So, we went to see Star Wars The Force Awakens finally.  We'd been waiting for the crowds to thin out a little.  It was a good movie and I enjoyed it, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed.  I guess I expected more based on all the hype and money it's made.

I caught the series premier of The Shannara Chronicles on MTv.  It followed Teen Wolf.  I have to admit, it has me hooked and looking forward to the next episode.  I'm a sucker for elfs, demons, and the fight to save any kingdom.  It doesn't hurt that all the actors playing the elfs in the show are super hot!  The Druid is also sexy....that ( Read more... )

Have you ever read a book that was fairly well written, but incredibly tedious to read?  Or spent several days reading a story with quite a few disappointing, eye-rolling scenes and an unsatisfactory ending?

Well, Taylor Leigh's book Long Division fit that bill for me.  I just finished this sci-fi m/m book about an evil corporation developing a ( Read more... )

We took the 6 year old to see We Bought a Zoo tonight. Originally, we were going to see The Adventures of Tin Tin. But, it turned out the one we had planned to see was 3-D (which didn't show that on the website), and I didn't have enough money for three 3-D tickets so we opted for the Zoo movie.

I am totally in love with the shows Hart of Dixie on the CW and Suburgatory on ABC. These shows are hilarious.

Hart of Dixie - if you have EVER lived in the south or, heck, even just passed on thru, I think you'll especially enjoy this show. It is hysterical, with tiny droplets of angst here and there. The characters (most of them) are so ( Read more... )

So I just got finished watching Tron: Legacy on TV. I didn't have a chance to catch it at the theater. The special effects were really awesome, especially the light cycles, and for that one reason, I kinda wish I'd shelled out the exorbitant cost for the movie experience. I really liked how they made Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner *hearts ( Read more... )

We went to see Apollo 18 this weekend. It was a sci-fi horror movie. The movie was filmed in such a way to seem like you're watching a 16mm old fashioned film. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me. I believe they inserted some actual old film footage of space missions to the moon within the film. It had a Blair Witch Project feel, ( Read more... )

I just recently purchased the available five chapters of a manga called Kiss Ariki, by the manga-ka Youka Nitta, from Amazon. I don't own a kindle, but am trying it through Kindle for the PC. It's a fairly expensive proposition ($2.99 per chapter) and once downloaded it seems smaller than the screen - I've had to zoom in several times, which ( Read more... )
