Rounded up from 2 1/2 It took me longer then it should to read Never Let Me Go, the writing was so flowery I could only read so much in one sitting without getting drowsy. Kathy, Ruth and Tommy grew up in England at a boarding school, Hailsham, with no parents, lots of rules and little interaction with the outside world; they are also expected to produce artwork for a mysterious Gallery. After they graduate, they go to the Cottages where they are mixed with […]
What *Don’t* I Know You From?
So badkittyuno called me out for being a lazy reviewer by getting her Judy Greer review up before me. Most Pajiba readers know Judy Greer, probably from her role as Kitty Sanchez on Arrested Development (which I’ve seen, in full, twice in the last twelve months alone) and her voice over work on Archer (which both my husband and I love). However, Ms Greer loitered around in chick flicks during my formative years so I also remember her as “the friend” in 27 Dresses, 13 […]

Above Average
“Remember that you can’t be one person in one place and a totally different person in another place. Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter where you are.” I wonder what he would’ve said if he’d met Jacinta Trimalchio. When I was in high school The Great Gatsby was one of my favorite “required reading” books, and Leonardo DiCaprio is on my Pajiba10 list, so needless to say I’ve seen Baz Lurman’s theatrical take on the novel a few times as well. Amazon […]
Notes from the Underwire
Quinn Cummings was nominated for an Oscar for her role in The Goodbye Girl and then floated around Hollywood in a few other roles before she and Hollywood took a permanent break from one another. “I cannot say that being a child actor was detrimental to me, but I could have done without being a former child actor. To be a child is a temporary condition. To be a former child actor is a permanent state.” She touches base on when she was acting and […]
