AWESOME !!!!
I have been waiting for this book since the last one came out (Which seems like for ever ago, but in reality was only a couple months).
Thor finally gets the girl, Or in this case a Queen Mother. Instead of the Queen Mother playing matchmaker this time, her kids decide to push her out side of her shell and set up a series of dates; really publicity stunts to gauge the public's response to the Queen Mother moving on and the possibility of new love for her. But the Queen Mother already has someone in mind, if she can get him to go along...
One of my favorite books by Carol Moncado so far, although I think I say that about ever book she writes. I would Highly recommend putting this book on your TBR Pile.

Almost certainly one of the best three Bill & Ted movies. The amiable rockers (now middle-aged and not exactly successful) discover they really do have to write the song that will save the world, or reality will explode.
More of the same as the first three, really: either deceptively clever or deceptively stupid, depending on where you're standing, with very funny performances from Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, who spend most of the film acting opposite themselves in increasingly outlandish prosthetic make-up. Rather generously, much of the film is given to their daughters, in a plotline leading up to a rather predictable climactic twist (clearly, white dudes are not capable of doing anything worthwhile any more). The message of the world coming together through song rings a bit false right now, but that's hardly the movie's fault). Amusing and difficult to dislike.

Based on the memoir of the same name by Jeff Bauman and Bret Witter. It follows Bauman, who loses his legs in the Boston Marathon bombing and how he must adjust to his new life.
I feel terrible that I didn't really enjoy this film. The story itself is such a powerful one, and moments in it are truly moving, but the film starts to drag a bit in places. I'm going to have to look into the comparisons between the movie and what actually happened, it's difficult to tell what they created for the script to make the movie chug along and what was real.
There are some very talented actors in this one though, and as I said, some very moving moments. For me though I think it's not quite the break from reality that I look for in a film.
