Wings by Aprilynne Pike
This is another of those supernatural storylines except the difference is about fairies. A young girl turns into a fairy and tho it couldve been a good story, it really wasnt. I finished it, but wasnt impressed w/it. The middle had another storyline involving trolls trying to drown her and it had a whole different feeling to the book which really through me off. Its supposed to be a 4 series book w/#3 coming out this May but it didnt really hold my interest.
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
This one was great but the ending was weird. This book is about a 50yr old woman who's diagnosed w/alzheimers and the writing and the progression of the illness is really good. While I was reading it tho, I had certain fears of my own forgetfulness. haha!!!
Dark Fever by Karen Marie Moning
Dont even bother with this one. Its boring and tho there's no actual sex in the book it has several inappropriate scenes in it and really it was just boring. I skipped through it after about half way just to see how one particular part of the storyline played out but between the made up words for these fantastical creatures and the humdrum of the writing.....it was just ugh!!!!
The secret life of bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Great book!! loved the storyline and the characters. I didnt even realize tho till later that the main character was a white girl. But the book has love and fear and was just really good to read!!
Wicked witch and curse by Nancy Holder
I started this book but the first few pages had a man being sacrificed for this pagan ritual and a woman making her small child drink the blood that was squirting out of the body and I just had a feeling that I really shouldnt read this book. So, I stopped!!!
I was just noticing that technically I only read 4 books since last time I updated!! How weird, but I'm reading a very long one right now so maybe thats why!!! Plus, I have been very busy at work lately. hahaha
MOVIES
Red- netflix dvd
Great movie...loved all the actors in it and it had a good storyline and pretty good acting.
TV
This is one of my mom's favorite movies and I always enjoy watching it too. I like how even tho there's a secret going on....it wasnt one of those movies where the person actually lied to the other. I love Minnie Driver and David Duchovney as well so that helps.
TV
Another one I've seen but hadnt in a long time and love both these actors. Its a quirky, funny movie and has some funny scenes in it but mostly just an I love you, oh this is too hard I dont love you, oh wait a minute I really do love you, type of movie!!!! But very cute!!
TV
Had never seen this movie all the way through before and enjoyed it. It was nice to see Whoopie in a good character movie. Its a depressing movie but I think everyone should see it at one point.
Netflix- instant play
So this one was interesting cause it has two storylines....
A pair of literary sleuths unearth the amorous secret of two Victorian poets only to find themselves falling under a passionate spell. Thats from IMDB. Its been in my queue to watch and then my niece one night asked if I had watched it cause it had Jeremy Northam (Mr. Knightly) and Jennifer Ehle(Elizabeth Bennet) so then of course I had to watch it. It was ok...a little slow in parts but it was a good story and very fun to watch all the actors.
DVD
So after watching the above movie,(since Gwyneth and Jeremy are in it) I needed to watch this one which I've seen a thousand times and enjoy every single time. Some of my favorite lines???
"Pork, Mother"(Miss Bates talking to the hard of hearing Mrs. Bates)
and "vanity working on a weak produces all kinds of mischief", (Mr.Knightly to Emma) and Mrs. Westons lovingly advice, "let his actions be your guide". Love this movie
Netflix- instant play
I've seen this one several times and like it. Tho its hard for me to watch Mel lately. Love Elijah Wood as a little boy.
Its a good love story!!
TV
This is one of those movies that I dont know why its not in my possession. I LOVE this movie soooo much. Great storyline, great acting, all my favorite actors, the ending is just so great and I want to see it again just talking about it.
TV
First saw this movie w/my friends teenage daughter back in like 98' and watch it everytime I see its on. I really like this movie. Jennifer is great as Selena and the music is really good. I remember the day that a neighbor came to me and said Selena had been shot. I didnt know who she was, even tho I grew up in Texas, but I hope this movie was a good testament of her life cause it was great.
Redbox
I got this one for Dylan and his friends and he told me I should see it and it was very good. It was interesting to see how smart these people are that come up w/these ideas and how greedy some can get. but I liked how even tho these guys were suing him, they did need some credit and deserved some compensation. My opinion.
It's a good movie to watch.
Redbox
This was pretty good. Nothing to rave about and kind of reminded me of the movie Losing Isaiah.
TV payperview
This was really cute. Loved it. The beginning is hilarious when they get set up on a date. Soooo funny. Its a cute romance movie with great actors and a very cute storyline. this is a must see.
Netflix- dvd
I wanted to watch this for awhile because I like to see any adaptations of Pride and Prejudice but I wont be seeing this one again. It was cute cause it was bollywood...but it was boring. They broke out into singing and the acting was so-so, so it didnt make it my gotta own list.
TV
I watched this cause it reminded me of dylan and we all know I'm having major sentiments this year due to him graduating in a few months. I really love this movie tho.
TV
Survivor is back baby......Redemption Island and the best part is Rob is back, Bad part is that Russell is back. and this season redemption island is where you go when you get voted out and you battle w/the other voted out person and then the loser really goes home. At some point, one of those people will come back to the real game. Its been on a few weeks now, and the other best part......Russell actually went home for good last week. Can you give me a hallelujah!!!! Sorry Randy.
I stopped watching American Idol a few years back and decided to give it a try cause of Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez and it was fun during the casting. Steven and Jen are great to watch and made the show this year. Tho after hollywood week when they picked the finalists and some bad ones were chosen and some good were not, I got a little mad. So, I'm just watching the finals shows but only if it doesnt interfere w/something else.
