yay it finally stopped raining. it was great to see blue skies and clouds that were not grey! another plus today, i finally figured out how to download "Lost" episodes from this website my cousin's bf recommended. it's www.easynews.com and you pay 10 bucks a month to download a maximum of 10 gigs of info(mp3, mpegs, avi, jpeg, docs, etc.) it's AWESOME. the download is fast b/c it's just files on a website and i feel more comfortable downloading in class cuz it's not like i have downloading software running. the songs are good quality and we'll see about the video stuff. anywho, here are 2 more reviews.....

(M) Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.(2004, Brad Silberling ) Grade: B

I think the producers/directors/actors did a fantastic job of putting these books into film. There additions to the story, which were definitely necessary to tie the whole thing together and give the audience some closure. I'm glad they put 3 books in one movie because if they had put each book in their own movies, it would be a little redundant. I don't know if anyone has read them, but each of the books follow the same basic plot: bad guy tries OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN to get to these kids' money and no one believes the kids. I dunno who LS got away with writing more than 3 of these, but hey, he's making money. I stopped reading after the 3rd book in the series.

(M) Spanglish.(2004, James L. Brooks) Grade: B

The only thing that sort of bugged me about the movie was that at the end of the story, one of the conflicts were resolved, but the other more emphasized conflict with the family was not. I don't really wanna get into details, but if you watch it you'll see. Otherwise, it was funny, sad, frustrating and heartwarming all at the same time.
