Book 26 - Flesh Circus by Lilith Saintcrow (it's not what it sounds). This is the fourth in the the Jill Kissmet series. Good - not as good as the last two, but still pretty dark and enjoyable, and I do like Saintcrow's writing.

Movie 22 - Avatar. daddy_guido was kind enough to make sure that I didn't have to sit through this one alone. The story was ( Read more... )

Book 25 - The Doomsday Brunette by John Zakour and Lawrence Ganem. I though The Plutonium Blonde was more entertaining, but I still liked this one. Eh - I guess Blondes do have more fun...

Movie 21 - Terminator Salvation. Let's see, Christian Bale, shit blowing up, and Sam Worthington repeatedly slipping into the Aussie accent when the scenes ( Read more... )

First the movie - Cloverfield (which has been sitting near my TV from Netflix for forever and a day). Actually, not the worst movie I've ever seen (but then again, that's quite a hill to climb). Pretty entertaining, especially if you're doing something else while it's on ( Read more... )

I was very tired tonight after cleaning the yard with the kids (still some work to do there, but at least a good chunk of it is done) - so I thought I'd find something braindead to watch after the kids went to bed while I finished the laundry. So, when we ran up to get yard waste stickers, I stopped by Redbox and got GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra ( Read more... )

Move first - movie 18 of 30 - Pineapple Express. Dude - funny, funny movie. I love Seth Rogan ( Read more... )

Sorry this one is actually from LAST weekend, not this past weekend.

I watched Taken with Liam Neeson. I really enjoyed it - no spoilers here, although if you know NOTHING about the movie, you should skip over the rest of this ( Read more... )

I took the day off today, and after running errands and so forth, I went over to watch one of Aidan's karate lessons, which is a rare treat for me. Afterward I picked up The Tatum and took them to dinner (ok, Culvers, but we sat IN the restaurant, so for them it was going out) and then we ran off to go see Ice Age 3. Cute, funny, entertaining.

This was the week of embarrassment.

Movie 15 of 30 was Twilight. I'll wait here while you mock.... done? no?.... how about now? Ok, come on, I know some of YOU saw it too (I'm looking at YOU jer_It was - well, a teeny bopper movie about vampires. And as angsty as the vampire, Edward, was... CRIPES the main character was worse. I started to wonder ( Read more... )

I took the kids to see Up today. It is probably the best Pixar movie to date. The kids LOVED it ( Read more... )

Another one down - Transporter 3.

Given the crap I've taken on my previous movie comments, I'm not saying anything about this one other than:

Jason Statham has one hell of a six pack goin' on. And you get to see it MANY times in this one.
