Speak

by Jessica Sharzer

I watched this with my teen daughter and it was an astoundingly wonderful movie.

Will have to read the book now.

Terry Bradshaw needs to make more movies (rated 5 stars)

Failure to Launch (Special Collector's Edition)

by Tom Dey

I hate football, but I love Terry Bradshaw. This movie would have failed without Terry Bradshaw and Kathy Bates.

Cute story, the ending fell a little flat, but overall it was good for a mindless 2 hours of entertainment.

I liked Failure To Launch WAY better than The Family Stone. However I stand firm in my opinion that SJP looked better before her nose job, hair lightening, weight loss and mole enhancement. I much prefer her “Square Pegs” look to her Carrie look.

Two thumbs WAY UP for Terry Bradshaw who hadn’t made a movie in 20+ years! He was hilarious!

Pleasy cheesy (rated 3 stars)

Even Now

by Karen Kingsbury

Bah! Why do I even bother picking up a book when KK has written it? I know it’s going to include simpering females, lies, illegitimate children, years of loss and separation, death, and men with no spines.

Dogmatic repitition (rated 3 stars)

Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems

by Cesar Millan

This book took me forever to read. While I enjoyed hearing about Cesar’s childhood in Mexico and his immigration to the US I grew tired of his dogmatic (pun intended) reminders that dogs are not people and that the US is ruining their dogs with too much affection. I expected more solutions and less lecture. For someone who comes off as so direct this book just wandered in little circles.

Seriously I could have read chapters 1, 2 and 7 and gotten just as much as I did reading the whole book.

A Must READ! (rated 5 stars)

Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog

by John Grogan

A delightful read for anyone who has loved a “bad” dog. You will laugh out loud and of course at the end you will shed a tear. This is one of those books you end up reading excerpts from out loud to your spouse.

Tending Roses

by Lisa Wingate

I really wanted to like this book but I couldn’t finish it. It just bored me to tears even though I was connected to the characters and loved the plot line it just too long getting to where it was going and at some point I fell off the wagon.
