Transformers
This movie was fantastic! The kids loved it, I loved it. It brings back my inner-geek from the 80's when Optimus Prime fought Megatron for supremacy. Buy your ticket, get the big bag of popcorn, and strap yourself in for the ride!
The Kite Runner
Every once in a while I read a book that changes my life and this is one of them. I tell you, you'll appreciate your life in the United States after reading this book. I'm stunned that it was fiction. It read like a true story. It's the story of a boy growing up in Afghanistan. It's a gut-wrenching, heartbreaking tome. I heard a lot of hype about this book and it's well deserved.
Blood Meridian
It's time for my annual reading of my all time favorite book- Blood Meridian. I've read this book every year since 1990. That's 17 straight years and I learn something new every single time. This book is violent, nasty, and brutal in it's telling of a band of rogues out getting Apache scalps on the Texas/Mexico border in 1849. Cormac McCarthy is insane with this book. The Road was awesome but I doubt he'll ever top this story. It's his masterpiece.
