John Tucker Must Die


John Tucker Must Die stars Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow, Ashanti, Sophia Bush, and Arielle Kebbel. Although this movie can easily be classified and dismissed as a "teen comedy movie," one shouldn't write it off solely for this reason because the movie lives up to being as funny as its previews suggest.

John Tucker is the star of the basketball team, and, as a result, he can date any girl in the school. Frequently he does so and often dates more than one girl at the same time. The girls he dates have no idea that he's dating them simultaneously. This continues until three of the girls meet up and put the pieces together. A fourth girl joins their group (who has not previously dated John Tucker) and gives them the idea to take out their rage on John Tucker instead of each other. John Tucker has no idea he has these four girls setting him to take a big fall. Hilarity and hi-jinks ensue throughout the movie as the girls try and fail a number of times to take John Tucker down a peg before finally hitting on an elaborate plan to humiliate and humble John Tucker before the entire high school once and for all. This movie offers several original, laugh out loud moments.

I highly recommend you check this movie out sometime when you're in the library. It will soon be available on shelf in the DVD section of Matthews Public Library.

In The Woods by Tana French

"What I warn you to remember is that I am a detective. Our relationship with the truth is fundamental, but cracked, refracting confusingly like fragmented glass. It is the core of our careers, the endgame of every move we make, and we pursue it with strategies painstakingly constructed of lies ... and every variation on deception. The truth is the most desirable woman in the world and we are the most jealous lovers, reflexively denying anyone else the slightest glimpse of her. We betray her routinely ... This is my job ... What I am telling you, before you begin my story, is this--two things: I crave truth. And I lie." opening lines of In The Woods chapter 1, pages 3-4 In The Woods by Tana French, an Irish writer, is an extremely well-written and well-crafted mystery novel. The downside is that this is French's debut novel, and her website (located at http://www.tanafrench.com/ ) does not off

Broken by Karin Slaughter

Before I begin the formal review there are a few things I need to get off my chest in the wake of finishing this book; I'll do so without giving away too many (or any) spoilers. The OUTRAGE!: the identity of Detective Lena Adams' new beau; the low depths to which Grant County's interim chief has sunk and brought the police force down with him; agent Will Trent's wife, Angie's, sixth sense/nasty habit of reappearing in his life just when he's slipping away from her. Thank God for small miracles though because while Angie was certainly referred to during the book, the broad didn't make an appearance. One sign that I've become way too invested in these characters is that I'd like to employ John Connolly's odd pair of assassins, Louis and Angel, to contract out a hit on Angie; do you think Karin Slaughter and John Connolly could work out a special cross over? Hallelujah: Dr. Sara Linton and agent Will Trent are both back. There is no hallelujah fo

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline is the first book by this author that I've read.  I'm not sure how I first came across it, but it's been on my books-to-read list for a while.  Recently my library acquired a copy, and since I was between books, I thought, hmm, let me try this one and see if it sticks.  Sometimes when I'm between books I have a problem starting and actually sticking with a book to the end. The historical part of the story of Orphan Train is actually inspired by true events.  There really was a train in the 1920's that took orphaned children from the Children's Aid Society in New York City out to the Midwest in a quest to find families to place them in.  Some of these children are still alive today.  However, I don't think that the characters of Molly and Vivian are based on any real life people. Molly Ayer has spent the last nine years bouncing among over a dozen different foster homes.  She's developed a tough shell and a ha
