A few weeks before I went to Tahoe, it was absolutely gorgeous & I went snowboarding one of the days. I even went to see The Golden Compass. I loved the books, so I had to see the movie. I really liked it and thought it did the book justice. I'm excited to see the next two. I also finished the "Griffin & Sabine Trilogies" while in Tahoe. Such great books!! I love them, they are like adult pop-up books. And the stories are super interesting. The ending was much better than the first trilogy. No wonder Nick Bantock had to write another one.
I finished "Replay" by Ken Grimwood. It started out slow, but turned out to be a really cool book. A great story. I think it would make a great movie. And lastly, I read "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" by Philip K. Dick. It was really good, as Philip K. Dick novels go. My only real qualm with it is that he tried to put a lot of religious undertones into it. It kinda bothered me in that, I'd rather make those assumptions on my own from the story, rather than him telling me to think that.
I just saw "There Will be Blood", "Kite Runner" & "The Prisoner: Or How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair" over the weekend. "There Will be Blood" is a very creepy movie. Daniel Day Lewis is extremely talented & amazing. I still am unsure whether I liked it. It's not entertaining per se, but it is a great movie. It's tells a crazy story & had me enthralled throughout the entire 3 hours of the film. "Kite Runner" was really good. Actually was very close to the book and the acting was magnificent. I really enjoyed it. "The Prisoner" was an amazing documentary. I really thought it had a little bit of everything & was very well put together.
That's all I got for now. Tahoe in another month...I can't wait. So awesome.
