Smallville

September 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

My favorite love/hate show is Smallville and it is back for another season.   Just wondering, how many people watch Smallville, have watched it or even read the books?  Every time I say I am going stop watching it, I don’t.  I even read a few of the show’s inspired books. What can I say, I like fantasy.  Just recently, I bought Elliot Maggin’s The Last Son of Krypton although I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer

September 20, 2008 · 1 Comment

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer  Yes, I finally have a copy of Stephenie Meyer’s Breaking Dawn in hand.  I began reading it on Sunday night and had to put it down.  I stopped because I couldn’t continue.  I have to emphasize that I do not nor ever liked the character of Bella (read my review of Eclipse).  So far, Bella has not shown any growth whatsoever…she  is looked upon as a princess who can do no wrong.  Although, it will be a struggle, I’m going to continue with it. Look for my review shortly.

Nick & Norah’s Playlist (Coming to a theatre near you)

September 20, 2008 · 1 Comment

It opens on Oct. 3. Yippee!  I am NOT looking forward to this implausible story of teens that enjoy drinking, partying and doing other ridiculous things.   Anyway, I doubt that the movie will be better than the book. As I said before, I did not enjoy the story much, so I am going to skip this movie.  However, I will be going to the movies this weekend to see Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys. Now, that is a movie worth seeing.  Later, I will share my thoughts about it. Peace.
