Madness: A Bipolar Life

by Marya Hornbacher

Read the book! (rated 2 stars)

All the King's Men

by Steven Zaillian

The WORST movie based on a book EVERRRRRRRR. That being said, the movie by itself is very confusing and choppy. It’s hard enough to understand the southern drawl (at least to a NYer) but to hear them talk politics and personal problems that aren’t explained? Forget it! Read the book. And then, if you have a couple hours to waste, maybe put the movie on. Maybe it was just hard to get through after spending at least a dozen hours getting through the 600+ page novel…but after learning Jack Burden’s story, it’s a shame to see it’s never really told in the movie, despite the 2 hours that it drags on without making any sense.

Blehhh (rated 2 stars)

L' enfant

by Jean-Pierre Dardenne

All the descriptions of this movie made it sound like it was about selling children on the black market. That part was like…10 minutes of the whole film. I understand it was indie, but there was no real development there.

A story about "Scary Movie 4 (Unrated Widescreen Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 15:23:53 GMT

Scary Movie 4 (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

I’m sorry, but it’s hard to keep coming up with good spoofs, and the Scary Movie series isn’t THAT bad! If you haven’t seen both “War of the Worlds” and “The Grudge” (at least…having seen “Saw” helps too) then no, it won’t be funny. But you have to appreciate the random brand of humor for what it is…and not compare it to other comedies. Honestly, I thought this one was 10 times better than SM 3, which was a spoof on a NON-SCARY movie…oysh.

A story about "Tomorrow, Maybe"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 21:49:41 GMT

Tomorrow, Maybe

by Brian James

Written in “thought” speak…like there are periods and sentences and stuff, but it reads like the mental process. It get’s a little annoying, and the book pretty much drags on. There’s a very thin plot, but if you’re under 16, it’s probably interesting…

For one of the few “kids on the streets” books out there, it wasn’t terrible.

How "smarties" changed my life

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 04:08:39 GMT

smarties

by Nestlé

Smarties, if asked for in the US, will get you cheap-ass little sugar bits that come in pinata and cheap candy mixes.

But if you go to the UK or Canada, you will get the most amazing little candy coated chocolate that money can buy.

I definately buy $15 worth every time I’m up in Ontario ^_

A story about "The Dark Hours"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 01:16:56 GMT

The Dark Hours

by Paul Fox

A bit confusing.

Medical. Psychological. Horror. Gore. An overall indie feel, like there’s an unspoken storyline.

Leaves a little too much to the imagination…maybe I missed something, but it ended and I had a very minute understanding of what happened.

But then again, that makes me want to watch it again…does that make it good??

How "Accutane" changed my life

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 22:21:05 GMT

Accutane

My skin was not the deep cystic type of acne that responds to anti-biotic type pills. I had this rashy, every-pore-is-clogged, red acne. I was on Accutane (ranging from 10 mg, up to 40 mg [I’m only 100 lbs]) for 6 months. My skin was AMAZING!! About 2-3 months off of it, my skin started breaking out again, but nowhere near as bad. It was enough to put me back on, and I’m now at 50 mg, month 4 of a 5/6 month cycle. My skin is really clear. The only side effect I have is really dry/chapped lips. Easy to fix. It’s nice to have clear skin for the first time since I was 8…

A story about the last time I consumed "Uno"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Wed, 29 Mar 2006 15:46:12 GMT

Uno

by Mattel

I play UNO with my therapist while we talk. It’s relaxing, and fun to win ^_

I want to start an “UNO League,” as dorky as it sounds. It would be cool to have nationwide competitions…but it’s not so much a game of skill as it is of chance…but w/e. It’s fun to slam the last card down!

A story about "The Forgotten"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 22:58:16 GMT

The Forgotten

by Joseph Ruben

I only watched the extended version with alternate ending, so I don’t know how the theatrical cut was. But I liked it. Lots of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat.

A story about "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Sun, 12 Feb 2006 22:56:01 GMT

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

by Marcus Nispel

The blood is so obviously fake, it made me upset. Putting Jessica Biel in with not-well-known actors/actresses was a mistake. But overall, a decent horror/gore flick. Semi-based on a true story so that earns TTCM some points.

A story about "Half Light"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 03 Feb 2006 01:46:11 GMT

Half Light

A little too “twisty” for me. It’s neat if you’re into ghost stuff, and it’s fairly original. Well made, don’t get me wrong…just a bit hard to follow if you miss any of the beginning.

A story about "Death to Smoochy (Widescreen Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 03:24:57 GMT

Death to Smoochy (Widescreen Edition)

My cousin is in this!! Well, she was 9 and a little kid in the audience of the “show”, but still.

A story about "The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 03:01:46 GMT

The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus 16-Ton Megaset

by Ian MacNaughton

Well, I haven’t seen them ALL yet, but my dad’s a huge fan and bought the set!

A story about "Sybil"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 02:55:08 GMT

Sybil

by Flora Rheta Schreiber

It does drag a bit towards the end…sort of teases you like “Is she better now? Now?” but it’s definately a classic piece of psychological non-fiction.

A story about "Ma Vie En Rose"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:54:23 GMT

Ma Vie En Rose

by Alain Berliner

It’s so touching. Ludovic is adorable as a girl. French w/ English subtitles, but easy to follow.

A story about "Uptown Girls"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:53:43 GMT

Uptown Girls

by Boaz Yakin

Don’t buy it…find someone with movie channels and watch it cuz it’s been on EVERY FREAKIN’ CHANNEL for the last month.

A story about "The Silence of the Lambs (Widescreen Special Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:51:28 GMT

The Silence of the Lambs (Widescreen Special Edition)

by Jonathan Demme

A classic! You’ll hear quotes and references EVERYWHERE! You’re missing out if you haven’t seen this psychological thriller.

A story about "Requiem for a Dream (Director's Cut)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (sarah!) — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 15:48:42 GMT

Requiem for a Dream (Director's Cut)

Graphic. Real. If you have a weak stomach, I would NOT recommend this. At least the ending.
