Into the Beautiful North by Louis Alberto Urrea Add a review |
This was definitely one of the most engrossing books I've read this year. A small town in Mexico is left with no men. They have all left to the United States in search of a better life. The town is left vulnerable to drug thugs and bullies. The young women (just out of high school really) decide to head north with their gay friend Tacho, owner of a tiny restaurant, to bring the men home. The journey is not eventless. It is a vibrant account of what immigrants must go through for not only freedom, but also to live life with dignity.

Religulous by Larry Charles Add a review |
Bill Maher travels throughout the US and the world in search of answers to his legitimate questions about organized religion. Very funny!

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Julian Schnabel Add a review |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is an amazing story about the life of a man who has "locked in syndrome." It opens your eyes to a whole new world and opens your heart to those in need. It is a film that every generation should see.

Honolulu by Alan Brennert Add a review |
A great novel that tells about the history of Korea, China and Japan and what happened fifty to one hundred years ago. |

Jonathan Creek by David Renwick Add a review |
This British tv show brings both a fun and different approach to crime solving. Madeline Magellan, a nosy investigative crime writer, teams up with Jonathan Creek, an inventor of magical tricks for a famous magician. The actors are very plain and the show is pretty slow but all that lack of glitz (and Hollywood's big bucks) makes it all the more enjoyable.

Burn Notice by Matt Nix Add a review |
I just love this TV show. It's clever, witty, the plots are well-written, easy to follow, the characters are very likable and, in a way, the show is very reminiscent of 'Miami Vice' in its day.

Changeling by Clint Eastwood Watch a preview Add a review |
Although the movie is not totally accurate, it is still very moving and well-crafted. Clint Eastwood did a superb job directing, Jeffrey Donovan is excellent as the wicked Captain JJ. Jones and Angelina Jolie is first-class as Christine Collins.

W. by Oliver Stone Watch a preview Add a review |
I truly enjoyed this movie. The acting is very good. Whether or not you approved of or liked Dubya, this movie exposes his 'human side' and his lifelong (and most likely ongoing) quest for approval and love from his father.

Death at a Funeral by Frank Oz Watch a preview Add a review |
Twisted comedy, but unusually funny. Worth watching.

Pineapple Express by David Gordon Green Watch a preview Add a review |
Mildly entertaining, possibly more so if you're smoking the same stuff they are in the movie.
