Check it! #1

So I have always wanted to have a reoccurring segment on this here blog and I finally came up with one I liked. The new project, titled "Check it!" will feature things that I am enjoying at the time and would recommend to my friends. The plan is to be posting these maybe twice a month.

Music:

"The 59th Street Bridge Song"/Simon and Garfunkel
This song can always make me smile and appreciate life. It is the first song I play when I am making the long trip back home. I love it.

Stars
I am just recommending this band. I really like all of their songs so I can't just recommend one. Well, actually I can. They actually play my favorite song of all time "Your Ex-Lover is Dead." When you listen to it, make sure you listen to the lyrics. But the same thing could be said for all of their songs, the lyrics are just great.

Movies:

Slumdog Millionaire
This is one the best movies I have seen in a while. I was planning on telling what the movie was about and I actually wrote out a small summary about the movie, but it did not make sense, so I am just going to show what Fandango had to say about it: "Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out."
I mean the music to the trailor is by the Ting Tings so it must be cool right?
