American Dreamz (nightmare) Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
American Dreamz Starring Hugh Grant, Mandy Moore, Dennis Quaid, Willem DaFoe Directed by: Paul Weitz (and written by him,too) Rated PG-13 for brief strong language and some sexual references 107 minutes ...Against all my better judgment, I am delivering the requested review on this movie. If you loved it, so sorry. Again, I cite the "Biased" portion of my blog title. You asked what I thought, you've been warned.Again I was duped. I watched the previews for American Dreamz and thought to myself, now that is going to be a good movie. I loved about About A Boy- one of my ever after favorites- and here we were again, directed by same director Paul Weitz, it was a snazzy-looking little flick, an ironic take on American Idol-type television shows, also with the star of About A Boy, Hugh Grant, who inexplicably cracks me up at odd times. Present as well, Mandy Moore, who made me tinkle myself with her performance in Saved! Not to mention the secure place on my Keep Shelf that her t


Is This REALLY My Life?/Co-Worker Hate Blog Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Is This REALLY My Life?/Co-Worker Hate Bloghttp://linka72.blogspot.com/Blog about her life (mostly work life)and what she hates in it.Good laughs.Welcome to another addition of Blog Review Sunday. First of all, I have to ask, who the hell gets a cold in August? The kind that keeps you up half the night hacking away and leaves your head feeling stuffed full of cotton ... err, no, that'd be snot, actually.... makes your bones ache, causes you to sneeze on your keyboard and then go, "ewww...", wipe it off, and promptly sneeze again? Well, the answer is ME. I do.So I'm grumpy and sick and I have to keep sniffing and sniffing to keep the annoying little stream of moisture from running out of my left nostril (the right one is plugged). Too much information? Sorry, but I believe in being open with my readers. So I sound like a coke head, SNIFF sniff SNIFF, I look like an alien with my swollen eyes and red nose, no actually, make that Santa after a bender, and I cough like a lung can


Green Street Hooligans Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Green Street Hooligans (formerly known as Hooligans)starring: Elijah Wood, Charlie Hunnam Directed by: Lexie Alexander rated R for: brutal violence, pervasive language and some drug use. 109 minutesIn the beginning of originally titled Hooligans, now known as Green Street Hooligans, Matt (Wood), our presumable hero, is a wimpy, almost-graduating (2 months away) Harvard student. Why do I harshly call the boy "wimpy"? Welp, because when his upper-class roomie hides his upper-class stash of cocaine in Matt's stuff and subsequently allows him to take the fall for it, Matt not only doesn't fight, he doesn't even argue with the roommate's contention that he has a lot more to lose, because of his family and his father's re-election. Matt gets his butt kicked out of school, and with ten thousand dollars of guilt money from Coke Boy, he just meekly packs up his shit and flies off to England, to visit his sister and her family. There, he gets the education that Harvard couldn't


The Vampires Memoirs Book Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
The Vampire Memoirs by Tracy Briery (co-authored by the character in the book wink wink)published by Pinnacle books (2000)432 pagesIt occurred to me the other day that I have only been reviewing the good-to-great books that I read on here. I haven't yet mentioned the mediocre-to-really, really shitty books that I read. And it's inevitable that when you read as many books as I do, you're going to find some clunkers. Now, the latest in the long line of idiocy that I cannot believe ever got published and where is this publisher when I want to submit a stinky manuscript…. is called the Vampire Memoirs. I should have been warned by the 99 cent sticker on the cover. I should have been warned by the cover art, a sexy-looking, waving-haired brunette with a sultry pout and two, needle-sharp teeth protruding from between her luscious red lips. I should have been warned when I started the journey and within the first page or two read that this chick was "living" in A.D. 325 when she

Celebrate good times... yeehaw! I've been awarded the BESTEST BLOG OF THE DAY for Thursday, October 26, 2006. I knew it was only a matter of time before my genius was revealed to the world… I just didn't expect it to be in this particular way.

Flavor of Love Season 2 Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Flavor of Love 2Sunday eveningsVH1 Let's just take a look at the season of Flavor of Love 2... the finale aired last Sunday, but I betcha you could catch a re-run if you realy wanted to. Flavor Flav picked his girl for the finale of Flavor of Love 2. Now, we the viewers of previously mentioned television reality show are divided between two camps… the camp of Delishis and that of New York. Let's do a quick rundown to explain the intricacies of Flavor of Love. I have linked to Talking Videos for this post (mainly) in case you want a more detailed version than I can type before work. Let me just say it- Talking Videos is the funniest shit out there when it comes to Flavor Of Love. I honestly don't know what I looked forward to more each week- the show, or the Talking Videos version of the show. Season 1- 20 girls are fighting it out to become the Flav's main squeeze. There are a few favorites, pretty evenly divided… several of the girls seem to be nice little hoes, perf

Lost Season Three Premiere Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Welcome to Lost Season Three …. A breakdown of last night's episode Spoilers or whatever, by the way. I apologize profusely to those of you reading this who are not Lost fans, because everything I say will remain an indecipherable (although admittedly amusing) babble of words which can be processed and translated only by those rare and wonderful individuals known as Lostralians. Or whatever you call yourself- we watch Lost. We're hooked. We have waited impatiently all summer long, various theories running through our minds, seizing and rejecting ideas about what the hell is going on… and now…. We are a junkie whose needle finally got all filled up with yummy television joy last night… the season premiere of Lost. First of all, we see the Others in their hood. They have a little TOWN set there in the jungle, complete with houses and Stephen King books. And book clubs. Where folks argue. We get to see the earthquake that shook everything up- caused no doubt by the magnetic

Review of a Blonde Day
1970-01-01 00:59:59
You see over on the right, where I have proudly put a little whattayoucallit that says "Blonde and Smart"? I'm a natural blonde, and I am usually fairly intelligent as well. Not that blonde jokes upset or offend me, I think they're funny. I collect them, in fact. Yet I never, well, almost never, consider myself to be one of those ditzy, flispy, airheads known as Dumb Blondes. I'm a smart blonde, like the label says. Wellll…. Some days, I have to tell you, it's not true. Some days, for lack of a better excuse, or to simply avoid calling myself a big idiot, I have what I term "blonde days". Days when I put the milk in the cupboard after carefully stowing the cereal in the fridge. Days when I look for fifteen minutes for the car keys that I have in my pocket. Days when I look around with a pathetic, startled gaze, searching for the mysterious, eerie noise, thinking, What is that? Is it a ghost? Alien death rays piercing my skull?… and then discover that it is comi


School For Scoundrels Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
School For Scoundrels Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder Directed by" Todd Phillips Rated : PG-13 for language, crude and sexual content, and some violence. 100 minutes Spoilers and stuff ahead I think… but please, arm yourself before seeing this. I was looking forward to this movie. I figured with Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Heder, and Ben Stiller (all shown in the previews), it couldn't go wrong. That'll teach me. I never looked at single review, just went along merrily with a bunch of my friends to enjoy what I really, really thought was going to be gut-busting hilarity. You know how I have that eye-rolling thing? You know how I hate to waste my life? Siiiiighhhhh…. School For Scoundrels brought out both, the eye-rolling and the hatred, in full force. Let's break it down, real quick-like. You've got Jon Heder, Mr. Dynamite himself, who plays Roger, Nerd Extraordinaire. He is supposed to be likeable, I think, but he is the kind of character that just ma


Who Are We Blog Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Who Are Wehttp://hunna2.blogspot.com/Blog asking questions and expecting answers I have been tagged by Jessie at Who Are We. Since the tag is about books I'm happy to do it, and since Who Are We is my Sunday Blog, it makes into one twighlight-zone music playing in the background, creepy weird coincidental thing. So I'm doing my regular weekend post today, instead of Sunday, and I'm including the tag. Isn't my life amazingly intricate???? Ok, maybe not…but I must add motion to my otherwise placid and sad little self. Sometimes drama is the only way to do it. Who Are We is an interesting little place, and is fairly young in the blogworld, but going strong. Jessie started it up in August and it's gained a little following already. People (including my purrfectly fickly self) come back, again and again. Why? Because Jessie aint afraid to ask questions, that's why! Who Are We describes itself like this: I'm just a girl. I thought I knew who I was, what I like, and where I


Click Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Click Directed by: Frank Coraci Starring: Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken Rated: PG-13 for language, crude and sex-related humor, and some drug references. 107 minutes DVD I hate to start a review with a question, well, actually that's not true, I don't mind at all… anyway, in this case I have to ask… did anyone else see this movie and immediately say "WTF? I thought this was supposed to be FUNNY!?" If you did, take happiness in the fact that you are not alone. In fact everyone that I've talked to in the flesh who has seen this flick said the same thing, although most of them, considerably less vulgar than I, left out the WTF part. In case you haven't seen Click yet, and plan to, let me be the first to give you the warning. This is not a "typical" Adam Sandler flick. Yes, you have your juvenile humor moments, dogs humping stuffed animals, Adam in a really, really fat suit, some parts where people hit/fall/strike in the balls/etc…. you

A Picture Meme
1970-01-01 00:59:59
A tag for all reasons. My protégée Alethegoodsoul (I really like this girl) over at Observe and Analyze has tagged my ass. If you don't like memes, as many, many of you "pretend" not to…and it's just because you're afraid no one will tag you- yes it is! I know it is! It's like getting picked last for the softball team... standing there, really praying that someone, anyone, will think you look like you might be able to catch a ball. So don't give me that "I'm waaay too uber cool to do a meme", just listen for a second, if you please. I love memes. Tag me any frickin time, ok? There is something about a meme that will stop me in my internet tracks and make me read. It's a glimpse of the person…ok, so maybe it's not always the person in truth, but it's a glimpse of the person that they want you to see. It's - excuse my overly romantic dribble- a bit of dreaming, a flash of heart. I will read any meme, any time. In fact, I have bookmarked a certain s

Review of Looking at Possible (as in Really Soon) Unemployment
1970-01-01 00:59:59
The second post in a row that has nothing to do with any kind of entertainment. The second post in a row about the lameness of my incredibly lame and getting lamer life. I will tell you honestly, faithful readers, I haven't been reading, or watching so much. I've been stewing and brewing ideas in my strange little brain. Facing unemployment will do that to a person, I've found. So here's another "personal" post and I'm pretty sure it will be the last one …for at least a few days. Hehehe. But first. Am I the only one who hasn't made the switch to blogger beta? Am I so lame? Have I fallen hopelessly behind the times and the chances of me ever catching up are miniscule at best? Uh huh… I thought so. Blogger Rightnow can bite my ass… every time I've gone to post, there has been some sort of problem. I read that a technician or someone like that has apparently been "notified", but do I ever hear from a technician? HELL NO. Does anyone ever explain to me whatâ€

Review of My Life As a Mother of a Teenager
1970-01-01 00:59:59
For those of you reading this who are the parents of young children, let me give you a spoiler. The news aint good.What happens to children when they hit puberty? I mean, what strange mixture of hormones and chemicals raging through the bloodstream changes them, seemingly overnight, from your little darling… to your big pain in the ass? I remember a post I once made on my personal blog, about my thoughts on "teenagers". I wouldn't allow my children to become these mythical creatures, I declared with pig-headed, blissful ignorance. Oh no. Not my boys. My sons had been raised to be respectful and loving toward their parents, and I couldn't possibly see them morphing into these awful people I'd heard about, sullen, uncommunicative, acne-faced and squinty-eyed. We would always have a close, loving relationship. They would talk to me, confide in me, and most importantly, listen to my never-ending wisdom. HA. Little did I know that I had no say in the matter, one way or another

Hornet's Nest Book Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Hornet 's Nest By: Patricia Cornwall Published By: Putnam Adult, January 13, 1997 337 pages Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good night…. Or something like that. I always get my holiday clichés messed up. Anyway, with a (rare) day off, at least until I lose my job, I picked up a book I've had sitting on my desk for a couple of months. Hornet's Nest, by Patricia Cornwall, is not a Kay Scarpetta novel. As some of you might recall, I have a weird, fascinated/repulsed relationship with Cornwall's Scarpetta. I find Cornwall to be a good, maybe sometimes even great, writer, but her characters, Scarpetta in particular, leave me cold. Kay is self-centered, whiney and constantly in a state of personal psychoanalysis as she trots around examining brutally murdered people and solving cases that in real life, would probably be handled by the police. The secondary characters in the Scarpetta books are just as annoying. Still, I find myself reading these books whenever the

Blog Preview :Kaat Litter http://kaatlitter.blogspot.com/blog about my boring and completely unexciting life so that I will no longer clutter up this place with personal posts about the above mentioned boring and completely unexciting life. Alrighty, this is kind of response to what some people have done over the past couple of days, and kind of in response to an email I received, that said: "I love it when you write non-reviewing posts! Well I love your reviews but it's nice to get to see a little of your life as a real person. I know that you have a personal blog but it's secret and I wish I knew where it was because I want to know more about you" I have had several emails about my "personal" blog, asking for the address, wanting to read it… why the hell people want to read my blah-dee-blah when they can read my personal biases about entertainment instead is beyond me. My personal blog is temporarily out of order, like much in my life, and that's ok. I think I was rea


The Ghost and The Darkness Movie Review

… and a review of the "New Releases" at Netflix. Thumbs down. The Ghost and The Darkness 1996 Written by: William Goldman Starring: Val Kilmer, Michael Douglas Directed by: Stephen Hopkins Rated: R for some violence and gore involving animal attacks 109 minutes For Oldie But Goodie Day… oh you didn't know about that one? Well, it's the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, when you're eating stale pumpkin pie and sandwiches made of dry, old bird flesh…hehehehe that was gross, if I do say so myself, and I do ….and sitting on your butt in front of the tube, and you watch an Older but Gooder movie. Get it? Got it! I knew you would. … this year, I chose to watch The Ghost and The Darkness. Ok, truthfully, I just made up the Oldie But Goodie day this very year, but that's because there's nothing good to rent! I'm too lazy and poor to drive to the actual theater unless there's something playing there that I GOTTA see …Like Borat. I will gotta-se

Nate Is a Blog Blog Review http://nateisablog.blogspot.com/ blog by Portland, Oregon comedian who has a long list of chuckles up his sleeve I've been remiss, my gentle readers. I haven't brought Blog Review Sunday to you in several long, lonely weeks. I am aghast at my own heartlessness…when I think about all of the people who depend upon me to direct their blogging on lazy Sunday mornings… the horror and confusion you all must have felt when there was NO BLOG TO GO TO… I am ashamed. Deeply. Contritely. Please forgive me. Hehehe. I love to bring out the drama. Yet here I am again, to help you find a chuckle, a giggle, a grin. So if you do want me to review your blog, go ahead and email me. Don't expect superfast results because I cook my blog reviews slowly, over time, tasting and sampling and sniffing from day to day, week to week. But I'll get there eventually. Guess you'll just have to keep coming back to see if you got lucky, huh? Alrighty then…. On t


Gene Simmons Family Jewels TV Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Gene Simmons Family Jewels A&E Saturdays, check local times 30 mins.I decided to review this television program in honor of Gene's birthday. Happy Birthday, Oh Great One! I remember KISS. Oh my yes… I remember the first time I ever saw KISS. My brothers had been babbling about them for some time, but I hadn't paid much attention, seeing as I was a little kid, maybe five years old. And then, one night, on tv, I saw them. Alien-looking, frightening and fascinating, towering men (due, no doubt to their stacked boots…those things were bitchin', hey) dressed in black leather costumes adorned with chains and spikes and other unidentifiable things. They had streaming black hair. And they were painted. What, I ask you, was there not to like? There's a review about the movie here. A really good, funny review, although I could be biased by saying that. I guess, according to the Internet Movie Database, it was bad. Not only bad, but bad, bad, bad, and one more…bad. Four bads.

Review of My Crappy Halloween
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Review of Halloween Note: due to crappiness of blogger, no pictures could be uploaded to this posts for your viewing pleasure. I apologize. I used to make a half-hearted stab at decorating for Halloween. Christmas is really my forte, but occasionally I'd put up a skull or two, stick a black lightbulb in the overhead porch light and throw around some of that crappy cobweb stuff that you stretch out all over. But there is always someone in town, or someones…who really go ALL OUT for Jack-o-lantern Eve. I wish I had a picture of this woman's house we were at last night. Every square inch of her (very large) home and yard was decorated with bats, blood, skulls and broomsticks. A lit up, life-sized graveyard filled one side of the front porch and to their horrified delight, kids could go through a dimly lighted maze in her yard, occasionally stumbling over a hand or foot planted in the ground while creepy sounds played from hidden speakers. Seriously, I have to admire dedication li

District B-13 Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Banlieue 13 (District B13) Starring: Cyril Raffaelli, David Belle, Dany Verissimo Directed by: Pierre Morel Writeen by: Luc Besson and Bibi Naceri Rated: R for strong violence, some drug content and language 85 min Last night, I watched District B-13, or Banlieue 13, as it is called in its native France and I guess, from the expensive promo site, that it was some big deal in France. Or I could be making a generalization about a movie in a country that I know nothing about, admittedly and happily. I watched it on the recommendation of one of my brothers. Now normally, I would explain the entire plot of B-13, with spoilers and all. But I can't do that this time. Because I really don't know what was going on. See, it's not sub-titled, it's dubbed. And that right there, that causes a problem for me, because I'm so fascinated by watching their mouths move and not match the words that they are saying… or because I am so tickled and again, fascinated, by the particular

Three Book Review Tuesday
1970-01-01 00:59:59
I've been having bad luck with books lately. Every one I've read has either been stupid, or badly written, or… and this is the big one lately, filled with unsympathetic characters. At least, to me, they are unsympathetic. For instance, I just finished Distant Shores, by Kristin Hannah. I thought it would be a quick, smooth read, nothing dangerous, nothing deep… and in that I was right. What I didn't figure on was the main character being a woman filled with middle-aged angst who is desperately unhappy, while living a life that other people would KILL to suffer through. Her husband, a former football star, who supports her, by the way, she's a housewife… has just landed a spectacular job in New York City, the chance of a lifetime, and all she can think about is the house they'll be leaving, which she redecorated herself. Example… "Birdie looked around the room, at the wallpaper she had chosen, the french doors she had ordered, the slipcovers on the furniture that

In America Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
In America 2003 Directed by: Jim Sheridan Written by: Jim and Naomi Sheridan Starring: Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine, Sarah Bolger, Emma Bolger, Djimon Hounsou Rated: PG-13 for sexuality, drug references, brief violence and language. 105 minutes The irish family in this movie, In America, is slipping into the United States. As they pull up to the border in their battered old station wagon, the parents remind their two young daughters, "Remember, we're just on holiday" As the border guard leans casually in the window to speak to the father, the youngest daughter, Ariel, shouts out merrily from the back seat. "We're on holiday!" Dread clutches the viewer as the guard nods at his partner, closing the gate firmly in front of the car. Oh shit, we're thinking, she's ruined it all! And yet within moments, the sunshine-bright personality of this child burns the doubt from the guard's mind, or perhaps charms him into not giving a crap that they're illegal im

Capensis Calamity Blog Review Blog about adventures in Africa with bees (and incidentally... my first bugs with beta are crawling out...so if this font is all screwed up, I apologize. It's not me. It's the BETA.) Capensis Calamity is a fairly new blog, one of my finds when I was having a day of near-record boredom, click-click-clicking away on the Next Blog button. I admit I almost gave it a big, capital P "PASS" when I read his blog description, "How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.-Henry David Thoreau" But I gave it a lookee-look and I'm certainly glad I did. "Cause, my friends, this guy is standing up and doing some living! Old Thoreau would have totally approved, unlike how he'd feel about boring-as-hell, non-living folk like me who sit on their asses and worry about bills instead of trekking through Africa and being a superhero and…well, I'm getting ahead of myself. Since June, our hero of the story, who I do n

Superman Returns Movie Review

Superman Returns 2006Starring: Brandon Routh, Kate Bosworth, Kevin SpaceyDirected by: Bryan SingerRated: PG-13 for some intense action violence.154 minWarning- you know I'm going to spoil you, so don't read it if you don't wanna know about it. Spoilers start about mid-way.Let's talk about heroes. Who was your favorite when you were a kid? There was Wonder Woman for me, with her kick-ass lariat (she could rope the bad guys, how extremely cool is that?) and Belt o' Truth. Let's not even mention the invisible plane, or we're gonna be here all night. Smile and think of all of the members of the Justice League. My brother, who never wanted to be like anyone else, loved the Green Lantern. Batman was pretty cool with his vast wealth and innumerable gadgets. I went through a brief, intense passion for The Bionic Woman, who if not a super hero, exactly, was certainly super, and personally my hero. I'll tell you a secret.

Stephen King's "Lisey's Story" Book Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Lisey's Story By Stephen King Published by Scribner 528 pages Lisey's Story does not "start out" like most Stephen King books. I'll give you the loud and clear on that. In fact, as I commented to a friend, if a person wasn't a slave- err, I mean fan of The King, a person just might get a little fed up with the beginning of the book and maybe drop it, concluding it to be not worthwhile. That person would be wrong, but anyone who is reading it is probably a King fan to begin with, so they'll know, as I did, that the point, when he gets to it, will be either glorious, terrifying, or, more likely, both. It is two years since Lisey's husband, Scott, has died. She has wrestled with grief and anger, anyone familiar with loss will sympathize. She is only now beginning the arduous task of cleaning his office, with the help of her slightly-off sister. However, the meandering tone set in the beginning of this book could get a little long for some. King trails around, not


Rocky Balboa Movie Review
1970-01-01 00:59:59
Rocky Balboa 2006 Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Antonio Tarver, Burt Young, Milo Ventimiglia, Geraldine Hughes Written and Directed by Sylvester Stallone Rated: PG for boxing violence and some language 102 minutes There is something about the Rocky movies that always pulls me in. Even the really, really bad # 5, where Rocky has this protégée named something silly like Tiger, no, wait, it was Tommy Gunn… same difference, and the young, hotheaded punk turns on his mentor and picks a street fight with him… we could have told him he wasn't going to win against Rocky, any more than he would win against a rock wall… but that's the movie. I have to say, I hated that this was the supposed end to the Rocky series. Rocky V was ridiculous and a sucky ending, but I chose to simply not think of it. Instead I liked to think of the original Rocky. Like other Stallone movies, (Think First Blood- an awesome, totally righteous movie that was spoiled horribly by the sequel, a litt
