just a few reviews...

Being unemployed, I've been reading a lot of books and seeing a lot of movies lately. Luckily for you, dear LJ friends, my life is so boring that I have absolutely no backlog of like, personal revelations to torment you with, although I have had some lovely days with fuzzz_brain recently, the kind that have been so delightful that in a movie or bestseller, they'd probably be foreshadowing a death via some kind of ironic supernatural fate that could have been avoided had the characters only gotten together halfway through and compared notes on the mysterious events that were occurring. A fate delivered, no doubt, in a dark church vestibule surrounded by the art of the homeless, by a fundamentalist polygamous FLDS cult leader armed with extremely ironic vintage postcards and homoerotic board games. And bacon.

Cut for non-egregious spoilers. The kinds of things that when reviewers say them, make me want to see the movie/read the book more, but bother some people. That is, a few plot points, but not full-on summaries or trick ending reveals or anything.
