I saw Dreamgirls last night. While my mom and younger sister complained through half the movie, personally, I enjoyed it.

The story itself may not have been as tightly written as it could've been, but I didn't mind. The best part about it for me was the characters. They were all very well developed and very real -- just because they're based on ( Read more... )

Okay, wow. This issue is just so chock-full of... stuff. It's exciting.

( SPOILERS!!! )

Okay, issue #2 is even more awesome than issue #1.  Action, plottiness, character development, it’s all there.

First of all, a big YAY! For Giles and how he’s drawn - not freaky and old. It looks like he’s in Eastern Europe, and I really hope Joss makes use of that location. It looks like a huge number of  Slayers he’s in charge of. Seems like he’ ( Read more... )

I downloaded a bunch of generic emo songs by bands I've never heard of from this site that has legal free downloads, hoping to find something I liked. I'm really into "Curtain Call" by Cheswick, and "Saying Sorry" by Hawthorne Heights ( Read more... )

So, I come all the way downtown in the driving snow, only to find that class in canceled. But that's okay! Because it meant I could read my shiny new graphic novels!

Reviews are under the cuts.

Tales of the Slayers is a wonderful collection of stories that delve into the meaning of Slayerhood, and its inherent loneliness.

Joss' pieces are the best, ( Read more... )

I'm eating this President's Choice frozen dinner for lunch. It's the Indian Chicken Biryani. I don't know what the President was smoking when he chose this recipie. It's funny. It's hard to describe exactly why I don't like it, but I don't. ... it's all grainy, for one thing. And I don't know what biryani is supposed to taste like, but the ( Read more... )

I just watched the first two episodes of the new CBC show Little Mosque on the Prarie, which can be seen online here:
episode 1
episode 2

It's about a small Muslim community in the town of Mercy, which I think is supposed to be in Saskatchewan, and the trials and travails they face. It doesn't shy away from touchy issues, dealing with prejudice and ( Read more... )

Tabernac! My half-sister got us "Bon Cop, Bad Cop" for Christmas. It was the highest grossing Canadian movie of the year. About two police detectives, one, a straigt-laced Torontonian gunning for a desk job, the other, a devil-may-care Montrealer. They're partnered together to solve a rash of murders plaguing the hockey community. It plays off ( Read more... )

So, I saw Wicked about a month ago, and absolutely loved it. I listen to the cast recording far too often for my own good, as you might be able to tell if you check to see what I'm listening to when I post. Here is my review/random thoughts/ravings about the show.
