A Media Year in Review
I enjoyed looking back at all the movies I watched in 2006!
Using this site I looked up all the movies made in 2006 sorted by gross.
(My ratings are included, out of five stars.)
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ***
X-Men: The Last Stand *
The Da Vinci Code *
Superman Returns ****
The Devil Wears Prada ***
The Departed ***
V for Vendetta *****
Little Miss Sunshine *****
The Prestige *****
Nanny McPhee ***
Stranger Than Fiction ****
Eragon **
The Holiday ** (would have been better if they'd cut out most of the first hour!)
Apocalypto ****
Thank You for Smoking ***
A Prairie Home Companion ****
I've also read a lot more this year, though I didn't keep a thorough list. Maybe I'll try to do better this year about writing down what I've read. I just finished Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King, and am well into DT VI: Song of Susannah. I'm also currently reading I'm a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson. A friend just loaned me Night by Elie Wiesel which I will probably try to conquer next since it's very short.
In TV, I watched the 3 seasons of Arrested Developement and loved them. I continued my obsession with Lost and anxiously await its return. I continue to enjoy Battlestar Galactica though I'm behind a few episodes! I finally saw Firefly and add my disbelief to all the other fans' when I say that I can't believe it got canceled! I just started watching Ugly Betty and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy it! I think I'll catch the new episode tomorrow. I do have to do some work sometime! (like now!)
But not before I address....games! I don't play many different computer or console games anymore. I consistently play The Sims 2, which I will always love. I just got the latest expansion pack, which has pets! I just got a PS2 (I'm a little behind the times) and I got Karaoke Revolution which is the best party game ever. I also bought Kingdom Hearts, which is threatening to eat my life. I've been playing FFVII for over a year now, but haven't picked it up in four or five months. I promise I'll finish it eventually. I was happy to recognise some of the characters from there in Kingdom Hearts though!
Ok, NOW I'll work!
