Movie and Book Reviews

Movies and Books...better than making out and ice cream. Or not. (This will probably be Omega's thing since I barely go the movies anymore.)

One of the most amazing movies ever created. A year after Eric ( Brandon Lee) and his girlfriend Shelly were murdered, Eric comes back from the grave to avenge their deaths. Last movie Brandon Lee starred in.

A bored teen on house arrests discovers the dark secret of his quiet, well mannered neighbor. Not really violent, but is funny and supsenseful.

The Delta Ferternity is the worst on Campus. All they do is party, drink, have sex, pull pranks, and have ridicously low grades. The ferternity is already on probation but the dean wants them gone and puts them on double secret probation. Will the Delta ferternity go done with out a fight? Watch and see.

A really strange, but amazing movie. Donnie has been sleep walking, and on one particular walk discovers that a plane has crashed into the world. With the help of the gaint bunny Frank, he also discovers the world is ending.

Felicity Hoffman stars as Bree, a transgender person, about to get a sex change. The change is delayed once it is found that Bree (or Stan) has a son. Really good. I liked it anyway.

This movie is a prequel to all the Hanibal movies. It explains Hanibal's life as a young child, his thirst for blood, and a nice liver and kinate. Brilliantly violent!!!!! (Good plot too, but blood!!!!!)

Transformers!!!!!!!!!!

A little slow and boring at 1^st, Transformers starts off with small jokes and the Decepticons attacking Earth and hacking into the US governments databases trying to find the all spark. Soon the Autobots make themselves known to our dorky hero Sam and with him and his girlfriend, the air force, and a few hackers The Autobots defeat Megatron and destroy the all spark. KICKED ASS!!!!!

Brokeback Mountain

Two men in the west get jobs hearding sheep and discover thay have feelings for each other, but know it can never be anything more than a few yearly get togethers up on Brokeback Mountain. YES, the two men are gay. NO, that's not the message of the story. It's a good movie if you give it a chance.

The Cheif of Polices' family gets taken hostage when a criminal and his family are taken hostage by a couple of kids out for money. Really good.

Undercover Brother

The Brotherhood needs help at shutting "the man" down and enlists the help of Undercover Brother. Ridicoulously funny.

This is the story of Santa's naughty brother kid. Cute for lil kids, but kinda boring for adults or teens. But it is cute. Right now I'm not a fan of cute though.

30 Days of Night

Vampires invade an Alaskan town where the sun doesn't rise for a month killing off the townspeople and reeking havoc. The idea is genious, but the movie falls short of what it could be. Plus the lighting was awful.

Henry Roth is a man afraid of commitment up until he meets the beautiful Lucy. They hit it off and Henry think he's finally found the girl of his dreams, until he discovers she has short-term memory loss and forgets him the very next day. Very cute and funny.

Macaulay Culkin plays 1980s club kid-turned-killer Michael Alig, a small-town boy who arrives in New York in search of reinvention on the Ecstasy-fueled party scene.Seth Green plays Alig's arch but more reticent co-conspirator and roommate, James St. James. Funny and weird. Loved it!

The Upper Room by Mary Monroe

Mamma Ruby is known for being a bit crazy. She stole her best friends baby, killed her husband and god knows how many more people she killed. So when Maureen comes of age to get away from her "mama" you can bet Maureen is gonna run like hell. Really good book. A little confusing, but good.

Red Light Wives by Mary Monroe

This book follows the life of 6 women and the pimp that came into their lives. Not very much sexual content for the storyline, but it's a very good book and look behind prostitution.

The Portrait of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde

Dorian Grey is a handsome young man with little to worry about; until he presented of a portrait of himself. His friend Lord Henry points out that Dorian will not be the same handsome young man he is when he grows old. This realization stains Dorian with sin and he goes on doing all types of extreme behavior. But even with his behavior Dorian does not age. Dorian then commits a crime he can’t turn back from. What becomes of the man who remains forever young? Read it and find out.

God Don't Like Ugly by Mary Monroe

follows Annette Goode from the very beginning as sweet, loving, and kind child who is a little chunky. Annette suffers sexual abuse from the charming saint of the town Mr. Boatwright who is forced to live with. Annette suffers through all this alone; that is until Rhonda enters her life. Slim and beautiful Rhonda takes Annette under her wing and the two who once felt isolated aren’t so isolated after all. But will their friendship last once Annette sees the ugly in Rhonda?

God Still Don’t Like Ugly by Mary Monroe

All about Annette rebuilding her life. She finds her half sister and reconnects with an old friend. But when Rhonda reemerges in Annette’s life, there’s sure to be trouble. Rhonda isn’t the only point of Annette’s problems. It seems that the past has come back to haunt her. Can Annette make it through or will she crumble under the pressure?

City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

Clary Fray is your typical 15 year old. Or so she thought. After Clary witnesses a murder while visiting a club and the body disappears thing start to go down for Clary. Her mother vanishes and she is soon thrusted into a world of ghost, demons, wizards, vampires, pixies, werewolves and other things of the like. But most importantly she finds out her true blood. A shadow hunter. Will Clary find her mother and her self or perish?

Tears for Water by Alicia Keys

A collection of poems and her song lyrics. Damn good.

Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts

From the time she was 11 it seemed Catarina Hale was destined to work with fire when the family resturant, Sirico's, is set ablaze by a neighbor. The fire follows her throughout her life with someone creating them just for her. Good. For a romance novel with an alternate plot.
