How To Train Your Dragon


Okay I give this movie a complete 5stars!!! And more honestly. My husband and I were laughing out loud. There was no cussing, nothing in appropriate and very very funny. There were definitely a few twists and it was great.

How to Train Your Dragon is about a very scrawny Viking Boy who want's to have the love and respect of his father. While this isn't really a young child/toddler movie it is great for kids about 7 and up. They will probably be able to understand the humor a bit more.

Lennys Sub Shop


I LOVE this place! I eaten there maybe 5times but it is so good! It gives Firehouse Subs a run for their money and well Subway can't compare...except in price. But Lennys regular is 8in. and their large is 16in. so...yeah

I suggest getting a Lenny's card, you receive rewards when you use it. They add up to free subs and more!

I've had the Italian and the Philly Cheesesteak, both 5star (except for the heat on the Philly, let it cool a few minutes before you dig in!). I'm planning on trying the French Dip and Swiss next!

If you have a facebook make sure you "like" them, they offer coupons every now and then and they recently gave a way a "I love Lenny's " mug!

Predators


Rated: R

So I was kind of disappointed in this movie. It wasn't quite what I thought, which I did like, it was a nice twist. There was a lot of cussing, and in that situation, with those types of people(as in their profession, where they were in life) I could see that. It wasn't to excessively used, so I'll give it an okay for that. There was no sexual content, which I expected. And there was only one part where I closed my eyes(yes I had a sissy moment), all the rest of it is pretty manageable! I honestly didn't like the ending, but to each their own.

The Legend of the Guardians


Rated: PG

This movie was great! Even for the older audience out there! I really didn't think I would want to see this movie, but a friend of mine had seen it and said it was pretty good. So for a valentines treat I rented this and Predators(which will be posted in a moment). It was a sweet surprise to see how well it turned out.
The animation was amazing! It was very life like. There were a lot of funny parts. And it was very interesting to learn the different types of owls, there were even real owl sounds. Overall I highly recommend this movie to everyone of all ages!

Gargoyle

Gargoyle.


I do not think that I will truly recommend this book to anyone. While it was good, interesting even. it did not inspire me to want to suggest another read it.

I started this book with slight expectations that were most definitely not met, but that changed once I read the teaser on the inside cover. Once I told my husband this, he pointed me in the error of my ways, telling me that I should not blog about books with any expectations or biased. Because that would be wrong to the reader of my blog. I agree that he is right, but I also think that any reviewer of any item will always have a biased opinion.


Andrew Davidson did do a very good job on this book. I really enjoyed the MANY love stories with in the one story. Some noble, some not. But no matter what throughout this whole book, well except for the very beginning really, you can in a sense feel the love.

Now I'm not going to lie, part of the reason I would not suggest this book is because of the foul language. But I also understand why it is there and how the main character came to use the language and his profession. Which is porn. I don't know just how much of the information is true, about the pornography anyways, (Andrew spent seven years on research for this book.) but it's a somewhat interesting glimpse into a porn stars life and the few people around him.

I also think that the main character should have maybe tried to fashion a new penis after his accident but, love is not just about the sexual aspects. It is about more, but I just figured he'd be more comfortable peeing like he used to.

Sinner

Sinner.


We all are though aren't we?


i highly suggest reading the preceding stories before reading this one. It will probably help. Or you can do what I am doing: going back and reading "Showdown", "Saint" and "Sinner".

Now this book made me angry or upset, which ever you want. I couldn't stand the intolerance in the "Tolerance Is Beautiful". But if you really think about it, you can tolerate when others don't agree with you, but you can't tolerate when they say you are wrong, and have said it over the course of two thousand years. The keg gets closer and closer to exploding.

It is a good book. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but then again the info on the back did leave me with much of an idea as to what to be expecting. The ending of course was my favorite. But I'm sorry Ted the part where Billy….got back at Black was hard for me to picture.

There was really only one cuss word in the book, which was good. But it was full of hate and anger, which I assume is explained in the preceding stories and is more understood at the end. I really wouldn't have minded if a few things were fixed by those who scrambled them, but the end days come the way they are supposed to.

A Long Stay In A Distant Land

A Long Trip In a Distant Land by Chieh Chieng


I really enjoyed this book and laughed out loud several times. There is definitely humor in it. The part about Deliverance really made me laugh, I tried to tell my husband between spirts of laughter and he laughed too. I really like how the Lum family had such matter of fact short answers.

Even though there was cussing I'll suggest this book. There wasn't a lot of cussing but there was enough to annoy to me. Melvins Aphorisms were great, and I wish they knew what number 11 meant. Chieh did a really good job with the shifting of the chapters, at first i was a little hesitant about it but it was great. A really good job. The last two sentences kind of confused me but not a big deal.

The Lum family interactions were pretty funny though, maybe some not in the laugh or laugh out loud sort of way but in the ironic but a smile on your face, still classifies as funny kind of way. So I guess humorous would be a better word right?

Part of me thinks Louis should have stayed in Hong Kong, but he probably found more meaning and love in his life, right?
