Round Up

It was kind of a slow week this week. But here are the scores:

A Perfect Murder (1998) 6
Marley & Me (2008) 8
Sixteen Candles (1984) 5
The Covenant (2006) 6

The pick of the week has to be Marley & Me. For anyone who has ever had a pet then this is a must see. Even if you have the worst pet in the world they are still there for you and show you unconditional love and friendship. They become a part of your family just as much as a child or sibling. It is an extremely touching movie and if you have ever been one to get choked up at a movie then it is almost a guarantee at this one.

In other media I read 30 Days of Night: Bloodsucker Tales, RASL Vol. 1, and The Complete Peanuts: 1953-1954.

Bloodsucker Tales is probably my least favorite of the 30 Days of Night thus far. The first story "Dead Billy, Dead" was good but the second story "Juarez, or Lex Nova and the Case of the 400 Dead Mexican Girls" was just kind of bizarre and honestly was not all that good.

I was kind of unsure about whether I would like RASL I mean Jeff Smith is coming off of Bone which is a pretty high mark. But I have to admit that it really is awesome and Jeff has done it again. If you have not already then check it out and if you have not read Bone yet you should be ashamed.

Peanuts is of course a classic loved by all and in this volume we are introduced to Pig-Pen and Charlotte Braun. We also see Linus start to develop a fondness for a certain blanket.

That is all for this week folks! See you next week!
