Movies:
New in Town SAVE YOURSELF.
Bedtime Stories This was not bad. Granted, it was really for kids, and therefore kind of silly, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
The Proposal Hmm. With Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds, I fully expected this to be the Greatest Romantic Comedy Of All Time. Instead, it was just...good. Honestly, not enough romance or comedy for me. But good.
The Hangover Again, from the way everyone was talking I thought this was going to be the Funniest Movie Of All Time. And that is why I hate hype. Because it was just...good. Enjoyable, I laughed a few times, but just...good.
Books:
The Doctor’s Wife - Elizabeth Brundage Nic lent me this book to read, and I will admit it sat on my shelf for at least 6 months before I finally said screw it, let’s give it a shot. It is a novel dealing with themes I feel like I would ordinarily avoid - abortion, activist groups killing abortion doctors, infidelity, evangelism, artists, sadness, chaos, drama, psychosis…but I have to say I could not put this book down. It grabbed me right from the beginning all the way to the very end. Nic, I have no idea where or how you found this book , but thanks!
A Death in Belmont - Sebastian Junger REALLY fascinating. Another Nic loaner- thanks! This is a true story about how the man arrested as the Boston Strangler turned out to be someone the authors mom had hired to work on their house. A really good in depth look at the case, the murders, the multiple trials and arrests, and his family.
Rough Weather - Robert B. Parker Parker's books have gone WAY downhill since I started reading them in highschool. This one was far better than the last few I read, but still took me less than 3 hours to read. I think that right there is the pure definition of “fluff reading”
Proof Positive - Philip Margolin Much better than the last Margolin book PG lent me, thank god, cuz I know he really likes them and therefore I want to like them too! This one was quite enjoyable and at times I really did not want to put it down!
