Movie, Music, and TV Reviews

[Hoople]

:( It just arrived from Netflix today. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be worth the time. Previews were empty / devoid of energy - impulsively added it to my queue while surfing. Now I feel like putting it back in the envelope. I hate wasting my time on sucky movies, moreso serious sucky movies than goofy sucky ones. Saw a TERRIBLE movie the other night about searching for a White Castle. It sucked, yet, because it was dumb, it had redeeming moments.

Am reading a wonderful book: Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. One of the most beautifully written, lush, vivid, imaginative, interesting and intricately woven stories I've ever read. It's ten years old, though. I think we ought to have books up there in the board description.
