Reviews in 50 Words Or Less

I often think to myself that I should write a review of a book or movie. I almost never get around to it because it seems like too big of a hassle. Still, I’d like to record what I’ve read or watched because the truth is that sometimes I forget. From here on, I’m going to try an experiment to see if it motivates me. So to start things off here are a few reviews:

Love Actually

This movie is a charming and honest (and charming for its honesty) look at love and all its bittersweet agonies.

2010

Much chattier than Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece (comparisons are unavoidable), this movie was still an enjoyable show. Plus, you get to find out what the monoliths are all about.

Bluebeard

This is my first Vonnegut book. I allowed the hype surrounding Vonnegut raise my expectations a little too high. The book is an interesting examination of the human condition and the search for meaning despite inescapable mediocrity.

Ahhh, now that wasn’t so hard. :)

    Love Actually is one of my favorite movies, ever.

    Love actually is much better than your average formulaic chick flick.

    BTW, glad to see you considering blogging again, wherever that may be. :)
