This summer was a dry spell for good movies (as you can see by my recap)  however this fall/winter looks like it could save the year. The first big movie of the fall is Gravity starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney and the early reviews were incredible. 

One of our favorite shows in the last five years is Breaking Bad. Conceptually I never thought this show stood a chance. A high school science teacher who has cancer and decides to cook meth to make money for his kids. I mean really? How is that going to work?

But the master Vince Gilligan put together a masterpiece. Sadly the show ended this past weekend. Unlike many shows it went out on top with one of the better finales I've seen. It managed to tie up loose ends and give all of the characters satisfying conclusions. 

Almost every year I write a post about my most anticipated movies of the summer. 2013 was no different. You can even go back and read my post from then. For the first time though I am going to actually give a thumbs up or down on whether I actually liked the movie or not. 

At 27 years old and living in Southern California my entire life I have no excuse for never making the short journey (distance wise) to both Beverly Hills and the Griffith Observatory. Better then late then never. 

Jenn and I love Orange County so its not very often we journey out of our nest, but last Saturday (8/17) we decided it was time. We went first down to Beverly Hills and managed to get there without much traffic. Our iPhone's got us lost (nothing new there) but we managed to get there and even got free valet parking right on Rodeo Dr.   

This evening Jake and I got back from seeing The Spectacular Now an indie movie about High School kids falling in love. From the trailers you would have thought that this would have been a typical romantic comedy, but it was far from that. Within ten minutes you have some extremely deep and dark topics that make for a really interesting and engaging movie. 

A few days ago I posted the first Daily Show clip to ever hit WorldofJoel. Today I am going to break the same barrier but this time with The Colbert Report. A few nights a week Jenn and I sit down with our dinner and watch The Daily Show and if we are in the mood we also catch The Colbert Report.
