True Love Will Find You in the End
Well, I never thought I'd have a Daniel Johnston song on my ipod, but I've been obsessed with this simple, hopeful yet melancholic track. If you haven't already seen the excellent documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," which is a portrait of the manic-depressive singer/songwriter/artist, then I highly recommend you get yourself a copy and take a look.

Untitled Ancient Rome Project Gets Title!
A year ago, I wrote a little piece for a website called Ancientvine. I never heard back about whether or not the track was ever used. Turns out, it was! And the video has racked up a not-too-shabby viewership of almost 8,000! Take a listen, if you haven't already:
Sonic Unleashed OST - The World Adventure
Although the recently released Sonic Unleashed was panned by most critics for it's frustrating "werehog" gameplay sections, at least the soundtrack appears to be top-notch (and taking a few pointers from Super Mario Galaxy). I highly recommend this track "The World Adventure" to sonic fans and big orchestra fans alike!

Favorite Film Scene -- 12 Agnry Men
"12 Angry Men" is one of my favorite plays and movies of all time and Lee J Cobb's acting in this final scene is one of the reasons I love it.
I recently watched "12," the Russian remake directed by Nikita Mikhalkov. The acting is also pretty impressive and I enjoyed picking out some of the similarities (right down to cast lookalikes!) but I found the pacing a bit slow. I had almost given up ...when I got to the ending, which has been completely rewritten. If you decide to watch "12," make sure you wait around for the ending. It's worth it.
