I wish I had time to write reviews for all these movies, but I just don't!

Dear Frankie (Awesome drama!)


Daredevil (didn't watch the whole thing - bleh)


Van Helsing (couldn't even get into it)


The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (the kids LOVED this!)


My Life So Far (Thought it would be good, but it....wasn't.)


The Village (Oooh, pleasantly surprised me! And I didn't guess the ending!)


The Day After Tomorrow (Oh, so implausible.)


Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (An oldie, but a goodie - and with Christian Slater too!)

October Reads

By Lisa -
Finally - my October reading list! Only 6 books, but one of them is the longest book I've ever read. And I've been working my way through another of Diana Gabaldon's books on audio, though I didn't finish that yet. Read on.... No Need for Speed: A beginner's guide to the joy of running by John Bingham - 10/12/09 Excellent - Non-fiction [999 Category - Serendipity 1 (revised category)] This couch potato turned back-of-the-pack athlete has uncovered the path to joy, contentment, self-discovery, and life-changing success, all by putting one foot in front of the other. As you may know, I have started jogging this year and I'm certainly not fast. This book was very helpful in setting goals and realizing a healthy approach to one of my new activities.

The Twilight series of books first came to my attention by way of a good friend. We made a trade-off bargain. I'd read Twilight and she'd read a book I'd been begging HER to read. I liked the vampire novel enough to read the two sequels. When the fourth book was published, I re-read the first three in order to read the fourth. (I couldn't remember them well enough to go on to the sequel without a re-read.) I purposely didn't re-read Twilight before the movie, so as to avoid the book-movie comparison game that fans often must play. Then again, I'm not a typical Twilight fan, as Bella gets on my last nerve. To make matters worse, I am on Team Jacob . (I know - horrors!) So, my expectations were not perhaps the same as many Twilight fangirls. I hoped to enjoy the movie and perhaps to
