April movies

by Michael on Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford [5/5] [Amazon]
This is a slow movie, but if you know that going in then you can take the time to appreciate what a fine piece of filmmaking it is. From the atmospheric cinematography, to the excellent performances by both Casey Affleck and Brad Pitt, [...]

Books for March and April

by Michael on Sunday, May 11th, 2008

Almost all of these books were read in March, as April found me mainly reading things that didn’t have covers.
Uglies by Scott Westerfield [4.5/5]

by Michael on Monday, May 5th, 2008

Back on April 20th, Jenn and I were in the city for NY Comic Con, and we were therefore lucky enough to have the chance to catch Vienna Teng’s set at the Green Apple Festival in Central Park. She was on at noon, as the first act of the day, and there was definitely [...]

April Books

by Jennifer on Monday, May 5th, 2008

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
That’s published already, that is.
Guess I just had too many clients with manuscripts due in April.
Check back next month to see if that status has changed….
