updates!!!

These are in order of how I liked them!!!

Movies I've seen recently.....

Leap Year
Kind of questioned the authenticity of the "Irish" accents in this movie and then decided I was being too critical. The beginning was a little predictable but then it gets much much better w/ a great a romantic ending!!  I loved it!!!


Humble Pie
This reminded of  a Napolean Dynamite type movie (which I love). It stars Hubble Palmer who was Mr. Collins in the Pink Pride and Prejudice so I was instantly interested in it.  Here is the IMDB plot summary:
At nearly 400 pounds, Tracy Orbison is a wide target. When he sets out to pursue his dream of acting, the grocery clerk finds an
assortment of people waiting to dash his dreams: his acting coach, who has designs on his sister Peggy; his juvenile-delinquent friends, who suck him into their petty crimes; and his God-fearing, self-loathing mother. Through it all, Tracy remains irrepressibly upbeat, convinced he's destined for something big.  
I enjoyed this movie and hope to add it to my collection.

Cloudy w/a chance of meatballs
This was really cute. Lots of  big named stars in it. Didnt have a huge "message" which I loved.(cant stand it when these cartoons have some big moral message in it!)
It's definitely a must see!






Smart People
This I saw on TV and it should be renamed "Dumb people". I liked all the stars that were in this....but the plot was terrible and no morals what so ever!
No likey this one!!!!




Books I've read recently......

The short second life of Bree Tanner- Stephenie Meyer

This is a novella she wrote about one of the "bad vamps" from Eclipse. If you're a Steph fan then it's a must read!!!!! Thats all I'm saying.





A great and terrible beauty- Libba Bray
Loved this book!!! There are 3 books and just started the 2nd!
Must read!!!!







 The Walk- Richard Paul Evans 
I liked this one. It held my interest. In fact I stayed up late reading it. Way too late. I thought the ending was a little strange, but after researching it...turns out "There's more to come"!!!


Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict

A girl wakes up in the Austen era and has to learn a lesson before she makes it back to her real life. Unfortunatley this girl has very loose morals and once again a book that couldve been written in a really cute manner ....didnt really make it in my standards.  
Side note..... I wish I could wake up in the Austen era!  I would have so much fun and possibly meet my own Mr. Darcy or Captain Wentworth or Mr. Tilney!!!  sigh!!
