Nergasm if you grew up in 80s geekville. Almost super clever, but ultimately felt gimmicky. (Book #21, 5.24.2012, ****)

Majoring in Whit Stillman movies, so this was a strong start. I may have expected a bit much though. (Movie #29, 5.09.2012, B)
The movie event of the summer! I'm so biased here but this was so amazing. (Movie #28, 5.3.2012, A)

Smart integration of Poe's stories -- definitely read beforehand. Film could have been much better though. (Movie #27, 4.29.2012, C)

Incredible collection of short stories. Loved so many of them. Can't wait to read her other stuff. (Book #19, 4.29.2012, *****)

Been waiting to read Scalzi for awhile. Wanted a bit more from OMW but overall satisfied and impressed by its smoothness. (Book #18, 4.26.2012, ****)

Slow moving but atmospheric, with great dialogue and acting. (Movie #26, 4.25.2012, B+)

Loved L.A. Confidential years ago, and realized this was much the same. A bit formulaic second time around. (Book #17, 4.19.2012, ****)

A romantic comedy that shows a slice of life in Hong Kong / China. Delightful and surprisingly semi-deep. (Movie #25, 4.17.2012, B+)

Lazy, uninspired, pretty terrible. But Guy Pearce is fantastic so he should do more action roles. (Movie #24, 4.17.2012, D+)
Greta Gerwig is the best and while this quirky talky isn't for everyone, I loved it. (Movie #23, 4.17.2012, B+)

Maurene Goo LOVED this book.
It takes patience to digest this, but it's fascinating if this topic matter is up your alley. (Movie #22, 3.31.2012, B-)

Exactly what you'd expect: Senseless action and brutal dialogue. Just what the doctor called for! (Movie #21, 3.29.2012, C)

alice I liked it, but I wanted So. Much. More. Or as my co-worker said, You wanted the book. :P
Sushi porn, you'll want to drop the cash to go eat this up this deliciousness. (Movie #19, 3.25.2012, A)

David Carr is fascinating, but the film is a bit all over the place. (Movie #18, 3.25.2012, B)
It's hard to be objective here. Movie looks good, acting is surprisingly good, and the content, that depends on your Rand tolerance. (Movie #17, 3.25.2012, C)
Coined as a "romantic horror," something to watch to avoid having children, and marriage. (Movie #16, 3.9.2012, B)

Great action, shoddy acting, but everything I wanted it to be. (Movie #12, 2.26.2012, B)
A Miyazaki is still a Miyazaki, but this one was a bit light and too straightforward. (Movie #11, 2.18.2012, B-)

Filmed at UMich, my alma mater. Nicely shot and acted, but plot kind of loses its way. (Movie #10, 2.10.2012, C+)

A tad gimmicky, started better than it finished, but entertaining nonetheless. (Movie #9, 2/7/2012, B)
Topped many best-of lists, lauded by critics, nominated for foreign Oscar, all worthy accolades. (Movie #8, 2/6/2012, A)
Another quit. I thought I would like it, but it was bad on so many levels. Nothing like playing MW3 (Book #--, 2.1.2012, Incomplete)
An action movie with no action. Thanks Soderbergh. Skip unless you like Gina Carano. (Movie #7, 1/25/2012, C-)

Christopher Ueda Friend said it was pretty good...
J.A. Yang Your friend was wrong. It was not good, sadly.
I'm learning to use my hands as an ocarina because of this movie. It's not as easy as it looks. (Movie #6, 1/18/2012, C)

Leah Haverkos I luh this movie!
J.A. Yang I am trying to learn that hand whistle. It's much harder than it looks!
Noel Temple Great movie...don't forget the tissues
Shah Wharton want to watch this.
The state of Hawaii has 25% white people; this movie had a 99% white cast. I am a newfound fan of Judy Greer though. (Movie #2, 1/2/2012, B-)

The best part of this was the use of Leona Lewis. "You cut me open and I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love" (Movie #4, 1/6/2012, C-)

Shah Wharton Mr Kutcher lost my respect - thought he was all good too! Ho hum.. Haven't seen this - any good?
J.A. Yang I much preferred Friends With Benefits! And I love Portman too...
Much better than No Strings Attached. JT and MK actually have chemistry and a friendship to risk. (Movie #5, 1/6/2012, B-)

Shah Wharton Oh this looks good :)
J.A. Yang This is so good, altho I can see the mixed reactions.
Fetching pins…
Jenne Bergstrom by far his best book IMO
J.A. Yang Oh really? It's all downhill from here? I was wondering what else to try.
Jenne Bergstrom I've read a few others but didn't love them.
