ANANSI BOYS
This was one of those books I was unable to put down, which was not too surprising since it was a Neil Gaiman book. Luckily I am out of job right now or I would have been in bad shape staying up till 1 in the morning finishing the book last night. I have yet to read a book by Gaiman that I have not...

HOLES
This family movie by Disney based off of a book by Louis Sachar was really one of the biggest disappointments ever. I had heard good things about this movie yet was unable to find them in the movie itself. I really am lost as to how this movie got such high acclaim. First off with-in minutes this...

SPY KIDS 2
This is a movie I had no desire to see and was not surprised by what I ended up seeing. We saw it because my son wanted to watch it. that is also why we say the first Spy Kids. Well to start off the movie itself really has nothing at all to do with spies of any real kind. That had been obvious to me...

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
Doing a review on this book will hard to keep from giving too much away and in this case it is worth being surprised, so I shall do all I can to avoid any spoilers. Rowling has done an incredible job with her world in this latest book. Most of the book feels like the clam before the storm. After all...

THE FANTASTIC FOUR THE MOVIE
I have never been a big fan of the FF. They were an interesting team and had strong connection to Spider-man. I collected their series for a little while during a time where I was collecting just about all of the Marvel series. I had a minor interest in the movie. I was very happy with what they...

Madagascar
It seems to me that there is a trend right now to over rate any animated movie that comes out. Madagascar is very much is an over rated movie. There really was little to the movie that drew me in. Sure there were some good jokes and such, but the basic story was fairly predictable and the over all...

THE LEGEND OF RAH AND THE MUGGLES
This is straight out the worst book I have ever read. I seriously am putting the challenge out there for anyone to find me a book that is dumber, more poorly written or just plan out more insulting to be called a book than this one. There really is nothing at all of value in the 253 pages of what I...

STAR WARS EPISODE 3: REVENGE OF THE SITH
A friend and I are already in debate as to just where this one falls in the ranking against the other movies. By far it is the best of the prequels, although that does not seem like saying much. It is in the quality of the classic trilogy. I place it as the number three movie in the saga, with...

THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, THE MOVIE
This one is surprisingly hard for me, but I am going to try to do one anyway. I have been a fan of the books for about fifteen years now. Loved them and I give the books a very high rating, but I am looking at the new movie here, not the books. One of the truly inspired aspects of the books is the...

STACKED
Now here is Fox really not understanding things at all. Pamela Anderson may be hot, but her shows all suck and my guess is that her new show is really not going to last long at all. Stacked almost works though. They have basically taken Cheers and turned it around. With Cheers you had the bar group...
