- Contemporary Art and the Incarnation
ByFaith Magazine has a good article on Contemporary Art and the Incarnation.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Jason Segal was funny, I could have lived my life without seeing his junk though. Russell Brand took the show though, he was hilarious, great timing. But overall the movie was a disappointment. I'd been expecting Knocked Up 2 but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the Bond movies. I like the Sean Connery era, But Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan were too clean cut and high brow for me. Daniel Craig plays a more sadistic and heartless Bond. And the Poker game is fantastic, riveting.
