Barely Lethal
A movie about a rogue teenage secret agent who runs away from her super covert assassin school to attend regular high school, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Alba, that chick who plays Sansa Stark, and Louis Litt’s scary fiancée Sheila sounds awesome, right? Too bad it wasn’t. Watch ONLY if you enjoyed Prom.

I knew it!
The first review of Jenny Lawson’s Furiously Happy has just been posted by Kirkus Reviews! Obviously, they loved it. I knew it’d be amazing. I’ll be waiting in line at the store for this book. Review highlights: “Rather than hiding the facts, she openly divulges, in a darkly humorous way, how she copes…” “Along with…

Bravetown
It took me a while to figure out why the kid looked so familiar. Then BAM! He’s in the Hannah Montana movie. Obviously. In other news, I have no idea what genre this is supposed to be. It might be a teen dance movie. It might be trying [very hard but not so successfully] to be…

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I’ve always fancied men in kilts and Scottish brogues. Throw in time travel, historical fiction, romance, sadism, humour, fear, and a healthy dollop of erotica and what’s not to worship? (Obviously, I’ll be binge watching the series.) No. 4 on my challenge. Thanks for my signed copy, Mom!

Please, no one tell her that what she thinks is creativity is really just laziness. Now, there are rules for this award, but I’m a rule-breaker by nature (this could be true. You don’t know.) so…

The Water Diviner
Man oh man. Russell Crowe is so good at making movies. Gets me every time. Except that time he was on a boat… and the time he was building a boat (maybe I don’t like boats?). But this one; this one was good.

What else am I to do?
It’s 10pm on a Saturday. Obviously now is the perfect time to start reading an 850 page novel about romance and time travel. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which number this fulfills on my book challenge? Update. I’ve finished. It was amazing. It could have fulfilled five numbers on my challenge: No 1. A…

Unabrow: Misadventures of a Late Bloomer by Una LaMarche
Una LaMarche is my spirit animal. She has a “Shit List Bingo” card that calls out the “lotto bitch who never calls your numbers,” and “people who misplace apostrophe’s like moron’s.” I love her. No. 3 on my challenge (obviously).

Dumb and Dumber To
It was certainly dumber. The first was great because it was original. This one tried a little too hard to live up to that.
