Hmm. I thought it was more suspenseful than scary. Honestly I felt the movie lost its way at the end, although I can't think of a better conclusion.
Let's see . . . the last few films I watched were:
-The Help :stars3:
-Warrior :stars3:
-Breaking Dawn, Part I :stars1: 1 /2
I've only seen The Help. Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer were rightfully nominated, but the film itself didn't warrant a Best Picture nomination. I'm more surprised Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close scored a Best Picture nod. At least The Help received mostly good reviews. The same can't be...
Blu-ray release date for the U.S.: March 20th (and DVD, I'm assuming).
I was hoping for more extras. Personally I enjoy watching behind-the-scenes/making of features. Hmm, maybe there's a special edition on the horizon . . .
Simple. I read some of his writing and didn't find it funny. And personality-wise, he comes across as someone I really wouldn't want to spend too much time around.
I don't know about that. Sometimes it's fun to just verbally tear apart a book (or anything else) that causes strong dislike. Personally speaking, I only "love to hate" YA paranormal romance. I couldn't care less about all the other books mentioned here.
ETA: I lied. I forgot about Tucker Max...
An advice/self-help book from the author of Running with Scissors. In the vein of other Burroughs books, it has a spot on my "must buy" list :D. Release date is May 8th, 2012.
Complex selected their top 50 literary adaptations. I'll post the Top 10 entries:
10.) Psycho
9.) Gone with the Wind
8.) The Shining
7.) There Will Be Blood (based on Upton Sinclair's Oil!)
6.) Rosemary's Baby
5.) Apocalypse Now (based on Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness)
4.) The Silence of...
I haven't read the book yet, but some of the reviewers on Amazon.com have critiqued Cullen for offering superficial analyses and flimsy guesswork. I can't say whether they're right or not as I'm far from a Columbine expert.
I don't mind noisy audiences if the people are doing or saying stupid things, but that's because others' foolishness amuses me. The chatter becomes a problem when filmgoers start describing what's happening on screen or revealing plot spoilers.
Regarding 3-D, I never saw a movie in that...
Read more classics
Focus on titles in my TBR pile
Buy less books
Save up enough money for a Kindle or other e-reader.
. . . so basically, more of the same things I try telling myself to do :D.
The Discworld series is pushing forty books. So far as I can tell, Terry Pratchett has still kept readers satisfied. It must help that his series lacks a specific main character. But yeah, he's one writer who can successfully manage a series of 20 or more books.
