Absolutely stupid and ridiculous
Classic Rowan Atkinson, I really do love Johnny English. The story is over the top and I love that it steps into the latest technology with all the problems usually faced by Johnny.

So much fun, mindless film for when you want a laugh.

Book Favorite

"Despite being at the forefront of high-tech innovation in architecture, Wilkinson still uses drawing as a way to think through ideas, to grapple with design problems, and as a tool for communication. Many of the drawings were done with a small set of watercolors (mixed with gin?) while traveling on airplanes."

Heartwarming comedy
One of my favourite Jim Carrey films. A boy wishes his father can not tell a lie. He also ends up not helping to be able to tell the truth and what he really thinks. Which has added problems as he works as a lawyer. Very funny!

All the feels!
This book was so emotional! It was funny, clever, concerning, and so very sad. The main characters interacted splendidly and it was interesting to see how they each chose how to handle their similar problems. I read this in one night and was a sobbing mess at the end.

Rolling Stone's 349th greatest album of all time
Superb hip hop album by one of the greatest. While his voice lacks depth somewhat, compared to others, he makes up for this with excellent lyricism and the music backing it. Including 99 Problems, Dirt off Your Shoulder and an excellent reworking of Madonna's Justify My Love.

As Jamie Grimm prepares for the regionals in the Planet's Funniest Kid Contest, he must continue to deal with typical middle school problems like figuring out girls and relationships, his friend's problems, and tutoring his cousin who also happens to be the class bully.

I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series, possibly because I saw the more slice of life nature of the book. Some stories start and end early while others for running threads that last longer. Holding it all together is the comic contest. The fun illustrations help make this book a very fast read.

Beginners guide to philosophical problems
This was required reading for my first philosophy class, as a complete beginner it is a great introduction to the problems within philosophy. Most essays easy to read and understand. This isn't just for people studying philosophy, it's for anyone questioning any preconceptions or beliefs they have, this helps you break them down and think logically about them, sometimes you change your mind and something's you find valid reasons for your beliefs and they are reinforced.
Philosophy is a great place to start if you find your life is at a cross roads or you are questioning g things in your life.

Tron: Betrayal

Book Rating
A very enjoyable ride that spans the gap between Tron and Tron: Legacy, showcasing the origins of the grid, and Flynn's growing problems dedicating himself to the three worlds he finds himself in: the Grid, running Encom, and parenthood. Great art and storytelling, and while we know the inevitable conclusion it moves toward, most importantly, it FEELS like Tron.

Contains spoilers, click to show
This moved the story along for the first film with some nice call backs to James Franko's character later on.

Overall I enjoyed this but it suffers from the same problems as the first film, a slightly meandering plot that would have been better served by less running time.
