Slam (3/5)
Author: Nick Hornby.
I think every boy in Grade 9 should be forced to read this. If I was 15, I would have probably been mortified and taken some advice from this book. Who doesnt fear teenage pregnancy at that age? Unfortunately, Im not in Grade 9, nor did I get anyone pregnant at 15, so I couldn't really relate to the book. However, I still liked it because of the witty British humour and the "dysfunctional" family aspects. Definitely an easy and quick read. Hornby's other novels you might have heard about are About a Boy, High Fidelity, & Fever Pitch...which makes me think this will eventually be a movie as well.
The Mechanic (4.5/5)
"Follows an elite hit man as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims."
Full of action and some pretty intense fighting sccenes; one in particular that was hilariously intense. It's nothing new for Jason Statham to be in an action packed movie like this, but it's nice to see Ben Foster getting into more and more movies and genres.
Bell (1/5)
shit.
SLAM - so, it's sort of Juno, from a boy's perspective? PS: Have you Bridesmaids yet???? MUST SEE. All I'm gonna say.....
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty much a perfect description! It's Juno from a British Boy's perspective! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAs for Bridesmaids, I've still not seen it, but it's on my list of movies to check out! Everyone has told me it's amazing!
