SAMR – Plane
How stupid is this action movie? If you know anything about avionics, you’ll be working hard to suspend your disbelief. There are other points where you really have to squint to stay with the story. Also, Gerard Butler suddenly becomes proficient at fixing all kinds of things and knows how to move in a military […]
2023 Book Fight!
That’s right, I’m doing it again! Last year’s book fight tournament motivated me to read books I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. I did make a few changes for this year: All the books are from my TBR (no recommendations this time). I’ve grouped them by genre, as best as possible, to make the match ups […]
Book Fight Update
Here it is! The end of the 2022 Book Fight Tournament. Was Polaris Rising my favorite book of the year? It was certainly one of them. Honestly though, the champion slot could have gone to any number of these books. I’ll be doing this again in 2023, because I managed to get a big chunk […]
SAMR—Bullet Train
How stupid is this action movie? It’s … actually not that stupid, if you suspend disbelief surrounding the multiple assassins/crime boss plot. Would I let the little’un and the big’un watch it? I would, with the caveat that my kids aren’t sensitive to stupid action movies from sheer exposure. LOL They weren’t at all interested […]
Book Fight Update
You would think these books would be on complete opposites of the spectrum, but they do have one thing in common: they are both raunchy. One is erotic while the other ribald, so even that similarity only goes so far. Fool is a retelling of Shakespeare’s King Lear from the fool’s perspective. It warmed my […]
Book Fight Update
I actually enjoyed Girls Weekend more than Morning Glory Milking Farm (growing up around cattle tempers your enjoyment of reading sexy Minotaurs), and although Playing for Keeps was entertaining, the idea the heroine was a project the hero needed to fix bothered me. Wolf Girl sent me on a binge through all four books in […]
It’s fall y’all!
I love fall. It’s my favorite time of year, and to celebrate, let’s do a fun poll! Don’t like any of the choices? Tell me your favorite pie in the comments. [yop_poll id=”3″]
Book Fight Update
Both of these were good, but Love & Curse Making won because it was light, fun, and hot. It does end with a lot of loose ends, but I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger. I felt lost through much of Woman of Blood & Bone, only to find out later that it’s a spinoff series. […]
SAMR – The Gray Man
How stupid is this action movie? It’s standard super-spy stupid. People do things that probably aren’t possible (fighting with serious injuries) but it’s all pretty standard action movie fare. Would I let the little’un and the big’un watch it? Hmm. The level of violence is John Wick-ish even though it’s rated PG13. My kiddos are […]
