http://eknutson.blogspot.com/2011/03/month-of-video-games-day-16-game-with.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. Month of Video Games Day 16: Game with the Best Cutscenes. I heaped a lot of praise. On the Metal Gear Solid series for my Best Character post, and I do think that the series is pretty genius and that, at its core, it has things to say that are important and universal. What does it mean to be a patriot? Where are technology and the information age taking us? Why is nuclear proliferation so dangerous? Day 16: Game with the Best Cutscenes. Metal Gear Solid 4. Improving on the hilari...

A Briefcase Full of Blues: 30 Days of Gaming: Day 26: Best Voice Acting
http://eknutson.blogspot.com/2011/04/30-days-of-gaming-day-26-best-voice.html
Tuesday, April 05, 2011. 30 Days of Gaming: Day 26: Best Voice Acting. Day 26: Best Voice Acting. I could have gone back to the well once more and written about Metal. Again, because the voice acting has really been pretty excellent throughout the series and Snake, of course, has one of the most recognizable voices in games. On Day 26 of 30, though, I'm gonna talk about a game that I haven't gotten to yet but that absolutely deserves to be mentioned something in this thing. The Dammit, They Tried Award:.

A Briefcase Full of Blues: Best Movies of 2008
http://eknutson.blogspot.com/2009/01/best-movies-of-2008-short-version.html
Wednesday, January 07, 2009. Best Movies of 2008. 1 The Dark Knight. A powerful character driven drama with excellent performances by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Merryl Streep. Intentionally opened ended, its a movie you can discuss at length long after you're done watching it. Led by a great performance by Sean Penn, it tells of the rise and fall of the nation's first openly gay public official. Incredibly prescient in the wake of the passage of Proposition 8 in California. Has another fantastic perform...

A Briefcase Full of Blues: January 2011
http://eknutson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. The Social Network (* *1/2). Is a well-acted, well-written, interesting movie, but it's also a movie that just won the Golden Globe for Best Picture and seems poised to win the Oscar as well, and with that in mind I found the movie a bit. Esque descent into isolation as he makes the wrong choices about who to trust. Basically, I'm not sure I see the same complexities in the movie that others do. Is it an entertaining watch? In my player for another watch than Social Network.

Monday, May 30, 2011. Sidney Lumet Movies: Network. After he died earlier this year, TCM devoted a night to showing Sidney Lumet movies, and so I used the opportunity to catch two of his movies that I hadn't seen all the way through before: Network. And Dog Day Afternoon. UBS knows they have a hit on their hands when Beale shows up on the set a fidgety, sweaty mess and delivers the now famous " I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!
