gives me that feeling of "I just wanna jump around a rock out," so I hope is does the same for you.

Going Green: Concert Review
It's hard to express my excitement through little black words on a computer, but Green Day has put on thee best shows I have ever seen in my life. Even my mother, who has been to many incredible rock concerts in her day, puts the band at the top of her list. I've only had the pleasure to see them live twice (this summer and last summer on their 21st Century Breakdown tour), but what I saw was absolutely mind blowing. This all sounds so cheesey, but if you have been to a Green Day show you will understand. Billie Joe Armstrong has the most energy and stage presence a rock star could possibly possess. You can tell the band lives for the fans and loves audience participation. Not mention, they sound flawless live. I don't care what kind of music you like or what you expect from a concert: Green Day will devour your expections.

All Hallow's Eve: A Night of Ghouls, Fright, and Movies

My Halloween weekend was somewhat of a bore, but I did manage to see a plethora of excellent and not-so-excellent horror films. I managed to watch Rob Zombie's Halloween, the original Halloween, Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) , The Strangers, The Ruins, and tid bits of cheesey made for TV movies, in a matter of two days. These were all mind numbing and entertaining, but the only movie I saw this weekend that was truly worth my while was Paranormal Activity 2.

As a prequel to the first Paranormal Activity, the creepiness of the film focuses on the homemade effect of the camera work. I know some people to find it nauseating, but in this case it entirely added to the eeriness. I'm not gonna lie, I am 100% aware of the visual effects and scripted writing, but there's still a part of me that believes it's actual footage. Or maybe I'm just paranoid because the supposed haunting takes place in my hometown of San Diego. Either way, the film has some gnarly scares that make the best of us jump out of our seats. Even the simple scares like kitcken cabinets opening or doors slamming on their own were enough to make me jumpy when I got home. The film is extremely slowing in the beginning (which might bother those seeking non-stop action), but I liked getting to know the characters and the feeling of intense tension building up to the terrifying climax. If you're looking for a chilling tale with a happy ending, this movie is not for you, but fear loving individuals like myself: you're in for an awesome time.
