Hibachiiii!!!!

My friend Will Burgan, "the master of ceremony" just came back from his business trip the other day, so we went to our favorite lunch place, Hibachi Buffet. You may have seen the video I posted some time ago about our trips to Hibachi. We usually try to go every week and are usually successful. I cannot fully explain why I love it so much except that it is a Chinese buffet which I tend to like anyway, it has a lot of variety in terms of food selection, it is clean and very nice, and it is a reasonable price for what you get. I also have a discount card which I get a free drink every time I go. I also enjoy meeting with ChillWilliWill because we get to discuss a variety of things ranging from what is going on in our lives to church and Bible discussions.
What place do you and your friend go to on a regular basis just to talk and enjoy a good meal?

Interstellar Becomes Early Favorite of Movies in 2015

 

Christopher Nolan does it again! He has become one of my favorite directors of the past decade having directed The Dark Knight and Inception, two movies I absolutely love. Now, he has given us another amazing movie, Interstellar. I was not initially interested in this movie because the trailers did not lead me to believe that it could come close to his other great movies; however, after seeing it tonight, I was way off in my opinion. The movie features the earth in a post-apocalyptic setting that that has a 1960's feel to it. A former NASA astronaut turned corn farmer played by Matthew McConaughey is lead to a hidden NASA base from hints provided by a "ghost" in his daughter's room. NASA recruits him for a mission that will send their team though a wormhole near Saturn to find a new planet that the human race can go to. The early scenes build the characters well before the father takes off with his team to find a new planet. The score for the movie is chilling and helps add tension to parts of the movie. Hans Zimmer also knows when to not have any music playing to add to the silent sound in space much like 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact, this movie has many similarities to 2001 while not being too much like the movie. The thing that stands out most in this movie is the visual effects because you do not realize that there are visual effects in this movie. It is that good. I had to stop and realize that a scene in the movie had to have visual effects because it could not be real, but it looked just like the real thing. There is no wonder why it won the Oscar for Visual Effects. 

There is so much I would like to comment on, but like many Christopher Nolan films, there are many surprises in this movie (even if they are easy to figure out). So, I will not mention much more about this movie other than it has one of those big scenes that make you want to see the movie just to see that part of the movie. This is easily my favorite movie of 2015 so far, but it is still early. If you have not seen this movie, you need to see it. If you can, go see it at the theaters before it is gone.

5/5 Stars
