Book Review: A Stolen Life
Over the past three days I’ve been completely consumed by Jaycee Dugard’s memoir, “A Stolen Life.” Jaycee was abducted by two strangers on her way to school in 1991 at age 11.

Mini Reviews: Fantastic Mr. Fox
Bottom Line: Generally, I don’t agree with Truffaut’s auteur theory, but 30 minutes into this movie, I was convinced that Wes Anderson truly is one of the few modern auteurs. If you appreciate animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox will blow your mind. 4.5/5 stars.

Mini Reviews: Nine
Bottom Line: Nine does not have a plot and does not do justice to anything Fellini-related. However, if you’re in the mood to indulge in a 2 ½ hour visual and auditory experience, Nine has got it. 1/5 stars for story/plot and 4.5/5 stars for camera, songs and performances.
