This was a pretty good movie about a couple going through a divorce. I don’t know why, but I thought it was going to be more about the marriage end of things rather than the divorce end of things, but that was not the case. I am glad that Brian and I were able end things amicably. I don’t know how anyone can afford a protracted divorce dispute.
My rating: 3.5/5
I watched this adaptation of the Stephen King novel last night and found it to be quite good. Granted, it’s not the best Stephen King story of a person tethered to a bed (that would be Misery), but I was pleasantly surprised nonetheless (so many of his great stories have been made into horrible movies). It has been quite some time since I have read the novel, but I think it followed it pretty closely.

When I had those issues with my old washing machine recently, I did a Google search to see if I had any recourse. I didn’t, really. I could have written to Whirlpool and they might have opted to fix it, but that wasn’t too likely. But, I did see something about certain credit cards offering an extended warranty on items that were purchased for the card. I totally forgot about that! I looked into it and, lo and behold, my credit card did indeed offer an extended warranty on purchases. It was just an extra year, but that covered the price of the service call and parts and I was happy to get the reimbursement. And, I got in just under the buzzer, as I bought the washer two years ago this December.
And, it makes me feel better about my dishwasher purchase from earlier this year and my refrigerator purchase from this month, knowing that they’ll also have their warranties extended by a year.
I watched this amusing comedy over the weekend. It was about a guy (played by Seth Rogan playing the same character as always) who reunites with his high school crush 25 years later, who happens to be the Secretary of State (played by Charlize Theron).
My rating: 3.5/5
You know how I feel about reading books after watching the movie…nevertheless, this was a pretty engrossing read. Since it hasn’t been that long since I’ve watched the movie, I was able to recall a few things from the plot and they followed each other pretty closely. Much like the movie, I enjoyed the book. I wanted to keep reading it, so that says something. And, I’m done right in time for Christmas, where I’ll hopefully get some new books to read (hint, hint).
My rating: 3.5/5
