Moving to AZ and I saw Sweeny Todd and loved it

Moving to Yuma Arizona this week. Won't blog for another couple of weeks.

I saw Sweeny Todd. Loved it.

(Proof reading will start after I move to Yuma.)

Yikes

Just re-read some of the old blog posts. Yikes. I need to work on spelling, punctuation, flow and clarity of thought. My new year's resolution is to proof read all of my posts. Starting next post.

what I saw and read December 3 - 9

Books

1. Boychicks in the Hood by Robert Eisenberg
A very interesting and informative book about the Haasidic Jews.
2. Prayer for Rain by Dennis Lehane
Probably my favorite mystery writer right now.
3. Nature Girl by Carl Hiassen
Pretty good.


Movies:

1. The Big Store
This is probably the worst Marx Brothers movie I've seen. The jokes weren't as snappy. But it was still great.
2. Underdog
3. Nancy Drew
This is a great movie. I'm glad I saw this. Eli really liked it to.
4. Paris Je T'amie
A bunch of short films about Paris, France. Like all collections of short films, I liked some and I wasn't crazy about others. Made me want to visit Paris though.
5. The Santa Clause 3
6. Intolerable Cruelty
The first 30 minutes of this movie are shrill. By far the worst thing the Coen Brothers have ever done. (Movie-wise. I'm not sure what bad things they've done in their personal lives.) I liked the Weezy Joe part.
7. O Brother Where Art Thou
8. The Christmas Carol (1938)


TV:

1. The Soup
2. The Soup presents
3. Meet the Press

What I saw and read November 26 - Dec 1

Books:


1. Celebrity Detox by Rosie O'Donell
Like sitting in a room with someone who can't stop talking about how nice they are and how mean everyone else is. I simplify but not much.

2. What do Jews Believe? by Edward Kessler


Movies:

1. Enchantment
I really enjoyed this. Gave me a smile.
2. American Gangster
Scientifically, I recognize that this is a great movie. Good acting, interesting story, several great scenes. But overall it didn't do much for me.
3. Gold Rush
This is a great movie.


TV:


1. A Shot at Love with Tila Taquila
A bunch of twenty somethings telling Tila that she really deserves to be happy. (I see no evidence that she does.) She went to each of the contestants houses to have dinner with the family. At each house she acted very boorishly. The families didn't seem to mind.
2. CNN/Youtube Debate
I like McCain and Hucklebee
3. The Office
4. The Soup
5. The Grinch that Stole Christmas
6. Shrek the Halls
I won't be watching this next year.
