WORTH CONSUMING!

Absolutely trashy in a Borat kinda way, but hilariously funny.

A story about "Fat Girl: A True Story" — 1 year ago

Fast read at less than 200 pages. If you’re looking for a funny read, this is not it. Basically this is one woman’s autobiography and how she filled her empty life with food.

Be careful, the way she talks about food might make you hungry.

Was I the only one? — 1 year ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

Was I the only one who didn’t like this movie? I saw this in the theater with my husband and 7-year-old son when it first came out. I was utterly bored out of my mind during the entire thing. I looked at my watch more than once and even contemplated texting a friend during the movie.

There were a few parts that made me chuckle, but overall, I felt the movie was so predictable. I hate the fact that big name actors use their names to voiceover cartoons. The storyline and characters didn’t pull me in at all.

It seemed like all the funny parts were in the trailer, which made it seem funnier than what it was.

I think that if you like kung fu movies, you’ll like this better than I did. I have to say that I’m just not a Dreamworks fan. They only movies I can really stand from them is the Shrek series.

A story about "Angels & Demons" — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Eh. Angels & Demons was just so-so. I read The Da Vinci Code before this and they are so similar in writing style, plot and outcome.

In each book, there’s a protagonist (Langdon) who immediately gets the help of a pretty lady (Vittoria Vetra in A&D, Sophie Neveu in DVC) who is related to the first victim who gets murdered in the prologue, (father/daughter in A&D, grandfather/granddaughter in DVC) who then helps him fight against the sado-masochistic murderer who’s being fueled by an unknown antagonist.

You are lead to believe that both assassins in each book are expertly trained, yet this Harvard professor ends up being the demise of each one. After dodging death like 364 times, of course.

And the center of each book is a highly controversial, but real brotherhood; The Illuminati in A&D and Opus Dei in DVC. Both group which involves symbology and symmetry and ties to genuine historic sites.

In other words, Robert Langdon is a superhero in a Harris Tweed jacket who gets the girl in the end.

Don’t worry, I didn’t spoil the plot. There are plenty of twists and turns in his books, and even the most laziest of readers should figure this book out pretty much from the get-go. As someone else said, there is much foreshadowing and it doesn’t take a Harvard symbologist to figure out who’s the puppeteer.

With all that being said, it is enjoyable, it’s fast-paced and a good read if all you want is suspenseful fluff.

Wall-E - Pixar does it again — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Absolutely excellent movie. One of those that I can’t wait to purchase when it comes out on DVD. My husband, my 7 year old son and I all loved it. I even teared up twice.

Wall-E is a touching movie that reminded me slightly of ET in animated form. It kept us entertained from beginning to end.

It touched my heart. Go see it. Now.

A story about "A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive" — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

This book is a page-turning, heartbreaking, anger-inducing read about the author’s childhood enduring horrific physical and mental abuse. This is part 1 in a trilogy, in which he tells us about his early childhood up to around age 10 or 11. This story will make you really upset and angry at abusers and people who just stand by and watch abuse happen to helpless children.

I do not recommend this book if you were physically or mentally abused as a child unless you know what you are getting into.

Some scenes are graphic in nature.

Why I recommend "Like Blood Like Honey" — 1 year ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Love her debut CD. Found her on iTunes. Bought her CD for Christmas – LOVE it!

A story about "Doctor Who - Series 3" — 2 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

“Blink” is really good and quite creepy.

A story about "Doctor Who - Series 3" — 2 years ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

It just gets better and better and better…

I know a lot of people don’t like the new companion, Martha Jones, but I quite like her. I know it’s more obvious she’s mooney-eyed over him, but I still find her less annoying than Rose Tyler. I’m currently on episode 9 and will be very annoyed when I get to the end of the season which is fast approaching!

Open House — 2 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I picked this up because it is on Oprah’s book list. It’s a quick read at less than 300 pages, but utterly boring the entire way. The characters are extremely flat and strange. The only likeable people in this novel are Lydia and King.

It’s extremely predictable. The dialogue got on my nerves, especially the way that every other word is in italics. There were useless characters and situations (see: Lavendar Blue) that did not add to the plot, that is just page filler.

I did not like this book at all. Not even at one point.
