Film: 500 Days of Summer [Rating: 8/10]
While I admit that the story and characters were quite entertaining and well developed, I have to say that the real stars in this movie are the soundtrack and the cinematography/visuals. The latter manifesting itself in the form of amazing shots of Los Angeles’ Downtown area, and through various graphical effects, which I’m obviously a sucker for. As for the soundtrack, there were enough melodies thrown in per scene to keep a music junkie like myself singing throughout the whole movie. From The Pixies (during a karaoke scene) to The Smiths (the infamous elevator scene) the film makes it obvious that the creators of the film know the indie music scene as well as they knew their Downtown landmarks.
08.05.09 | Soft launch
What do you do with those breaks you have in between working, eating and sleeping? This is the result of two months worth of such breaks. Finally, a new Verdilak I like enough to give it a soft launch. I will not make any promises as to how often this space will be updated, but I will make every effort to keep the content as fresh as possible. Obviously, there is not much here right now. This is just the soft launch in order to test the theme, but I will promise you this, the workin’ section will definitely be done in the next couple of days. Having an online portfolio is the main reason why I even bothered to resurrect this domain.

Control is not convinced, but the computer has the evidence.
No need to abort, the countdown starts… 4… 3… 2… 1!
