Wanted

THis was a pretty good action movie with a pretty good premise. I like the secret society movies, and all the conspirace theory generators. This is the Stroy of young Wesley Gibson (James Mcevoy), who has never met his father, who gets recruited by a secret society his father belonged to on the day of his dad's death. He must go through grueling training to try to kill his father's killer. He is trained and protected by Fox(Angelina Jolie). It also has great fight scenes.
The funny part is when Sloan(Morgan Freeman), the boss of the Fraternity Swears and says motherf*****, I don't beleive he would actually say that.

Debutante Divorcée

THis second book by vogue contributing writer Plum Sykes is Just as good as her first effort (berdorf Blondes). It is just as airy and fun. However, her characters are not only divas for the most part but likeable ones with hearts of gold.
This was wonderful

Bottle Shock

This is one great movie about the Americans we love and their great entrepreneurial spirit, and not The George Dubya mercenary version. It is the story of when the Chateau Montelena from Napa California was chosen as the best white wine over French much to the European's disbeleif, horror and disgust. It is also the little guy, in this case the Americans, and their innocent dreams versus the big snobby establishment, the Europeans.
I love both Americans and Europeans, but they both have their faults as all other countries and continents.

I have also missed Bill Pullman.
This is a must see and should not be in limited release.

Some Like it Hot

Marilyn Monroe deserves to be seen on the big screen.
Some Like it hot starring Marylin Monroe and Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon is really very funny. Tomy Curtis was quite good looking too.
The Movie is about two male musicians who witness a mob hit and to escape they dress up as female musicians and meet up with a female music troup that includes Sugar Kane (Monroe). Love, laughs, beauty and drag what's not to love.

Bergdorf Blonde

This book by Vogue contributing editor Plum Sykes was a fun read. I couldn't put it down. In the same way I could not put down Brightness Falls. However that is where the similarities end. Bergdorf was a great chicklit book if you love books like Brigitte Jones or the Shopaholic books.

Brightness Falls

This Jay McInerney endeavour was exceptional.
His writing is different and the story is less immediately shocking than Bright Lights Big City and Story of my Life, yet not any less interresting. You just want to read the whole book in one sitting. I would love this to be made into a movie. I now have to read his other works. Although, I am not sure about his works on wine.
