Duma Key

OK childruns I'm done another book. This time I read the classic writer Stephen King. This book, Duma Key was pretty good. I'll admit, it kind of uses that Stephen King style of writing three quarters of the book before the exciting stuff starts happening.

The basic story is like this. The main character, Edgar Freemantel has a horrible construction accident that causes him to lose his arm. After months in physical rehab, a divorce and giving up his business Edgar decides to retire to Duma Key alone. He rents a big pink house on a cliff and begins to draw, which progresses to charcoals, which progresses to painting. He finds he's extremely talented but his paintings have a habit of foreseeing the future. Now all this time, he realizes that he has phantom itches and aches in his missing arm. This missing arm is the key to his psychic connection to the paintings. Then, all hell breaks lose as he finds he's not the only person through history to find this talent. Then he has to undo the evil that he has set free with these psychic paintings. Get the picture? Good.

I like Stephen King, so I generally liked this book. But I think it read more like a screenplay. It would make a great summer movie. Should you read it? Sure why not? But read it after you read what you really want to read first.

Got It?

TERMINATOR: Salvation

Last Saturday I took Mr. Adam to go see TERMINATOR: Salvation. Did you like it ryan charisma? Well, I did. I thought it was exactly what I expected it to be. The action was fast paced. The special effects were awesome. I don’t want to give away much story line, but Christian Bale – eh. He wasn’t particularly wonderful in this movie and after his famous diva-bitch outburst. I see very little reason to use him again. I give bitch-mouth a mediocre. Wayland Flowers & Madam could have played the John Connors role. Now as for the silent, beefy, hunky gorgeousness that is Sam Worthington. He, aside from being breathtakingly beautiful, was the movie. He had the whole inner turmoil going on. And as an audience member, I knew something was odd about his character. I can’t tell you much more, because that would give away “the beginning of the end.” Got it? Good, now go see this. It’s quality Sci-Fi/Action that can’t be beat.

...and this one goes out to all the bigots:
