Action. Adventure. Heirs of the Knights of the Round Table. Expensive cars. Fights. Guns. Flatulence.
These are just some of the main points of The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp (Yancy). Overall, a good book. I had problems getting into it, but I think it was just personal preference. I would definitely recommend this to boys. It could almost be a movie, with the high speed car chases and sword fights.
I am also working on Twilight (Meyer). It tugs at me, making me want to just sit down and read the whole series. I'm trying to pace myself, to not get engrossed only to have to wait a month to read the last book (I'll be on vacation when Breaking Dawn is released). So until then, my obsessive tendencies are kept at bay.
Movies? Jumper was better than I expected. Not an award winner, by far, but it was entertaining. It would also be a cool ability to have, to go wherever you want.
Be Kind Rewind... I think I'm missing something. Yeah, it was cute. But it didn't really hold my interest. There was just too much going on, with the jazz musician, the movie making, the people, and corporate America trying to take down the little (and decrepit) business. It had its moments where I couldn't help but laugh, but for the most part, it was just chaos.
