24 hours

On Thursday, I got entralled in The Hunger Game mania. I know I live under a rock. I am not a fast reader either so that keeps away from a lot of books.
Well, my friend texted me to tell me a bunch of peopel were going to see the movie on Friday.
I knew a girl at work that was reading, immediately asked her for the book.
I got off work at 4 pm on Thursday and immediately started reading around 5p.
I read all day at work on friday and finished around 530p.

I loved the book and I love the violence
It reminded me of 'The Lottery' by Shirley Jackson
Here is the link to the story, beware it is violent

Than we watched the movie at 9pm, I think I ruined the movie for myself because I has just read the book. It was a decent movie, but I had the book engrained in my head, oops.

What did you guys think?

The artist

The artist is a new movie it has been up for a ton of awards, if you live under s rock.



It is completely silent.
We went to go see it last weekend at a local indie theatre in town.
I don't know what it was, mainly because it was so different to the things we are use to,
but OMG it was so good. I went with a couple other friends and they all agreed.

When we put words aside there is so much more that we pay attention to..
the music, specific body movements, gestures, and facial expressions.

Have you seen any movies lately that you thought were awsome, weird, and indifeerent?

Red fails..

So My friend Em wrote a blog post on her epic disappintment about Red Tails found here



I do not know why I took her review with a grain of salt, it might be because my airplane obsessed husband was dying to see it. Well we went  to go see it on Saturday and it was anything but epic.
Like Em said the plt was unispiring, the dialouge was plain and the editing was amateur.
I was not a fan and do not suggest seeing it.
