RECOMMENDATIONS:
Movies:
Julie and Julia - you MUST see this movie! I'm just saying...
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - haven't seen it yet...no one seems to want to see this with me. NO...these books and movies are not just for kids. Call me a geek - I don't care! J.K. Rowling is genius!
Eastern Promises - on cable or DVD. I never wanted to see this one in the theater but watched it recently on cable. Excellent! Viggo Mortensen is amazing. Yes, it is very violent and comes right at you, but it is necessary to the plot. It's not gratuitous. I mean, we're talking about the Russian mob - not very nice guys. They make Tony Soprano look like a fat Italian garbage man.
Television:
Entourage - I am a latecomer to this one and I'm catching up. It is hilarious and smart; clever writing and in a word...Ari!
Saving Grace - I've been with this one from the first episode. I just got caught up on the last two episodes and am recording tonight's episode for later. It just gets better and better. Two words - Holly Hunter!
The Daily Show - Jon Stewart may just be the funniest, quickest, most clever man around today. Laugh out loud every night!
The Amazing Race - Only "reality" show I watch. It's smart, clever, challenging, interesting and keeps you guessing until the end. I keep trying to talk my brother into entering this with me but he never answers...
Books:
Anything by Anna Quindlen or Maya Angelou
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet - Again, a late comer to this one and I'm slowly making my way through it. Fascinating and reads like a modern thriller. It's extremely long but stick with it.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Terrific and moving!
The entire Harry Potter series. I've read all of them twice and will read them all again - in order! So there!
