Martain Child

Martian Child is a romantic drama starring John Cusack (whom I love) as David Gordon, a recently widowed, successful science fiction writer who longs to do something meaningful with his life. What he decides that something is, is to adopt a child.
His sister, played by none other than his real life sister Joan Cusack (whom I also love) is opposed to the idea, being a mother herself, thinking he is taking on more of a task than he realizes. David, not even sure he himself thinks its a good idea, falters, but is eventually won over by the ever allusive Dennis.
I have been intrigued with this movie ever since my buddy over at Worth The Popcorn did a write up of it in April. He has since abandoned that blog, in effort of an alternative one, which he seems to have abandoned as well (I wonder where ol’ Jimmy boy went??) I must say I miss Worth The Popcorn, though. It was a great blog with very unique ideas.
I was pumped to see Lakeview Terrace finally released in theaters. I had started to think it was going to target a limited market since I had learned of this movie so long ago and had seen nor heard anything more of it. Needless to say I had to rush right out to see it at the first available afternoon.
IRS and Monsters That Suck

Taxes.
Anyone out there delay the inevitable besides me? Two extensions are allowed, but unless you want the wrath of the IRS Nazi police knocking down your door, at some point you have to file your damned taxes.
Well I for one don’t want those Nazi Police knocking down my door so I filed my taxes, and I realized something in doing so. The IRS are a bunch of life draining sucking monsters. Here’s why.
I love books. Worked in a bookstore for 11 years, so needless to say, I’ve heard the name Charlaine Harris, and knew she wrote a vampire series. The problem is that I typically don’t like female authors because no matter how gritty their novels can be, there is always an element of romantic love that rings too much like a Barbara Cartland romance novel. Not that I am opposed to romance and love, just not the sappy “he looked at me as though he were looking into my very soul” crap. Plus the main characters name is “Sookie” - I mean really, could it be anymore cheesy than that? And I don’t mean good cheese, I mean gawd awful, stinky, limburger cheese…
Who is John Hancock?

I wasn’t sure what to expect going in to Hancock. Critics slam it citing the story line was weak and failed to hold the audience captive, while reviewers rave about it’s offerings of action, drama, romance, and comedy, all rolled into one.
Admittedly, my thoughts are that if Will Smith is starring in the movie it’s going to be a slam dunk. I have yet to see a movie Will Smith is in and be disappointed. Based on that alone, I decided to see the film and draw my own conclusions….
I thought I would repost something from a long while back that I have been thinking about while I am on my so called vacation. This post still rings true today, and I thought some of you newer fans might relate. Hope you enjoy it! See you all with something fresh next week
Ok. Maybe not [...]
I was hesitant to watch the first Hostel, thinking it may be too much like SAW which I had a real problem with. Too real. Too gross. Too twisted. I prefer my horror to be more unrealistic, less believable, so I can sleep at night. I can handle any possible nightmares of zombies and vampires and werewolves. I cannot handle nightmares of sociopaths wanting to sell my innards on the black market.
Or to kill me for the sheer joy of it. That would suck.
