fiercebunnyBooks read in February
The Hostile Hospital - Lemony Snicket
Madame Serpent - Jean Plaidy
The first in a trilogy about Catherine de Medici. Kinda sympathetic, kinda creepy at this point.
The Stupidest Angel - Christopher Moore
Christmas zombies, very funny. May need to find more of his books.
A Very Long Engagement - Sebastian Japrisot
Very good, but I think the movie did a better job of plotting.
The Probable Future - Alice Hoffman
Should have been called "The Predictable Future". I used to really enjoy Hoffman's style of magical realism, but her lastest couple of books have just bored. It wasn't bad, but in the end left me rather cold. It's pretty much a chicklit with a twist of magical realism
The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists - Gideon Defoe
Laughed out loud. I hope they make a movie of this so it can piss off Creationists and also so they can cast Eddie Izzard as the Pirate Captain.
The Italian Woman - Jean Plaidy
The 2nd Catherine de Medici book. Definitely more evil.
Okay, Movies for February
Quills - Very good, especially for a movie that has a graphic scene involving poop.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow - Iron Giant attacks. I enjoyed the part where Jude Law punched out Gwyneth Paltrow's annoying character. I would have punched her out earlier personally.
Before Sunset - Loved the ending. Thought it did a good job revisiting the characters. Prolly better than the first one.
Dangerous Liasons - John Malkovich is kinda sexy in this. Shit, did I say that out loud?
Much Ado About Nothing - I really like Beatrice and Benedick, but cannot understand why Hero doesn't beat the crap out of Robert Sean Leonard.
The Cat Returns - Cute, but not as good as Whisper of the Heart, which I adored. Also, why does the animation quality not look as good as other Studio Ghibli films? It doesn't have the same distinct style and looks more like an average anime.
P.S. - There's really no way of saying, "I think you're my dead, reincarnated boyfriend" without sounding like a total idiot, is there?
