Another week....

Oh yeah firstly, wish all you folks a very Happy New year 2009.

So well lets start with the reviews:

Movies:

1. Over the Hedge: One from my favourite category- animation movies.. great story, great animation and total fun to watch, though hubby thought otherwise. Could have gone deeper to become a lion king though. But I liked the simple and nice touching story...

Rating: 4.5/5

2. There is something about Mary:

Oh well, old movie, watched it so many times...its still watchable in parts..like in between cooking. Really like the unbelievable character Mary is...

Books:

Well didnt have time to dig into too many books, but yeah accomplished finishing one:

Twilight:
Stephanie Meyer

Rating: 2.5/5

Ok I really dont understand how this became a best seller, but i guess if u survive the slow first half of the book, you are in for a treat..just because it took me as much time to finish the first half as all of Rowling's books put together! Some nice editing and better vocab could have made this book and the mythology beneath it pretty captivating. Anyways, I shall definitely read he sequels to see if she gets any better!

I did not see your rating on "Mary". I actually found it initially hard to get into. The majority of the rest of it was fine though and enjoyed it immensely. I have not delved into 'Twilight', mostly because I tend to get sucked into those things easily (I.e. I became a 'Buffy, the Vampire slayer' addict). I enjoy your reviews

By the way keep writing. I read some of your earlier posts and they were very inciteful. I some times write without getting any responses, but know that people are reading me (from comments later on). It also is helping me greatly in a time of great upheaval in my life. So keep writing!
