March Reading and Writing

I definitely didn't read or watch as many things in March.  I don't think April will be much better.


Watched:
Che: Um, it is long.  I guess that aspect of the movie didn't bother me that much since I could  break my watching into sections.  What did bother me was my inability to remember people or battle scenes.  I think they were scenes filmed separately and not Soderbaugh just splicing the same scene throughout the movie.  Benicio del Toro was excellent.


Fantastic Mr. Fox: When my sisters visited, one of them raved about this movie.  On my recent flight to Chicago, I decided to watch this movie over Whip It.  I loved it.  I love foxes.


Read:
Beautiful Children by Charles Bock: I heard such excellent things about this book, but I couldn't get into it.  Part of my problem was that I didn't like a single character.  The novel takes place in Las Vegas and surrounds the disappearance of a boy.  The boy deserved to be lost.  Just sayin'.  


What Obama Means by Jabari Asim: I really liked this breezy book about the social, cultural, and historical significance of Obama's election victory.   I can't remember what I liked about it but there was some good stuff.
