Reading the book…

who else? I know some of you are either close to finished or are already finished. So, I guess we should start discussing or rather, continue discussing. I am on page 33 currently and it’s GREAT! The guy definitely has a way with words plus it’s about Cleveland, plus I’m a sucker for stories about death (what is that?), plus it has already talked about many places I”m curious to explore, plus so many people I know and love are also enjoying it. Anyhow, nice easy read but I am still finding it hard to find time to actually read. damn kids.

In a word... bad. Christopher Walken made the movie for what it was, but even then he couldn't save it ultimately. I'd say I chuckled at some parts, but I also noticed I've forgotten the entire plot and even those jokes in just 2 days.

Another great movie by David Aaronofsky (director of Pii & Requiem for a Dream). While revolving around a love story that spans three different places in time, he seemingly hints at the possibility of enlightenment and our ability to truly be at peace.

So it wasn't the robots looking different, or the love story, or the kids that ruined this film for me. It was every single bad joke that riddled the entire movie. The scene at the kids house was particularly painful to watch. I will be watching 'Transformers the Movie' from 1984

Compared to Pixar's animation standards the Dreamworks team has never really amazed me with the quality of their stiffer 3D models super flat textures and often strangely jointed rigs. It's a cute story that really relies on the voice talent to sell the jokes - but I have heard the 2nd is much better than the first.

Even if you think Michael Moore tilts the view and discussion in his favor a considerable amount it is impossible to deny the worlds citizens in this movie doing good, being sick, and acting greedy. The best part is after watching it if you still don't believe the system is broken you can access public records to verify most of the more amazing facts!

A Classic Alli and I recently saw again -- really started a trend with multiple characters having deeply complex lives (in this case all with 'Daddy' issues). I can't help but think it acted as a pre-cursor for shows such as Nip/Tuck and Desperate Housewives.
