Books & Movies of the Month - Nov 2007

Many of us are avid readers and movie lovers. What are you currently reading or about to read? Also, What movies did you see recently or are planning to see? Reviews are encouraged

 

Plan on seeing American Gangster tomorrow

 

Watched the Spiderman 3 DVD Friday night.

 

Easiest thing to do is check the library section on my girlfriend's and my blog:

http://stevenandsarah.com/library/

I'm clawing through Spook Country by William Gibson (just haven't been in a reading mood), and the Little Lady is reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.

If you scroll further down the blog page, on the right you will see our TiVos' Now Playing lists and our Netflix queue...

And we just finished watching Changing Rooms on BBC America...

 

finished with Act of Treason by Vince Flynn, fortuantely that one came from the library. Don't know what I will pick up in the place of the Vince Flynn. My wife and I saw Stephen King's 1408 last week-end and will be seeing Spiderman three tonight. This week-end will be Factory Girl (Yes, this is a movie). Below is a photo of the one I am trying to finnish today and will probably be done shortly:

 

My newest read:

 

Saw factory Girl (Staring Jimmy Fallon, its about Andy Wahol) this past week-end and will see 400 this week and Pastor Jones next week-end

 

Saw "Bee Movie" with my daughter. Critics gave it a C+ but I thought it was better then that. You have to like Seinfeld comedy to appreciate some of it's humor.

 

I saw Bee Movie with my little boy friday and it was indeed good.

Spider man 3 was garbage.

Haven't been in the reading mood but started No Country for Old Men.

 

SO....i saw the movie

No Country for Old Men.

I would recommend it. Great movie

 

I saw 500 from Blockbuster last week-end, and our thanksgiving movie is my wife's pick, thus a bit of a chick flick, its called Pastor Jones. Attached are my current litterature reads:

 

Seeing Pastor Jones for a Thansgiving movie, then I will be seeing Death Proof staring Curt Russell amd Rosario Dawson (who was last sceen fighting Brat Pitt while naked in Alexander). Next will see The Cougar Club staring Carrie Fisher (last seen in Star Wars with two danishes strapped to her head).

 

I think he made a funny. :rofl

 

If you remember Star Wars you will remember why I say she had two danishes strapped to he head.

 

go lower!!!!

Lower!!!!

I feel like Bob Barker!!!!!:rofl

Terry Goodkind just came out with his last book in the Sword of Truth series

its titled "Confessor"

wasn't supposed to be out until february...very nice surprise when I went to the bookstore.

 

I am told that this is not the end of the Sword of Truth, simply the end of the Imprial Order.

I saw a movie last night that my wife ordered from blockbuster on-line called Pastor Jones 4: Sisters in Spirit, don't waste your time. Our next few are Death Proof and A Tale of Two Pizzas (about two waring families brought together out of the love for Pizza).

 

Need to put that on my wish list. I'm reading Stephen King's "Cell" right now. I'm out of books.

 

Going to go look into getting something from Dean Koontz, I already have Velocity, might read some further. Although I realy do not like the idea of The Husband.

 

Movies:
"Fred Claus" - Didn't like it.
"Enchanted" - Loved it.

DVD Watch:
Original "Miracle on 34th Street" - Love it.
"Jingle all the Way" - Definitely funny.
"Live Free or Die Hard" - If you're a Die Hard fan, you won't be disappointed. Language, blood and sexual content way toned down but it doesn't need it. Bruce Willis doe sit again.

PS2 Play:
Currently working through Neopets with daughter. Needs a lot of work. Not well thought out.
