This is very addictive. The DEA should check to see if it contains crack. Now I'm listening to a bunch of radio shows that I never get to listen to directly on the radio. So now I'm always getting to...Softwarealycia2005-07-08T20:02:11-05:00TV Review: "30 Days"
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000387.html
Morgan Spurlock has done an excellent job with this show. You may remember his film Super-Size Me. In that film he spent an entire month where he ate nothing but food from McDonalds and used a pedometer to reduce his...TValycia2005-07-04T01:24:35-05:00The Princess Bride]]>

Last night I saw this film on the big scree for the first time. It was quite awesome. I still remember the first time I saw the movie the whole way through. I hadn't known Derrick (my husband) very long...Filmalycia2005-07-03T21:59:05-05:00Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkabahn -- J.K. Rowling
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000385.html
Well, I have two more of the Harry Potter books to go before July 16! I definitely don't want to be left out of all the fun then. Book three is pretty good, I don't think it is quite as...Booksalycia2005-07-03T21:48:02-05:00The War of the Worlds]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000379.html
This was excellent. Because of the upcoming release of the new version of War of the Worlds the The Oaks Theater had a special event. They played the radio broadcast of the story that scared the pants off of a...Filmalycia2005-06-28T20:38:16-05:00Kung Fu Hustle]]>

A friend of mine brought this disc to watch. It was hilarious. It was Shaolin Soccer x2! It seemed like the film was just an excuse to make a bunch of cheesy jokes, but that's okay. It's always worked for...DVD/Home Videoalycia2005-06-28T20:23:28-05:00Runny Babbit (a Billy Sook) - by Shel Silverstein]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000375.html
This book is great. It's absolutely hilarious. It was publihsed posthumously by Silverstein's family. I let a few of the kids I work with take it home to read because there was no way I could read it to them....Booksalycia2005-06-24T14:20:05-05:00Bruce Almighty]]>

I watched this movie earlier this evening with my family (on my mom's side). It was a lot of fun. Jim Carrey gave a great comedic performance with just the right amount of sappy romanticism. The basic plot is this....DVD/Home Videoalycia2005-06-17T02:17:13-05:00Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000364.html
I haven't read this before, nor have I seen the film. I need to get with the program and read all of these Harry Potter books before the new one comes out. I work at a school so all of...Booksalycia2005-06-14T11:32:34-05:00Fluke (I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings) by Christopher Moore]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000362.html
I can't say I didn't like this book because I definitely did. However it's just not as funny as Lamb which had me laughing out loud (and driving my husband crazy). Don't get me wrong there's plenty of silliness and...Booksalycia2005-06-13T21:03:52-05:00Layer Cake]]>

A fantastic gangster-type film. Not heady or overproduced--it's just a lot of fun. It should be out on DVD soon. MY RATING: 4/5...Filmalycia2005-06-13T20:54:39-05:00The Animation Show 2005]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000354.html
Wow. This was a weird one. This film consisted of several animated short films. They were all good. There was one called "Ward 13" that I didn't quite understand, but it was entertaining anyway. You should go see this. It's...Filmalycia2005-06-07T01:04:17-05:00Spaceballs ]]>

I finally saw this great film on the big screen. It was part of The Oaks Theater's (Oakmont, PA) summer Moonlit Matinee's. I can honestly say that I was shocked at the crappy editing in this film. I guess it...Filmalycia2005-06-07T00:44:36-05:00Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room]]>
http://www.dementia.org/~alycia/blog/reviews/archive/000340.html
This was a very thought provoking look at the rise and fall of Enron. I thought the entire Enron scandal was unbelievable before; but now I'm blown away even more. I don't want to give anything away here but I...Filmalycia2005-05-19T00:57:46-05:00The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy (Feature Film)]]>

Since Hollywood has decided that books, radio series and TV miniseries are not enough we now have a feature film based on Douglas Adams' masterpiece. I re-read the book in anticipation of the film so that I would be able...Filmalycia2005-04-30T12:24:50-05:00
