I totally paused!

Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman, & Gandalf Again I find myself asking, “Did I fall asleep?” Full disclosure – I have not seen any of the other Harry Potter movies, nor have I read the books.  Although they are on my TBR pile. That being said, I have seen plenty of [… Read More]

Starring Dakota Blue Richards, Nicole Kidman, & Daniel Craig I think I would have liked this movie a whole lot better if I hadn’t read the books first.  And granted, I don’t remember every detail of the book, but I actually wish I did because so many things seem out of whack.  Which is not [… Read More]

Starring Dakota Fanning & Teri Hatcher Since I wasn’t the biggest fan of the book, I didn’t necessarily plan on seeing this movie.  But I got invited by some friends to go see it and figured I might as well.  Much to my surprise, I did actually like the movie and I think it’s pretty [… Read More]

Starring Janeane Garofalo, Ian Holm, and Peter O’Toole One night last week, I sat down on the sofa with my boyfriend and we were discussing what to watch.  This movie came on and despite neither of us really having any interest in it, we watched it all the way through.  Which is undoubtedly the mark [… Read More]

This book appears to be well acclaimed critically, so I’m sorry to say that I was a little bored with it.  I didn’t dislike it, but nothing really held me in.  It’s only something like 160 pages, but it took me weeks to read it because I was just uninterested.  I didn’t care what happened next.  [… Read More]

Lest it be thought I haven’t been reading, I have, I swear.  Posting, that’s another matter, but reading has been happening. About a week ago, I finished The Amber Spyglass, which is the final book in the His Dark Materials trilogy which is made up of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife as the [… Read More]

Although this book was reasonably action packed and less boring than some of the others, I think it might have been my least favorite of the whole series.  From the start it just felt overly preachy, talking about a false Aslan, as though it would be a surprise later when no good comes of that.  [… Read More]

First off, this one was significantly less boring.  There was no seemingly endless sailing! We start this one off at the school Eustace goes to, where this girl Jill is being bullied.  For what it’s worth, apparently the kids at this school all call each other by their last names, so she is Pole and [… Read More]

So this book bored me so much I forgot to read it for awhile.  And then forgot to blog about it too. I remember starting this one when I was younger, and got to the part where they get into Narnia by being sucked into the painting.  And when it was set at sea I [… Read More]

This book was significantly better than the previous one.  Much more interesting, stuff that was easier to care about.  It’s easy to see why Disney chose this as the next movie in the series, cuz it’s the next one that happens to really have anything of note. ***** We start this one off with the [… Read More]
