Next - The Movie - A Review

Dont waste your time watching this movie unless you want to be dissapointed.

It could have been a good movie but they ruin it with the ending.

I hate when a movie leads you on a good story, just to drop you flat with a crappy ending! All it would have taken was a short 5 min scene at the end to wrap it up right, but no they had to ruin it.

For those poor souls that have wasted their time, it would have ended properly with another scene with her at the diner. Short, sweet, and closure. Or they could have just let it end where it should of before they had to put the big stupid twist in.

What a waste of a movie.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno - A movie review

This movie was actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I didnt actaully plan on watching it, but my husband had to watch it in the same room so I didnt really have a choice.

You can tell Kevin Smith was involved with this movie because everyone that is usually in his movie are in this movie as main characters.

It does have some ranchy moments to it, but no more than you would see in any other movie such as Clerks or Mall Rats.

Not as much Porn as you would think either. The story revolves more around the charcter's relationships in the story than porn.

It's a movie that, if you are a guy, you will think is hilarious. If you are a girl, its a movie that you can watch with you guy and still have something in it for you.

Rachel Getting Married - A Movie Review

Ok, so I have just watch this movie. You can definately tell it is an indie type movie.

I can see why Anne Hathaway was nominated, but I didnt care for the movie.

Her family annoyed me and no ones problems ever even get remotely resolved. Everyone is selfish and fights a lot and there are a lot of extended scenes that were not needed. You feel more like you are watching a reality show then a movie.

I hated everyone and wanted to do drugs by the time this movie was over. If you are into movies that make you rather depressed and are about depressing no-resolved issues, then you will like this movie.

I am thinking on the name for the cat compilation..

Not quite for sure what to name the second book. I can always go the generic route of "Stories about cats" but I would like to have something a little be more catchy.

I am open to suggestions. I hope to publish this one not to far behind the other. Dont forget you can still submit stories and poems.

My Cat Book Updates

So after a long time of trying to make things all layout together, I have decided to make 2 books. There are so many good stories, and they all arent funny, which my part of the book is all meant to be funny. So to keep both intact with their meanings, I have decided to make 2 books.

Bald Spots Make Me Look Sexy, Subtitle may be changing, will be about jelly and abby and thier craziness.

2nd book will be a compilation of stories of cats, of all different types, the point still being uplifting and such but not exactly funny.

The second book will out sometime after the bald spot book. I am still waiting on my illustrator.

This does give everyone a chance to submit now. I know there was some folks that wanted to submit a story but hadnt had time yet.

Please send them to stories@penelopesmithbooks.com

My Rant of the Day: Stop Being a Pawn in the Game!

I am soooooo tired of all the propaganda going on with stem cell research!

All this killing babies crap is just propaganda. Buy into if you must, but stop holding up potential cures for others.

They dont have to take them from embryos. That just happened to be where this type of research started. It has advanced far beyond that. You can get stem cells from your own body, not to mention other places.

Its just propaganda to stop stem cell research which might actually cure someone.

Sickness is more profitable then wellness. Dont be a pawn in the game.
