Lest you think this blog will devolve into a long litany of geek related pregnancy anecdotes, I bring to you a series of quick reviews!
Hot Fuzz
Finally saw this movie on the weekend and wow! Kick ass! The homage to the buddy cop genre with copious amounts of blood thrown in was wonderful. We also watched the US tour footage where the men stripped to their underwear during phone interviews. And cake flushing? Gross but hilarious!
Ruby in the Smoke
One of Philip Pullman’s early works, this Victorian thriller follows Sally Lockheart as she tries to unravel the mystery behind her father’s death. A fun read that lets you see Pullman’s writing style develop.
Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Blinking Eye
I love Trixie Belden. When I was 8 or 9, my stepmother introduced me to this series. For years, I have hunted second hand bookstores and garage sales looking for the books I was missing in my collection. Imagine my joy when they started republishing the stories. This one follows Trixie and the gang to New York where Trixie buys a statue in an antique store. Immediately she is followed and harassed by two scary men. Full of twists and turns, and incredibly dated language, this was a fun book.
More later.
