2003
Batwoman is a new player in town. Batman isn't happy about it cause she doesn't play by his rules. He tries to find out who she is, but the trail is confused. There are three women who have reason to dislike Rupert Thorne. All of Batwoman's attacks are against Thorne's criminal activities.

1985
Similar to Night Gallery or Twilight Zone. Short stories with a quirk thrown in. With Steven Spielberg involved, you can guess the quality.
Some are great,others merely adequate.
"The Main Attraction" was so funny.

I never really planned on watching any war movies. But I do like Burt Lancaster.
This is Hawaii, just before Pearl Harbor. Pruitt is a new transfer. He used to box, but doesn't want to anymore. He hit a friend during a sparring session and killed him.
The Captain wants a winning boxing Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07001016416772235791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746245876668548641.post-70859310084256229982010-09-15T11:47:00.000-07:002011-01-12T14:57:21.902-08:00Action moviesSherlock Holmes
A new take on an old theme. Robert Downey Jr. is Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law is Watson.
Lord Blackwood murders women and is caught. He tells Holmes that "Death is only the beginning." (Shades of the Mummy!)
The problem is he doesn't stay dead. He's seen afterwards, quite alive thank you.

It's old and it shows. I think it took the name from an Isaac Asimov book, which it has nothing to do with. It has robots and that's all it has in common.
Tom Selleck is police officer Jack Ramsey. He's afraid of heights and good with robots. He gets a new partner and a new case.

A coming of age movie with a bit of precog thrown in. Bobby meets a new tenant who goes into trances and knows things he shouldn't. The tenant hires Bobby to keep an eye out for strange men and odd flyers pasted on things.
I went in expecting something really paranormal. It's pretty understated though.

Ok, I know this isn't all that great a movie. The acting was pathetic. But I still loved it. All those quickie scares, where you never knew when something was going to happen.
150 years ago, the townspeople of Darkness Falls killed an old woman. They later found out she hadn't done anything wrong. She cursed them all. She used to give the children a Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07001016416772235791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746245876668548641.post-4816272669240389922010-09-15T08:13:00.000-07:002010-09-15T08:23:33.793-07:00Humorous booksTales From the Dad Side
by Steve Doocy
He's a very funny man. This was easy to read and gave me lots of giggles.It's about his experiences as a Dad, from cooking to teaching. Definitely not the same viewpoint as a woman! It's about raising his kids, as well as tidbits from his own childhood. Yes, our children can grow a brain.

Similar to Darkness Falls, but nowhere near as good. He has to go back to his home, to put things in order. And face his fears of the Boogeyman. He believes his father was taken by the B-man. Society has convinced him, almost, that he made it up to cope with his father's abandonment. Now he finds out he was right.

The writing is hilarious and there's so much information that helps. This is a winner all around.

The movie Hudson Hawk. I've heard it listed as one of the worst 100. Funny, but it's in my family's top 10. It's a spoof of burglars, action, conspiracies and quite a bit more. The Hawk is a burglar being blackmailed by pretty much everybody into stealingKrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07001016416772235791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746245876668548641.post-31286007052576012432010-07-28T14:10:00.000-07:002010-07-28T14:10:39.183-07:00July 28, 2010Well, here I am. Again. I'm trying to get my act together and decide what I want this blog to be about. I love books and movies. I used to prefer books, but as my eyes get worse the movies are starting to look better! So I'm going to try to do book and movie summaries on Shvoong, and reviews here.

What I had planned for this blog isn't quite working out. Imagine!! So I'm going to try something else. I figure I'll just treat this like an online diary (not that kind!! Look for the porn elsewhere!) and just write about my days.
