Draft Day
This movie taught me: 1) How the NFL draft works. 2) That Tom Welling can still turn my crank. Man, that guy’s attractive. Kevin Costner ain’t nothing to shake a stick at, either. 3) That apparently Jennifer Garner isn’t always annoying.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Odd Thomas
I can’t remember the last time I was so caught off guard by a movie like this. Maybe I was paying too much attention to how adorable Anton Yelchin is… So what if I was? I paid enough attention to know that I liked it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
For years I have heard it said, but now I know it to be true: JK Rowling is brilliant. Masterful, even. I thought I knew the story. I was wrong. I am so very glad I was. Finally, the last for no. 20 on my challenge. I kind of feel like there’s nothing left to read…
