Movie Review: Beastly
Beastly
Premise
Kyle is Mr. Good Looks and Popularity until he pisses off the school witch. Now he's cursed. He's lost the looks he used to trade in on and is replaced with a body he can't even stand to look at. He has one year to find someone to love him despite his looks or he'll be trapped that way forever.
Review
This is the classic Beauty and the Beast story. I mean almost verbatim but

Movie Review: Battle Los Angeles
Battle: Los Angeles
Premise
Aliens have invaded Earth. Humans are fighting back with everything they've got and then some. To wipe out the alien threat, a missile strike that will decimate an entire city is ordered. One marine unit is sent in to extract any remaining civilians before the bombs start dropping.

This is not ID4. This is not witty banter and cute jokes made by a group of

My Heart Goes Out...
- One of the top five strongest earthquakes since the early 1900s.
- Strongest earthquake to hit Japan in about 140 years.
My heart goes out to Japan, a country whose culture, people, and creations I love dearly.

It's That Time Again...
I've got the spring cleaning bug. But it's not the same as the usual spring cleaning bug. While my house does need some major TLC, I'm more thinking of my website.
My account with Website Tonight is almost up. Back when I renewed it two years ago, I said I wouldn't renew it again simply because WT is too limiting. There are a ton of things I can't do since it won't allow me to upload php and

Slight Delay
I didn't allow for certain things last week, like exhaustion after pulling a two night stint at my part time job (sporadic thing I do for some mad money) as well as spending the weekend in PA for the Alternative Living Expo signing, so it looks like I have to postpone my edit/tweak session of Pet's Pleasure for a few more days while I finish reading two books for the RITAs. I shouldn't have

Follow-Up: Alternative Living Expo
I'm back home after the weekend spent in PA. Flash and I stayed at PJ Schynder's house with her lovely dogs Chelsea (shelty), Kaiser (german shepherd), and Mozart (wolf mix with odd eyes). Fun time for all though I'm sure poor Mozart was happy to have us out of the house. Poor baby was stressing himself out with so many females in the same room. I'm sure any guys reading this can sympathize. :P

Movie Review: Drive Angry
Drive Angry
Basic Premise
Milton is a man on a mission. His daughter has been brutally murdered and his granddaughter was kidnapped by devil worshipers intent on sacrificing her to usher in the coming of the new era of darkness. That era has to get past Milton first.
Review
Well, I can say this -- the movie lived up to its title. There was a lot of angry driving. I wish I hadn't had to pay
