Thursday I went and seen The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. After the disappointment of Beautiful Creatures I didn't want to get my hopes up too much. But it turned out to be a good film, sticking close to the book. I especially enjoyed the action scenes. I know there are haters of the movie out there already, but I think most fans will be pleased.

I also went and seen Lee Daniels' The Butler. This was such a moving film. Excellent! Definitely go and see it if you get the chance.

Movies/TV/Trailers: 
My obsession this week was Hemlock Grove. It premiered last week on Netflix. All 13 episodes are available now.  Absolutely intriguing, I loved it It has small town secrets, vampires, werewolves. It's quite gory, but if you love that stuff your gonna love the show. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it gets a second season.  Hemlock Grove is based on a book with the same name by Brian McGreevy.

I went and seen Beautiful Creatures yesterday. I loved it, but at the same time I was a bit disappointed at how they changed things and left stuff out... but it's Hollywood what can you do.  For me the book is the better format.


The Host - This is the next movie I plan to go see. I loved the book and so far the trailers are looking good.

Random Info
  • I didn't receive any books this week, sad I know. So, here I am
    with a Weekly Rewind. Which I'll be doing from now on when no books come in.
  • Finished my Christmas shopping and wrapped them. Along with wrapping
    most of my mom's presents too. I'm still sane ... mostly. :)
  • Finished watching The Walking Dead Seasons 1-3. I'm totally hooked
    and can't wait till February.

In Reading
  • For the last week or so I have been reading (or trying to)  King of the Dead by Joseph Nassise, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting into it. So, I have set it down for a while.. I'll come back to it at a later time.
  • I'm also reading Let it Bleed by Jeri Smith-Ready. It's #3.5 in the WVMP Radio series. I forgot how much I enjoy this series.
