I love this movie. Watch it every couple of years. Harrison and Kelly are great. Keep your eyes open and you'll spot a young Vigo Morgenstern. If you haven't seen this movie, what is wrong with you? I actually didn't think it was great the first time I saw it. But then I watched it the second time and DVD and realized it is f-ing brilliant. Now it's one of my fave movies. I didn't hear very good things when it was in the theaters so I cancelled my plans to see it. After watching it on DVD, I so wish I had seen it in the theater. I was engaged and couldn't wait to find out the end. Want to see it again to see if it holds my attention as keenly now that I know the puzzle. I really wanted to like this movie. But it just didn't hold my attention through a lot of it. I did enjoy the ending. I think there might have been too much before we got to the robocop part. Which feels odd to say for me as I usually get mad when movies skip the important befor...

My weekly meme. Wanted something fun to do for a little bit and thought it would be fun to go through one of my books and pull out the first line from each chapter each week. So here is the next one. Chapter Twelve Kristy leaned back in the pilot’s seat and closed her eyes.

Space pirate Captain Kristy Ryan grew up the only daughter of a notorious privateer in the Border Planet Region. She learned her trade the hard way – there were no free rides on her father’s ship. Now, she has her own ship, the Unicorn, and successfully works in the shadows, the fringes of legitimate trade. Her life is just how she wants it even on those days when her pilot and lover, Andrew Bennet, drives her crazy. But an unexpected visit from the Military Space Alliance changes everything. Her father disappeared while working a dangerous mission for the MSA. Now, she’s being blackmailed into finishing his mission. http://www.amazon.com/Encounter-at-Shalana-Angelia-Almos-ebook/dp/B006LBRCJE

Had to watch since it had Jeremy Renner in it. Spoiler: Though I lost interest once he died. And I found her annoying through most of the movie. Very good. Daughter read the book for school and we watched the movie. She said it was pretty faithful to the book. Elijah Wood and John Cusack. Can't go wrong with that. And I really enjoyed the story and Elijah's performance. He does a lot with no dialogue. Can't decide if I like this one. I liked the performances, but well when you have zombies in a Sleeping Beauty story you can't really expect a lot. Effects and costumes were laughable. But again the actors did a lot with what they had and I couldn't turn it off. You have to watch just for the boombox scene. Plus, John Cusack is incredible as the slacker who falls in love with the smartest girl in town. Loved this as a teenager. It is a bizarre movie. But what Johnny Depp movie isn't bizarre. Please Mr. Jailor is my favorite scene and always wi...

My weekly meme. Wanted something fun to do for a little bit and thought it would be fun to go through one of my books and pull out the first line from each chapter each week. So here is the next one. Chapter Eleven Kristy peeled herself out of the biohazard suit and shoved it in the closet in the med-bay.

Here's what I've been watching.... Starts off typical, but goes on several loops and turns as the survivors try to survive and escape. Very good.  Typical Jason Statham. I enjoy him with kids. Not a huge fan of James Franco though. But I enjoyed the women actors. It started off with some promise. But the fact that you never do find out what is causing everyone to vanish was annoying. Mostly watching TV shows this week. So only three movies that I watched all the way through. What movies did you watch this week?

My weekly meme. Wanted something fun to do for a little bit and thought it would be fun to go through one of my books and pull out the first line from each chapter each week. So here is the next one. Chapter Ten She stared at the blank screen and her knees shook with the effort to not collapse to the ground.

I've been watching lots of movies this week. Some really good. Some old favorites. And some not so good. Just as good as I remembered. Excellent cast, story, and pacing. Not as powerful as I remember it being, but still a very good movie. Early part of the movie was a little predictable for me, but did like the second half a lot more. Great movie! Excellent performances, script, and plot. Good movie. Was surprised by the very end. Wow. I was surprised at how good. Not a happy ending as can be expected in most Indie horror movies. I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Pretty good. I really like this one and the addition of Luna. Seen any good movies this week?

Spell Check by Julie Wright A skeleton is rattling its way out of the closet marked “FAMILY SECRET! KEEP OUT!” Allyson Peterson believes that being hanged by the Salem High Witches is the absolute worst thing that can happen. But when her powers, wrested from the trolls of ancient Sweden, manifest themselves, she realizes that a prank hanging by vindictive cheerleaders is the least of her worries. Ally accidentally sends her parents to the jungle to fight anacondas, turns her brother into a mute, and curses the entire cheerleading team with an illness that has no cure, proving that her spells need a little checking. Her Swedish grandmother shows up to help her through the worst part of all—surviving the Troll Trials and saving the guy of her dreams from a vengeance that has festered through-out generations. The power is in her, if she can just get the magic right. Grab your copy on Amazon Author Julie Wright Julie Wright (1972-still breathing) was born in Sal...

Uncovering Cobbogoth by Hannah L. Clark Norah Lukens needs to uncover the truth about the fabled lost city of Cobbogoth.

Can Norah discover what they are before its too late to share her own. Amazon * Barnes & Noble Praise for Uncovering Cobbogoth "With a fascinating protagonist in Norah Lukens, a fully realized, never before seen fantasy world, and a fast paced, compelling story, Uncovering Cobbogoth establishes Hannah L. Clark as a major new voice in American fiction. The richness of the story and the scope of the world she's created screams for a film adaptation. This is a fantasy novel for ever...
