A Day Dark As Night - Another thing that started out really shaky, but as the story developed the writing and the plot actually improved. Basically this book is helping to launch White Wolf Publishing's new Exalted line, which I think it would do a better job of (and be a much better novel) if the focuses on when characters are developed and general setting-background were given were switched around. Also, the writing for this particular novel seemed kind of below par for White Wolf, but the Exalted setting is rich in and of itself and the unique ideas and focus on martial arts will hopefully make for better novels in the future. All in all, an okay beer-and-pretzel fantasy read. (and bonus points for cool character names like "Harmonious Jade" and over the top lines like "He dodged the bolt with ophidian grace and celerity...then hurled himself through the air trailing a black, necrotic wake of energy")

Returner - In short, ET directed by John Woo with time travel. An odd mix of horrible and awesome cinematography, cool moves and Engrish. And one of the main characters is played by Taneshi Kaneshiro, which is cool because he's cute and did voice acting for Onimusha 3

Spiderman 2 - I thought it was wonderful. In lieu of going on about it, I'm crushing a little on the skinny blonde chick on the basis that she was adorable and had that sweet crush on Spiderman.

If this is real, kinda freaky and cool
