Movies:
He’s Just Not That Into You Thank god I saw this at a free screening Jacki snagged, because if I had paid for it...man. There are no words for how much this movie annoyed me. In fact, I think Jacki’s sighs throughout the film were the best part. First of all, I wanted to slap the main character across the face and yell “you are a freakin idiot! You are making women across America look bad!” Secondly, I think this movie in general made PEOPLE look bad. I think this is the kind of movie that single women will like because it will make them feel better, and that is about it.
Dear Jack: The Journey of Andrew McMahon I have been waiting for this documentary to be released for 2 years now. And it STILL hasn’t been released-no one on the internet has any idea what the hell happened to it. Except for me. I am lucky enough to have Jim as a friend, who saw the words “Jacks Mannequin” on a DVD in the free bin at his office, and without even knowing what he was in posession of, picked it up for me. The poor kid was taken aback, to say the least, when I pretty much started crying when he told me what he had. The film was INTENSE. Two minutes and 44 seconds in and I was already crying. Thank god I knew how it ended (since, you know, the kid is touring again!) or I never would have been able to make it through. Such a great film.
Books:
4th of July - James Patterson My mom gave this to me. I’m not sure why. But I read it anyway, in about 2 days. It was one of those books that I will retain absolutely nothing from…
T is for Trespass - Sue Grafton I have been reading all of the Sue Grafton alphabet books since I was a teenager- my mom would always pass them on to me after she had read them. Although it always annoyed me that they took place in the 80’s because I guess that’s when she wrote the first one and even a gazillion years later she needs to keep them in “real time” (this isn’t 24, Sue Grafton!), I was able to move past it and enjoy the books. Except that this one…sucked. Like, SUCKED. I usually read these books in about two hours, this time it took me almost a month because I would make it through 6 pages and then get so fed up I would hurl the book across the room. I think I might have to end the series at “T”, as sad as that may be.
