Cute story with fun characters. (0 more)
Classic Kinsella
Kinsella is back with another light hearted, funny, wonderful novel. Something interesting is that Katie, the main character, is a little more down to earth and less crazy than the typical Kinsella heroine (whole I love just as much). This was a fun read. ?

Has not held up well. Has been played to much to be funny any more. At this point it is more annoying then funny (0 more)

The Usual Suspects (1995)
1995 | Drama, Mystery
A classic if ever there was, a simple mystery story woven with such style and intricate character development it has you entranced as you attempt to untangle the web of intrigue it builds with great tension, each of the characters is thoroughly unlikeable and stereotypical and the ending is a peach.

1983 | Comedy
An Hilarious take on the Prince and the Pauper played to great effect by Eddie Murphy as the poor man suddenly thrust into the money markets of Pork bellies and frozen orange juice, it's showing it's age badly now, but still very funny and a good retelling of the Twain classic.

If your not used to the manga tradition of reading back to front this can be slightly confusing to start with but once you are used to it becomes easier. The book is well designed and beautifully illustrated though out and brings new life to classic works of Edgar Allan Poe.

A classic picture book that challenges kids to try new things. And yet it's repetition is part of the fun and charm. Silly, but with a good point.

A decent comedy with a good assembled cast line up. It has quite a lot of funny moments but to be honest when I first saw the trailers I thought this could be a classic. Unfortunately it didn't reach that level, but still worth a viewing for a few laughs.

1978 | Action, Drama
This is a fantastic film except for a couple of awkward moments. One being Lois' poetry and the other the unfortunate inclusion of "Give a Little Bit" by Supertramp. Those two moments are the only things that truly date the movie in my eyes. Despite all that, it's still a classic.

such a fun clever witty read. One if the biggest complaints is although it has multiple pov everything is in first person which can be a little confusing at first. However each character has a distinct personality making it easier to sort out. I highly recommend this adaptation of a classic.
