Movies, etc.

I don't normally buy CD's anymore, because if there's something I like I just buy it on Itunes. Normally buying a whole album is such a waste when there's only one or two good songs. But today I bought 2 CD's! The Juno Soundrack and Anne Murray Duets. I've got to say that as soon as I got home I put the Anne Murray CD in. It's awesome! Every song on it is excellent! If you like Anne Murray at all, you should buy this CD. Not since Martina McBride's Timeless album have I liked a whole CD so much. Of course, I am very much looking forward to Kathy Mattea's Coal Album that comes out in April, and from the sneak peak of some of the songs on YouTube, I expect I will love it just as much.

I've actually got quite a few movies in so far this month. Well, ok not that many considering it's the 17th, but I'm quite proud of myself. Here there are:

1. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (TV) 7/10. I just love this movie. Of course any movie that has something to do with horses I usually like.

2. Clerks 2 (DVD) 8/10. I just got a new TV and needed to test it out with something. I happened to also be reading Kevin Smith's book at the time, so Clerks 2 it was.

3. PS I Love You (Theater) 6.5/10. This movie would have been a very strong 7-7.5 if it had someone other than Hillary Swank as the lead. It was a great story, but I just didn't like her in the "female romantic dramedy" lead. She's a great actress. But just didn't seem to fit here.

4. Superbad (DVD) 6.5/10. As with all these type of movies, some parts are really dumb, some are really funny. Knocked Up was much better.

5. Eagle Vs. Shark (DVD) 7/10. Pretty good. Interesting story. Although at times it seemed a little too Napoleon Dynamite-ish.

6. Catch and Release (DVD) 7.5/10. Again, the Kevin Smith book made me want to see this again, since he talks about making it in the book. Good story. And Kevin Smith is very funny.

7. Atonement (Theater) 8/10. Great story, interesting style to telling the story. I really liked the ending.


The books I've finished so far this year:

1. Eat, Pray. Love. Enjoyable story. I started this on the trip home for Christmas and then finished it on the way back the second trip to MN.

2. My Boring A$# Life- Kevin Smith. Loved it. It's basically just his blog diary for a year. Great stories, interesting to know some of the buisness end of the buisness.

That's all for now. There's a ton of movies on my list that are must sees, plus I have a stack of books needing to be read...
