i was hooked for most of the book. i liked how we followed the villain from nearly the beginning but still didn’t have all the answers. i couldn’t put it down when Dusty and Martie were attacked by the two thugs. i knew that Skeet and Fig had to be wearing the vests. i didn’t expect things to end the way they did. Pretty good all around, and as it’s only my third foray into his work i think i’d order my opinion of his books that i have read as Taking best, False Memory next, Velocity last. i love Koontz’ descriptive style and the way he plays off modern events. Once again, i think this would make a great film.

i am a total LotR fan but have never gotten around to watching any other Peter Jackson flicks. i suddenly realized that it’s been like two years since this came out and i still haven’t seen it! so i put it at the top of my Netflix queue. The first time i stuck it in i was distracted and bored. The next night there were no distractions so i decided to give it another try. Let’s face it, the first part drags and isn’t exciting. But once Kong kidnaps Ann the action never stops and this film gets a whole lot better. i knew there were dinosaurs, but how could it be better than Jurassic Park? i was wrong; when Kong takes on three T-Rexes at once, all the while clutching Ann, it gets way more exciting. And then all the bugs coming out of the cracks… shudder. A tad unbelievable, long as is Jackson’s trademark, but blows you away with it’s beauty and heart. i could have done without the love story, but well acted all around.

i’m not into the horror genre, but i am a fan of Shia’s and watch his films whenever i can. i didn’t know that Moss was in this, but she’s a great actress, too. This movie was a good mix of comedy, heart wrench, and fear. i would totally recommend.

The special effects were great, but everyone in the future was saved because a girl cried on a bunny? i don’t really understand or agree with the major premise of the movie i guess.

What the heck?

So she made him turn around and that’s why he dies?!? If she wouldn’t have called him he would have lived. i thought that he wouldn’t get decapitated because he was ducking for the cell phone, not that he was going to blow up! Stupid ending.

This movie had a better story line and Dominic Purcell as the ultimate baddy. i loved the dogs… though Reynold’s pubes were a bit too graffic for my taste. i actually liked Biel in this film, which was a new experience for me, but i totally digged her Oakley’s, outfits, bikes, and music. i didn’t really understand the end, though: what happens to Blade now?

Was okay, but not great. Could have been a lot worse. i always hoped that the uncle would turn out not to be dead… They made several changes for the movie, but whatev.

The first time i saw season three i had come over to the Vaughn side and was so pissed off when his wife turned out to be Covenant. i just recently got the dvds and watched the first two seasons right before this one and since they reaffirmed my preference for Tippin i didn’t hate her so much this time around, even found myself regretting that they had turned her into a baddie. i wish they would have brought Tippin back as an agent because his one mission with Sydney was awesome. And of course this ep is full of all things Sark, something i fully appreciate. Really good, thought not quite as great as seasons one and two… still the bomb, though.

i’ve heard some people complain that only season one of Alias is any good but i disagree. Season two is nearly as good and is very interesting in it’s own right. The relationship development is wonderful and of course i could never get enough of Mr. Sark… even if he was a bad guy.

Out of the blue i decided to rewatch these and i love them more now than i did when they were on the air. i still wish Sydney would have ended up with will but i like Francie more. i love Marshall and Weiss more than ever. i wish the show could have stayed fresh like this throughout its run.
