Movies and Ender

[Friday and Saturday August 24th/25th]
Friday night some of us went to go see Evan Almighty. Oh man, was that funny! I got cracked up many times. I'm not ashamed to say I was touched during the movie too, I have a few tears, and not just of laughter either. I highly recommend seeing it. Strangly enough though it was rated 18+ here, not sure why, if anyone has any thoughts please share.

Saturday morning I finally finished the fourth Ender's book, 'Children of the Mind'. It was quite good. I got hooked big time today as I read over 150 pages this morning to finish it up, what a long haul that was for me! I get sucked in my the Ender books. I highly recommend them. I was excited to hear that a Ender's Game movie is planned! What my next read you ask? I'm bouncing between 'Slaughterhouse Five' by Kurt Vonnegut or 'Fahrenheit 451' by Ray Bradbury. We'll see ;) Anna and I picked these up at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. when we were there of the 4th of July.

This afternoon Nick and I went to go see War/Rogue Assassin, its got Jet Lee and Jason Statham (Transporter). The title is a bit confusing at its different depending on where you are. We really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing through the film and entertained. It had its twists and surprises, again, other thumbs up!

Its starting to sound like I'm a movie (and book)critic. I guess, just call me 'Sherman' from 'The Critic'
