Book 15 and movie review

I just finished "Best of Friends" by Cathy Kelly. I really loved it. I had read another book by this author and really enjoyed her style of writing. I highly recommend.

Watched Capote. Yawn. Watched The 40 Year Old Virgin. Seriously, the part where the pothead said he takes 3 Excedrin PM and then tries to ejaculate before falling asleep made me laugh so hard that I almost missed the next part. Steve Corell (or however you spell his name) is a RIOT. Then I decided to hit the hay and a movie I had on my Netflix list was on a movie channel, The Forgotten. I really had high hopes for this. Basically Julianne Moore plays a mother who is in therapy dealing with the death of her son who perished in a plane crash. Then, very suddenly, it becomes apparent that perhaps she is a nut job who never had a son and is manufacturing these "memories" to deal with a miscarriage. Lots of government type intrigue which basically led up to the reason for the "abductions" of these children who were supposed on the plane being:

Brace y'allselves.

Ready?

ALIENS.

I shit you not. I was like "Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Julianne, you should be ashamed." What a lame ass flick.

I have to go cook dinner shortly and finish up some work, but I figured I had better share some movie/book info before or I would totally forget.
