Israel Houghton - "Just Wanna Say"
The first single from Israel Houghton's The Power Of One finally gets a video. He's definitely in on the OutKast reference.
Plans For The Weekend #1
I decided a few years ago that I would not wait for someone special to come into my life before I started to live it. Ergo, every Saturday, I try to find an excuse to get out of my apartment, even if it means just going to Chapters or Indigo and reading the latest magazines. Entertainment Weekly, People, and Cosmopolitan are particular favourites of mine.
Whenever time and money can be spared, I also like to catch a flick - usually by myself, I might add. Last weekend, I saw State Of Play, which I found to be an intelligent movie with a witty script full of memorable one-liners. This weekend, I'm going to check out Earth, the new Disneynature flick which focuses on the journeys of three animal families. Obsessed is also coming out this Friday, but depending on the critical consensus at sites like MetaCritic and Rotten Tomatoes, I'll wait until next weekend to see it. It probably shares similarities with Fatal Attraction, so that's likely one strike against it.
I'm not a spendthrift by any means, although I've been known to splurge here and there. In light of that, I really like AMC Theatres' A.M.Cinema deal; if you watch a movie on a weekend or holiday at anytime before 12:00 p.m., you pay a discounted price. This price depends on the location, but at Yonge & Dundas 24 in Toronto, it's six dollars.
Keep in mind that Scotiabank Theatre is in fairly close proximity to AMC's downtown location, so these theatres compete each weekend for blockbuster releases. Sometimes, movies which initially open at Scotiabank end up at AMC's Yonge & Dundas location. I've seen this happen with Hancock, Quantum Of Solace (for which I waited forever to start playing at AMC, but I still got burned) and He's Just Not That Into You. You'd think that Scotiabank would win out most of the time, but last year, WALL•E started its run at AMC and played there for a good few months.
Other than the usual trip to church on Sunday, nothing else is planned at the moment.
