Dangerous Liaisons

by Stephen Frears

WORTH IT!

A review of "The Eight"

The Eight

by Katherine Neville

If you enjoyed the DaVinci Code (the book, not the movie!) or Angels & Demons, enjoy twists on history and mystery this is a must read. Trust me, don’t look at the page count, pick it up, start reading and you’ll be hooked.

A story about "Ring Around the Rosie"

Ring Around the Rosie

by Rubi Zack

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. The directing is horid, the acting sucks worse, and the plot, oh, wait, there is none. Save yourself the trouble and don’t waste your time.

A story about "Hackers"

Hackers

by Iain Softley

This was a comedy right? If you have any computer knowledge take it out of your mind before watching this. If not, you’ll be likely to throw more flags on it than a monday night football game. Worth seeing for a laugh though, including the usual gratuitous Angelina boob shot.

Good way to spend a Sunday afternoon (rated 4 stars)

Flyboys

by Tony Bill

This wasn’t the greatest movie I’ve ever seen but it’s worth a shot. There is a valid plot, action mixed with romance, characters are easy on the eyes, with a bit of history. I am not sure how true to life it actually is, as I wasn’t there, but if I had nothing better to do on another Sunday I would see it again.

Why I recommend "Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman: What Men Know About Success that Women Need to Learn"

Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman: What Men Know About Success that Women Need to Learn

by Gail Evans

This is one of the first books I’ve found that is not designed for the “woe is me woman”. The idea of a glass ceiling is thrown to the side and the game that is the business world is embraced. There are no references to men being better or pushing women away, it is the plain simple truth that there are differences in the world that women must adapt to. Many things covered women already know, the difference here, is how to embrace and conquer them.

In short... (rated 5 stars)

Requiem for a Dream (Director's Cut)

This is the most beautifully disgusting movie I have ever seen. Absolutely brilliant.

Inspiration, no matter the goal (rated 5 stars)

It's Not How Good You Are, Its How Good You Want to Be: The World's Best Selling Book

by Paul Arden

Although designed for sales, how better put than “Don’t look for the next opportunity. The one you have in hand is the opportunity.” Very quick read that will comfortably reside on my desk for those critical days in need of a pick-me-up.

I am now dumber (rated 1 star)

Air Bud Spikes Back

by Mike Southon

So not that there is anything good on tv on a Sunday, but this is the worst thing I’ve ever subjected my brain to. I’m now going to have to spend the rest of the day regaining the 10 IQ points I lost staring in amazement at the lack of point portrayed in this attempt at a movie. It’s a good thing I only caught the last 30 min waiting for a good show to come on.

Why I recommend "Panera Bread"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Aphrodite10303) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:24:17 GMT

Panera Bread

Panera coffees are the best substitute for a hometown cafe. Starbucks is evil, so when they run your dive cafe into the ground, you have to find someone who can compete and you aren’t going to see go under in a week. Their WiFi is very helpful, especially on a business trip and needing to get your internet fix. My best suggestion, try an Iced Chai or their Cafe Mocha with skim milk, extra shot of espresso, and a hint of caramel- wonderful way to wake up in the morning.

A story about "The Crow - City of Angels (Collector's Series)"

The Crow - City of Angels (Collector's Series)

by Tim Pope

This movie never existed. It’s kinda like those middle Highlander movies I’ve heard tell about.

A review of "Lone Star State of Mind" (rated 5 stars)

Lone Star State of Mind

by David Semel

Come on, Joshua Jackson wearing nothing but Cowboy boots and a Cowboy hat sitting in a bathtub? It doesn’t get much better. Besides that, a country girl named “Baby” killing a country boy named “Tink”, well kind of. Great movie, you just have to embrace your redneck side.
