Big Media Update

Shrek 3: Not worth your money. Typical sequel to the first two, with less laughter than it should have had.

Spiderman 3: Go see only only if you LOVED the first two, otherwise, skip this one too.

Pirates 3: Oh so long, I fell asleep. I know, I do that a lot, but never in the movies! It dragged on, the fighting especially and there were some loose ends that were not very clear.

Lucky You: Classic romance story with poker as the headlining feature. Seeing as how I do understand all the poker, it was just cute enough. The previews before this movie made me cry, so obviously there are more important movies I'm waiting for.

Away From Her: Absolutely fabulous even though I only saw half. Why? The power went out in Santa Monica halfway through the movie and didn't come back on so we decided to leave. Perhaps this summer I'll just spend all my money watching independent films, since I do love them so.

Dreamgirls: Tia told me she fell asleep, but Jinsun told me to watch it. My grandmother actually owns it, so she and I watched it together, and when I say that, I mean I watched it and she napped. Well... the singing was fantastic and the costumes and set was beautiful. She and I went over all the parallels to real life after the movie.

Blue Shoes and Happiness (a No. 1 Ladies... book): I do love these. I'd suggest to you to pick up the very first one, and then read on from there. She solves mysteries -- but not in the Agatha Christie kind of way, but a lovely one nonetheless.

Future Housewives of America: A story about the wives of Air Force personnel and their "everlasting" friendship. Very well written I'll say, but a heartbreaker and full of sadness and depression for all the characters.
