{August 28, 2008}   Wedding for Bella

This movie I watched last night.  It was a complete surprise because is it a good Scott Baio movie!  This movie reminds me of the Big Fat Greek Wedding flavor, but with Italians.  This was a very good and sad move.  Filed under romantic comedy, which I am unsure of why.  It was originally released with a different name, but a strong plot.  The development of the characters in this storyline was surprising and delightful.  I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars.



{August 28, 2008}   Vanity Fair

This series I have recently watched was the A&E version.  Let me start by saying the acting and all was superb for this series.  I personally didn’t like some of the characters in the story itself, which is my personal opinion.  There is nothing wrong the series, but my dislike with some of the characters including the main character.  Also the secondary female lead seems to be a victim-like.  My rating: 3 out of 5 stars.



{January 12, 2008}   MISCHIEF IN MAGGODY by Joan Hess

I pulled this book out of the bag of books my mom gave me. Basically it is about a rural cop that is trying to solve a murder, find the fathers for a passel of illegitimate children and the growers of a massive patch of weed. In this book much mayhem in sues as the children are filthy and foul in every since of the word and the fact that this town only has 756 residents. Yes it is one of those small southern towns. The first tip off this book might not be too bad was the fact that Barbara Michaels (a favorite author of mine) is quoted on the front of the book. This was in my opinion a good read for a classic mystery, but no suspense as some can be so I am giving it 2 stars out of five.
