The Simpsons-The Complete First Season


Such a great set. One thing I've learned about the Simpsons that its not just another cartoon series(Which I already knew from it lasting 19 seasons) There are great stories within the episodes and actual lesons learned. Love it.

10/10

American Graffetti


I wanted to love this movie but it was to slow. There were to many little sub plots. You just become interested in one character story and they into another part. However you can't complain about the great cast. Many a career was started with this movie.

5/10

Inside Man


This the slowest thriller I have ever seen. Great actors were wasted in this movie.

The Comeback-First and only Season


I am Lisa Kudrow fan so I was looking forward to seeing this. She was good but the show was just bad. It was about wash up sitcom star that was looking for fame again. Her search was also documented as a reality show. That is where it lost me. Had it just be her looking to find sucess it would be fine. Why does everything have to a reality something? HBO just tried to hard to be different.

Book Review: Friends, Lovers, Chocolate-Alexander MCcall Smith


This is a great story. Smith pulls you in and its like a warm throw on a rainy afternoon. The little mystery within will have you really page-turning.

American Splendor


I never knew this movie existed until a few weeks ago and it three years old! American Splendor is a great great film. Off beat and awesome. The way it is filmed was amazing. Its like a reality movie how cut from the white room stuff to the movie and back.

LOST The Complete First Season

When this was first on I thought How far can it really go? People on an island not a lot to work with there. Then a few friends said how great it was and final I said what the hell. I got first disc from Blockbuster Online. Fifteen minutes into the pilot episode I was hooked.

Great writing, a tremendous cast. I am so glad I watched via DVD. I don't have people get by on one a week.

Music Review:Snow Patrol-Open Eyes

A really good CD, the songs have great flow to them.

8/10

Rumor Has It

I really enjoyed this movie. Jennifer Aniston was fun to watch. Her journey of discovery although a little lame was good. It proved sometimes you go looking for something and find yourself.

Music Review:Josh Ritter-The Animals Years

This CD was a gift, I had never heard of Josh Ritter. The music is pretty solid. He has an old school Springsteen\Dylan sound.
