The Cold Moon ~ Jeffery Deaver

rockbabe ~ Joey — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:57:06 GMT

WOW...what a great book. This was the one I read on the beach, could NOT put it down. More twists and turns than the trans Canada through the rockies!

He also wrote the Bonde Collector.

A cool music/concert book

chris — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 22:39:26 GMT

I dont know if it is out yet but it is interesting for everyone that wants to know about live music/concerts. OBG would love this one. It is called: This business of concert promotion and touring and it is by Ray Waddell, Rich Barnet and Jake Berry.

Since we are music fans here I thought this would be interesting for everyone.

Skinny bitch

chris — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 23:45:26 GMT

Here is a book for anyone that wants to look like Posh Spice. I think this must be the diet tip book that has everything in it.

Has it been out over there?

Now, just to get started!!!

Snakes on a Plane

JKraggen — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 05:29:07 GMT

I watched about 30 minutes of this piece of crap and couldn't take it anymore. This ranks up there with Once upon a time in Mexico.

Sshh... I've got a Secret...

Joe (chiplover) — Mon, 14 May 2007 22:48:13 GMT

I've been slowly but surely working my way through The Secret. I'll tell you about it when I'm finishd with it.

Underdog

TinaBean — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:01:39 GMT

I am taking my 11 year old to see Underdog today. Underdog was one of my favorites when I was a kid. My daughter wants to see it because of the promo they have been running on TV. I will let you all know if it is a true kids movie or a movie trying to rope in the former Underdog TV series generation.

I tried to talk her into seeing Transformers, was dying to see it based on the comments from this forum. The answer I got was "Mom, that's for boys, let's go see the Bratz movie" ...

The Outlander series...Diana Gabaldan

rockbabe ~ Joey — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 04:45:00 GMT

Sorry..not sure of the spelling but I LOVE THIS SERIES. It is great book at the beach material. Historical fiction and hot...I would say it is mostly for women.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Joe (chiplover) — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 18:08:32 GMT

I got back from the library a few minutes ago with the newest and last Harry Potter book.

For those of you who have no plans to either read or buy the book because of some outdated religious beliefs, I'll let you know how it goes.

For those of you who DO plan on reading or buying the book, either for your kids or for yourselves, I'll keep my mouth shut.

Horror Flicks: Originals & Remakes

Joe (chiplover) — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 03:52:21 GMT

This is the trailer for the Rob Zombie "re-imaging" of Halloween. Looks to be an asskicker

The Fletch series, by Gregory McDonald

oldbeigeguy — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 20:12:22 GMT

All of them are fun easy reads. Read them in order if you can (I think there are 11). Here is a link to the most well known http://www.amazon.com/Fletch-Gregory-Mcdonald/dp/0375713549

Transformers

Joe (chiplover) — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 06:41:25 GMT

I just got home from watching this movie, and let me tell you, it FUCKING ROCKS Leave it to Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay to have realistic looking CGI robots.

The action is hot and ongoing, the drama is tense, there is some humor, and the CGI robots are so real looking, that you'd think the soldiers are ficghting actual giant robots. One little spoiler: since GMC supplied the cars and trucks in the movie, Bumblebee is now a 1970's Camaro (he was originally a Volkswagon Bug, for ...

Lila Says

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 06:42:54 GMT

Don't hate her because she is beautiful...

Lila Says is about an arabic teen,Chimo, in the slums of france who hangs around with some guys who do petty crimes to keep themselves entertained. He is the shy one of the group and seems to have a higher moral ground than his buddies. They discover a new girl in the area and his best friend pursues her while she, unprompted by Chimo, pursues Chimo with unexpectedly frank sexual come-ons. Is she crazy? Is she a prostitute? Was she sexually ...

She's All That

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 06:27:36 GMT

This is a Spike Lee movie. I didn't think I would like it...but I loved it. I love that Spike Lee uses relative unknowns in his movies..they look like real people you would see on the street. It is about an innercity married couple trying to survive the husband's jail sentence for petty theft and his unfaithfulness to his wife. It focuses mostly on the wife and what she does to keep her family together during these struggles. It is very entertaining and moves along at a very good speed. ...

Saint Ralph

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 06:21:45 GMT

Ohhh this one is goood... it kind of reminds me of "a Christmas Story" in a way because it is from the perspective of a young man (except this one is going through pubescence in a big way) and finds himself in many an awkward situation even while he is setting the ultimate goal for himself - to win the Boston marathon. I am not someone who watches movies about sports, but this was soo funny and your heart just aches for this kid who is encountering endless embarrassing or painful lessons ...

Ann Rule's true crime nonfiction books

Joe (chiplover) — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 21:58:07 GMT

Since everyone on here already knows that I like to read, then you shouldn't be surprised that I also like reading true crime novels. I've read Mark Fuhrman's Murder In Greenwich, Mara Leveritt's Devil's Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three, and of course, Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter.

The true crime novels I've read the most, though, were written by Ann Rule. Some of her books have even been turned into movies on TV, most notably The Stranger Beside Me, which was about ...

The Tenth Insight

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 03:54:09 GMT

The continuation of the Celestine Prophecy...errrr wut kinna weed smokin party was this guy at to write this? The first 9 insights were well explained and much easier to understand. The 10th Insight was a little too remote for my taste. I started skipping pages thinking "Get to the Point!" I so wanted them to just sum it up in a paragraph. It took the whole book *yawn*

Pan's Labryrinth

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:21:42 GMT

I thought I was renting a children's movie with a realy ugly Pan. No...this is not a movie for kids (at least young ones) due to the extreme violence. There are 2 stories going on here...a "reel" life violent war and a young girls experience with Pan. Could she be the daughter of a man from long ago come back to life? She has 3 tests to find out and if so, returns to her kindgom alongside her father. Or could this be a figment of her imagination to deal with all the violence around ...

Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 04:47:45 GMT

This movie is a little different. It is told from the point of view of an alien who is trying to explain the mating habits of people on earth. The alien's voice is David Hyde Pierce (whom I love). Carmen Electra is the female subject and some unknown but cute guy is the male subject. The explanation of the alien is sort of how one would try to explain something if they didnt know too much about the culture. He is viewing us humans as animals and his observations caused me quite a few giggles ...

The Freedom Writers

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 04:11:35 GMT

Can an English teacher really break through to innercity kids who's concerns are just making it alive every day they wake up? Yes. This is based on a true story and is truly very inspiring.

Hilary Swank plays the teacher who's unusual tactics cross the individual and group walls that these teens have made for themselves. She can be touching at times but mostly a little too enthusiastic to believe. "C'mon kids, let's play a game, you can either play a game or have regular class, ...

Apocalypto

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Thu, 31 May 2007 06:44:19 GMT

Love him or hate him for his recent stupidities, Mel Gibson is one heck of a director. Yes there is violence and blood and gore, the usual qualities of a movie that I like but what I love is that the actors look like real mayans, they are not stunningly beautiful people dressed down, they are real people and they joke like real people, they hate like real people, and they love and start a new life like real people. There is humor there is tension there is pride and joy and hope. It had some ...

Mistress of the Spices

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Wed, 30 May 2007 05:12:16 GMT

While I love Indian culture this movie was ultimately way too corny. Spices are a very important part of Indian culture. I remember walking into a local Indian store and the owner told me I needed hot chilis to attract a man. Umnnn what? This movie pretty much takes that idea and runs with it. The star of the movie is considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Her bollywood name is Aishwarya Rai. She is truly beautiful except when she looks up...then her eyeballs look like they ...

Sssssssnakes on a plane

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Wed, 30 May 2007 07:11:30 GMT

I thought this was going to be a stupid movie because the title - while accurate - makes the movie sound childish. There is a reason for the snakes - there is an important passenger on the plane that could do a lot of damage if he is allowed to testify. So, a plan is put in place, the snakes are released and they are purposely provoked by an unseen agent in the air. These are snakes on drugs, folks, and they is pisssssed off! There is a lot of blood/gore/disgusting little bits but that makes ...

Man of the Year

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Mon, 28 May 2007 20:25:53 GMT

I am a big fan of Robin Williams. The man truly has a gift. This is about a political comedian getting voted as a president elect. Only there is a glitch. It is funny, there is legitimate danger, it runs the whole gamut. I loved it.

Who Killed The Electric Car?

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Sun, 20 May 2007 19:56:55 GMT

I know, by the name alone it sounds like one of those disney kid movies but it is not. This movie is about the emergence of the new technology of an electric car, seems to be somewhere in the late 90's going forward till about 2003-2005. It is about finally finding what seems to be a great solution to the polution problem, but somehow, the whole thing being squashed by ____??? They were expensive cars but at least those who could afford it would not be contributing to pollution. How does ...

The Holiday

Joe (chiplover) — Sun, 20 May 2007 03:20:38 GMT

I watched this movie last night on DVD. It's pretty good. It's not funny like most romantic comedies are, but it's still a good movie. I was surprised at how well Jack Black performed in the movie, since you don't equate Jack Black with romantic comedy.

Dead Man

cupid1d — Wed, 16 May 2007 19:20:36 GMT

This is a Jim Jarmusch film with Johnny Depp and a number of other's [including Iggy Pop in a bonnet and dress]. It's not for the faint of heart to be sure there is some industrial strength violence. Shot in Black and White, it's Western about a guy [Depp] who takes the train west from Ohio to an accounting job only to find the job has been filled. From here it goes very wrong for our hero. A very dark film with some darker than dark humour and a guess shot by Robert Mitchum very late in his ...

Mimic 3:Sentinel

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Sat, 19 May 2007 21:41:09 GMT

Errrrr maybe it's because i didn't see 1 or 2 but there was very little character development. Even the "monsters" seemed only to be shown in their full nastiness near the end of the movie. I did't know why the main character was sick or couldn't go down to help his sister when she was in trouble. The monsters? stupid. Lots of blood though. I didnt' get it, and pesticide has never looked more inviting.

Almost Famous

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Tue, 15 May 2007 13:11:46 GMT

Loved it! It went nowhere that I thought it was going to go - totally fresh, unpredictable and quirky. Just like life! I love Hudson in it and that new face that is in there..the young teen boy..he was wonderful.

The Celistine Prophecy

Yvonne (Pray4Supernova) — Tue, 15 May 2007 04:06:53 GMT

Yes, folks, I saw the movie and now...I have read the book! The book is EVEN BETTER and less hokey than the movie! It actually makes sense which is why so many people don't believe that it is fiction. The writer based it on his beliefs but made it into a readable book....I didn't want to put it down. It took me months to get through another evanovich book but this book? A week and a half! If you are ready to grow in a spiritual direction, not necessarily religious wise but spiritually - ...
