Boy
Boy is a movie from the Philippines. It’s an indie film about two boys who come together for a brief amount of time. It’s one of those movies that’s a slice of a person's life. There is no neat as a bow happy ending or bad ending. That piece of their life is just over. There is some really bad poetry, and a lot of aquariums that are used as a metaphor for the two boys lives. I didn’t hate the movie, although I found the beginning uncomfortable and hard to get through. I also didn’t love the...
Poison Oak, Oz, and Magic with Angela Wallace
Hello everyone I've decided to stop being such a loner and invite others over to play. Today I have the pleasure of interrogating sharing my blog with Angela Wallace. Angela Wallace has been penning adventures ever since she was sucked through a magical portal as a child. What she saw and whom she met gave birth to exciting and complex fantasy worlds where defying the laws of physics was a bonus. She has since come back down to earth, only to discover this mortal realm has magic of its own....
Alica’s OCD tips for Holiday Happiness (pat. pending)
By now most of you have gotten all of the holiday decorations put away, new gifts have found homes, and at least one credit card statement has shown up in the mail; you may or may not have been brave enough to open it yet. One thing I feel safe betting on is most of you have vowed to do things differently next year. But how are you going to do that? What can you change to make the next holiday season better and do you really need to think about it now? I have become one of those people who...
I Saw the Devil
You know those movies where the good guy arrests the bad guy instead of killing him or her? Or the one where the bad guys dies and it’s over so quickly that you feel cheated and you’re yelling at the screen “He needed to suffer, suffer and then die.” I hope that’s not just me? Anyway I Saw the Devil is not one of those movies. This is a movie about revenge, about making the bad guy pay for every second of pain he caused you. This is a movie that makes you wonder how cruel and sadistic you...
Your opinion is wanted – really I mean it.
Spurred on by Myndi Shafer's post on log lines I have decided to beg, plead, and give puppy eyes to get you're most valuable and knowledgeable opinion. I have three blurbs for you to vote on- you can even tweak them or create a new one if you feel that inspired. People I like and respect have all chosen one of these three as their favorites- of course they didn't pick the same blurb, that would make my life too easy! So please help out a new freaking out author and vote! 1-Sara had given up on...
At least there’s a glass . . .
I realized that I have become a pessimist, and not a simple "the glass is half empty" pessimist, more of a "I bet someone put poison in that glass and is going to charge me to drink out of it, and then it’s going to break into a thousand pieces, each one cutting me before I begin foaming at the mouth and die in writhing agony" kind of a pessimist. I wasn’t always this way. I use to smile and laugh all the time. I looked forward to what the day would bring, and be grateful for all that I had,...

Actually, with the internet...
Korean sci-fi
2009 Lost Memories- I have another Korean movie for you. This one has a bit of a sci-fi theme to it. It’s an alternate reality where Japan joined America in WWII and then took over Korea and most of Eastern Asia. I had fun watching this movie. Hubby and I yelled at the TV during the cheesy parts and got into the drama of the plot during the rest. There were some parts where the film was grainy- maybe they ran out of money for special effects? One thing I enjoyed is as the hero grows and...

More Food Porn with two Fat Ladies
Two Fat Ladies is a hysterical British cooking show staring Clarissa Dickson-Wright and Jennifer Paterson. The ladies travel around England in a motorcycle with a sidecar. The ladies use fresh, local ingredients to make traditional English meals. This is a wonderful peek into the English countryside and watching them cook is so much fun! As a vegetarian I can’t eat most of what the ladies cook, but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the show anyway. They are so sarcastic and snarky, it’s a...
