Ugly Betty:The Complete First Season

Ugly Betty is a wonderful show. Betty is down to earth honest family girl who loves fashion. When she lands a dream job at top fashion magazine Mode she finds fitting is not so easy.

Probably the best cast on TV and an A+ show. See it.

10/10

Book Review:Candy Girl-Diablo Cody

Candy Girl is the story of the year Diablo Cody spent as a stripper in the Mid-West. It is honest and revealing. Sometimes you won't believe wwhat you are reading and even more you won't believe how much you enjoy it.

9/10

LOST: The Complete Third Season

LOST season three started a bit slow, but truly picked up in the middle. The acting was great especially Michael Emerson(Ben) he is amazing. A fantastic ending. Still a great depite some saying its not as good.

9/10

Juno

A great great movie. Ellen page just shines. Her character Juno is often more mature then many adults in the movie. An offbeat funny and warm look at the struggles of teen pregnancy.

8/10

Run Fatboy Run

Simon Pegg's character, Dennis runs out on his wedding day, and five years later he still loves he then bride to be Libby. Her new boyfriend is running a marathon and to prove he can finish something Dennis enters as well.

You will cheer for Dennis until the end. A very good movie. Pegg is a big talent.

9/10

Dan in Real Life

Steve Carell is great in this movie. On a weekend at his parents house, he meets a women and falls for her. Only later to learn she is his brother's girlfriend.

Your heart aches for him as he tries to bury his feelings. A great cast and story.

9/10

Bee Movie

Jerry Seinfeld's first real try at movies and its pretty good. A bee whose sues the human race for basically hoarding honey. A good film but is really over the top at times

7/10

Alias:The Complete First Season

This show with Jennifer Garner as a double agent is very good. At times its a bit difficult to keep track of what the main purpose is, but there are so many wlement to keep you watching.

8/10

Big Nothing

This movie reminded me of Fargo. Lots of killing but in humorist way. I really like Simon Pegg and David Schwimmer. Big Nothing will keep you guessing until the end.

8/10

Into the Wild

This movie followed the book pretty closely so my feelings of the two are pretty much the same. Chris was very selfish in his actions. The movie itself was a bit too long but worth the time if you enjoyed the book.

Book Review:Into the Wild-by Jon Krakauer

Into the wild in the story of Chris McCandless a young man from a well to do family who after finishing college gave away his savings and cut off contact with his family and began traveling. His goal was Alaska but along the way he made friends that both cared for and admired him. Two year after starting his journey Chris was found dead in an abanoned bus on an alaskian trail.

Along with the people that knew him best and Chris own writings, Krakauer writes a great book told from all sides. I especially apreicated the background on his childhood and view of his family.

Many say McCandless was crazy that his trek was a suicide mission. I do not believe he was crazy, I think selfish is a better word. And a suicide mission no Chris wanted to hike out, but the waters were high. In the end he wasn't prepared for the trip, as bright as he was I truly believed he lacked common sense.

At the end of the book, I wondered if in his last hours did he wish he called his parents? My hope is yes if he did at least they were with him in some way.

10/10

No Resavations

No Reservatoins is about an uptight chef who sister dies and she is forced to raise her young neice. While after from her job a new chef arrives and love blooms.

Cathine Zeta Joes in so flat as an actress. She is pretty but that is as far as it goes in this movie. It was great to see Abigail Breslin but she deserved better lines.

3/10

Gone Baby Gone

I really enjoyed this movie. A great cast and the story will keep you guessing until the end. One the suprising thing about the movie was it made you think about how many could actually do right thing. Not what we think is right but truly the thing. For Ben Affleck a great directorial debut. To Casey Affleck you are coming into your own.

8/10

Book Review:A Spot of Bother-by Mark Haddon

The story was well written with a lot of unexpected moments. The characters flawed but very likeable. A good read.

6/10

Martian Child

A nice little movie a bit boring in the middle but a good ending if you stick it out. I am a big Cusack fan so that helped.

5/10

Music Review:The Juno Soundtrack

The is a wonderful CD. I think its rare these days that you find CD that you listen to again and again. Its a joy to the ears.

10/10

Knocked Up

Even though I still hate the title, the movie was good. The characters were very real and honest. It wasn't 'stupid' funny just funny and very heartfelt at times.

8/10

24-The Complete Sixith Season

Not the most impressive season, but still very good. The element of Jack's family was good but could have been better. The White House stuff was weak. But again a great bit of acting by Jean Smart and a superb final episode.

7/10

Frasier-The Complete Seventh Season

This is a big season for Frasier leading up Daphane wedding day to Donny. Until she learns of Niles' true feelings for her. Also a big highlight to me in this season Jean Smart playing Frasier's old high school dream-girl.

9/10

Punch Drunk Love

I did not get this movie. I wanted to liked it but the more I tried the more I hated it.
