Just an average week. Say some movies read some books. Here you go:

Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation (1992) 5
Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love (1994) 5
Code Name: The Cleaner (2007) 1
Because I Said So (2007) 7
Bedtime Stories (2008) 8

Icebreaker (2000) 1
Basic Instinct (1992) 7
Aliens (1986) 8
Alien 3 (1992) 7
Striptease (1996) 5

This week's pick of the week is Bedtime Stories. It is your usual Adam Sandler family type comedy. So there is not a ton of surprises here. If you are a fan of his previous works then there is a good chance that you will enjoy this as well. Adam does a good job playing the uncle of two kids that have quite the overactive imaginations, He finds that crazy things seem to happen each night after he tells the kids a bedtime story. Also be sure to watch for Rob Schneider and a little something unexpected. Overall it is a decent comedy with some pretty good laughs.

In other media I finished off Calvin & Hobbes, SomethingUnder the Bed is Drooling, and 3o Days of Night: Return to Barrow. All of which were great. Let's face it Calvin & Hobbes is a classic and Bill Watterson never ceases to amaze with his terrific insight into the lives of a boy and his imaginary friend. The 30 Days of Night story just keeps getting better with each series. Start with the original and if you like it and I am pretty sure you will then move on through the rest of the books.
