On this page I'll write reviews of the movies I see and books I read. I might use a format similar to this for my reviews.

Mash Reveiws

Mash season One

Delisiously funny, it will force you to laugh aloud, and if you're a sap occasionally shed a tear of two.
 
Set in Korea (The Southern half) during the Korean War. Excuse me! Police action. Trully set in a Mash (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital), folling the antics of Hawkeye Peirce (Main charicture in the book Mash, as well. Whose real name is Benjermine Franklin Peirce. And the man who plays him is Alan Alda. (A wonderful actor who plays a wonderful part. No matter where you are I'll always love you!)
 
This is something everyone should watch, while it's not very like the book (and I really like the book) it's extremely good. Showing loads of things they don't teach or tell you about in school.
 
And ah, you'll learn something of the Communists who attempt to take over all of Korea and the American's, South Korean's and ah the other countries. The um, well I forget the name, but everyone. The soldier's where powder blue uniforms (In real life. Really, my Dad met one of the men once.) But In the movie they're just French and English, Bulgarian and who knows what else troups.

Mash season every!
 
Perfectly wonderful as you may have guessed by the above reveiw!
 
The first two season's in particular aren't the nicest. Trapper and Hawkeye are rather nasty to Frank at times, not that he doesn't deserve it. But by season three they seem to have come into themselves much more.
 
Season four-eight are much more mature, and not so slap stick funny. (Mature, not as in all grown up and all, but as in emotionally and acting more mature.)
 
BJ and Hawkeye do loads together, and apart. For a while Franks there and they are still slap stick but when Frank leaves and Winchester enters the scene things get a bit deeper. Exploring places that they never could have with Frank, learning alot. And still gernally, between meat ball surgery and searching for the Perfect marteni (which is diffrent from a regular marteni) their are plenty of laughs!
 
Everyone should watch Mash and own a few seasons, perfect medicine alot of the time!

Connie and Carla
 
I watched this, again, last night and it's even better than I remember! There's a witness to a crime and than running for one's life. Except their are two of them. Connie and Carla. So they hide out as cross dressers. What better thing to do. Girls pretending to be guys pretending to be girls. I love this! It's absolutly hillarious, you'll be laughing soo hard! There's some sexuality. But not like sex or anything. This is funny! And not bathroom humor! (All the time) Hightly suggestable if you don't already own it go out and buy it! You can thank me later, but thank me you will!

Major Payne
 
4/7/05
 
Almost a slap stick comedy about a man thrown out of the military that doesn't need him anymore and how he turns a bunch of children into winners when they'd formerly been lossers. Expected, running in the same line as so many other movies and books, it's still very funny and recomendable. For a little action, some romance, mauturing adults and laughter turn on the tube and watch Major Payne!

Ray

There are so many words to describe this film, so many that work and so many that don't.
 
But the anntonym of terrible pretty much sums everything up.

One Fine Day
 
4/3/05
 
A wonderful movie. Full of humor, loves, laughs and tears. About two single parents and their kids on one fine day. Between political scandals, child care problems and boss allergic to kids you'll be busy, as are they. A youngest Dad and an  oldest Mom work together to become a movie perfect for any day. But patricularly a rainy day, when you just don't know what to do.

Shall We Dance
 
I'm sure that it's very good, but  don't like it at all. There's nothing to it. here isn't really a story. Which is the only good things I can say for it. For a movie with nothing to be a movie around there sure is an amazing lot of it.
 
Perhaps if one is married, happily or has a life partner they enjoy and has finished their mid-life crises by a year or two you'd like it. Me, well we thinks not.

Fat Albert
 
It's really a preteen movie, and for those who watched the cartoon when it was on tv, as well as those people who grew up listening to Bill Cosby.
I personally didn't like it. If I was 13 or 12 or something like that I'm sure that I'd have loved it. But I'm not. So?.... It's very Disney like, something you'd watch on Friday night. Well, enjoy!

Book's, book's, book's, book's book's and more wonderful book's!!!!!

Sometime
 
Galopagos by someone.
 
Everyone should read this book! Its funny (Catch-22 is as well.) its unique and unexpexted. It's unlike anyother book you have ever read. Its a small book, a fast read. Listen to it on tape or cd. But read it or listen to it. Stunning, amazing, incredible and anything but perfect!

Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War by Clive Barker I beleive.
 
A really good book. Admittedly I was in the wrong mood for reading it most of the time but it was good. And the pictures are fantastic! I'd buy the book just to look at the pictures. I still have to open to book and look. There's soo much to see. The more you look the more you haven't seen. They're really incredible.

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
 
A wonderful book. Very insitful and hightly remarkable. Unlike most other books. For a bit of sarcasm, lots of truths and opposites this is a great book. Strangely, and dangerously reminding of what is going on now (probubly) in our political circles. The very highest and most powerful including our President. It personally scares me how alike it is to what I see.

A Norther Light by Jennifer Donnelly
 
A wonderful book about finding yourself. A coming of age story. With a cover that doesn't match the story at all. (something I really hate!) For someone who loves history, the past, discovering yourself and murder this is really good. It deals with truth, and fact as well as opinions. Questioning alot of things. And than, breaking a promise to a dead mother. Breaking it so that she can live her life. Not pretend to live it having died long ago.

Spellfire by Ed Greenwood.
 
A pretty good book, wirten for boys to young men. Very much, while not the traditional, run of the mill fantisy. Rather pradictable, interesting but not enough that I never ever wanted to put it down and refused to go to sleep until my eyelids closed themselves and refused to open themselves again.
 
There are some very good ideas, but alot of blockbuster stuff there as well. Recomendable for someone who wants to be safe (there's a little sex.) and can't find anything better. A time killer. A book one would buy and read on a vacation, than leave in their hotel room or in the pocket infront of them on the plane.

The Diary of a Young Girl: Anne Frank
 
4/4/05
 
It's unbelevable, possitivley stunning. And definitly not a book thats for sixth graders (which was when I read it before, for fun.) but for 8th grade and up. Particularly high schoolers. It touches on loads of human enotions. It's brutally honest with both herself, her parents, opinions and everythign else.
 
I think that msot of us can relate to what she went through, espessually if you haven't forgotten what its like to be a kid, pre-teen, teen and just a growing person.
 
I recomend it to everyone, that they take the lesson's to heart. And, at least to me, it was unbeleivably touching, her hope and beleifs of the future. A future that she was never able to realize, or feel. A future she died before it came.
 
If you refuse to read this diary I order (even though I have no right) you to go to a book store or to a library and read the last two entries. Which are so touching and truthful and real. I beleive that we feel exactly what she's expressing, sometimes more than we wish to admit!

Daughter of Ireland
 
4/3/05
 
An amazing book, aall about the druid's in Ireland. Full of fact, fiction and legend. Specifically about on young woman finding herself, her true love, her child, family and people. Most definetly a mature book so that means it's not for everyone. Particullarly those not ready to read bout sex (It's not a porn book!) and mature launguage (some swearing) this isn't the book for you.
 
Emotion's run rampant in here going from the depths of despair (literally) to absolute and undying love, happyness and annoyance and everything in between!

Abarat By Clive Barker

-Posted 3/28/05
 
A wonderful book (which I was coincidently told I would hate). A unique mix of Alice through the Looking Glass (Which I didn't like) and Eragon (Which is also wonderful) with just a hint of Lord of the Ring's. (Choose a book, I'm not very picky.)
 
I suggest it for those looking for a quick read, soemthing diffrent and unique. It's full of fantastic things, particularly creature's. About the adventure's of a girl and what happens around her.

Lord of the Flies
3/28/05
 
A haunting book that catches and holds you. One which you can't help but fall into and completely beleivable. How many nightmares I had about the poor boy who wore glasses and the pig. How terrible and how true it is, the lord of the flies.

 Key To Ambria by Melanie Rawn
 
Simply unbeleivably good! A very good book. (And no I can't spell, nor will I ever be able to spell) I read it because of the second book The Mageborn Traitor even more unbeleivable! And am waiting for the third book Captal's Tower which hasn't been published yet, and was supposed to be ten or so years ago, at least as far as I can figure.
 
Anyway, this is a book about female dominance and an underground fight against two culture's. One which is (I suppose, at least how it has often ended up) very communistic. Everything is controlled by absolute power. They tell you what to do when to do it and with whom. Children, marriage, jobs and even death. Than the one which is present and followed by most people, the (mostly) free choice to do what you'll do and marry whom you will and have children or not at your own discreation.
 
A book of power fighting and a bit of politics (not enough so anyone shouldn't read the book!) Plenty of mysteries. Espessually from the people who their about. The magical girl who doesn't even know who her real parents are. The other magical girl who doesn't know about her sister. The male musician who's whole past has been blocked from his mind.
 
Magical, mystical. Plenty of everything you want to read about, romance, intreage, magic, mystery, the fight between good and evil, even family rivallry.
