Read no Evil, See no Evil

During my anal retentive episodes, I usually like to make a list of things. This is one of them:

BOOKS

1. Finish the Twilight Saga. 3 more chapters and I'm done. If not for my obssesive compulsion to read a book from cover to cover, I would have moved on with my life. Instead, I expected too much from Meyer and I was too late to realize that she bored me to undeath. Twilight was okay, not your Lord of the Rings, but more Harry Potter meets Interview with a Vampire. Meyer should have ended there. But like the others who had come before her, she didn't and failed. She had to squeeze every drop of creative juice out of her when she obviously almost ran out on the first book (Note on Book 4: What kind of name is Renesmee?). It would have worked out the same if the baby turned out to be a boy named Blade.

2. Pick up Steve Berry. Yes, yes. Call me hyprocrite for riding with the religious conspiracy wagon but do I look like someone who cares? I like the stuff.

3. Barack got me curious. Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise. (GMA: The Promise starring Angel Locsin)

4. Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me. Certainly something I'd want to know.

5. Jessica Zafra what's the hold'up?

MOVIES

1. Quarantine - An urban Blair Witch Project.
2. Underworld Trilogy - research material for Stephanie Meyer
3. The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice - a sequel to Queen of the Damned
4. The Reader - Nicole Kidman was supposed to play the role. She should have taken it and I would have enjoyed it better.
5. The Day the Earth Stood Still - Director says, as motivation for Keanu's role, "Do it just like Constantine, The Lakehouse, and The Matrix"
6. Imprint - Sadistic.
7. Autopsy - Decapitation without sex doesn't work in Hollywood.
8. Punisher II - "You punish them, but who punishes you?" A film almost in irony of itself. Luckily, justice was given on this one.
9. Slumdog Millionaire - If it's not sex, it's poop. Pinoys already have the former covered.
10. Loveless In Los Angeles - Finally, a movie that doesn't try to be something more than a funny rip-off.
