Movie review: The Woodsman

This movie was made by the same guy who did "Monster's Ball" and stars Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, and Eve. It took a while for me to be able to rent this movie...after all, who wants to see a movie about a child molestor newly released from jail and trying to start over? Very interesting movie...

Failure to Launch review

Watched it this weekend, had an open mind about it. Definite chick flick. Cute, predictable, feel good. Leads were well chosen, definite chemistry. Premise: Matthew McConaughey stars as a 35 year old man who is still living at home. SJ Parker stars as a woman who gets paid to date men...

Chronicles: Volume 1 - Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan writes just the way I would imagine he would talk. He uses wild descriptions and his explanations left me more confused than when I started the paragraph. For example, early on in the book Dylan writes about hearing Roy Orbison's music on the radio and how it is the kind of music that...

Movie review: Four Minutes

"Four Minutes" is a movie which premiered on ESPN 2. Usually this would automatically lower expectations regarding quality but it was fairly well done. Since I enjoy running and enjoy watching the elite runners do their thing, seeing a movie made about Roger Bannister was a treat for me. Bannister...

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - John LeCarre

Phew. After starting John LeCarre's "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" weeks ago I finally finished the book last night. I had previously read his "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold" and thought it was fantastic, and was disappointed by "Absolute Friends". Thought I should love this one. Didn't. My...

The Eyes of the Dragon review

A novel by Stephen King This is an old book...but a goodie. I wanted something I could read quick before Poky sends me the F. Paul Wilson books. This was perfect...I read it in one week...and only really at bedtime. A departure for King, this book is written as a kind of children's story....

Persepolis 2 - Marjane Satrapi review

After reading Persepolis 2 I have come to the conclusion that while it is another excellent book from Marjane Satrapi, it doesn't hold quite the power of Persepolis. I suppose it couldn't. Persepolis focuses on the life of Marjane in Iran when she was 10 to 14 and when the Islamic Revolution was...

The Mysterious Case of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys review

The Mysterious Case of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys takes the reader back to the origin of the Hardy Boys Mystery Series and the Nancy Drew books. While the two series have Franklin W Dixon and Carolyn Keene listed as the authors, neither author actually exists are a person. They are both...

Shark Tale: not really a review

I'll admit it. I only watched the first 20 minutes of the movie last night. It just wasn't any good. I think the problem that I'm running into is that in animated movies where the characters are animals, they should act as much like animals as possible. Like Finding Nemo. But with Shark Tale, this...
