My review of Magic Mike...

Channing Tatum plays Mike, a man who's searching for the "American Dream" while wearing a thong decides to mentor a young upstart (Alex Pettyfer).
The choreography was okay, I think they saved the best moves for Channing (and he IS a talented dancer). The story was predictable. 2 1/2 stars out of ten.

My review of The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner...

23-year-old Ruth Saunders decides to move to California with her 70-year-old grandma hoping to make it big as a T.V. writer. Once her sitcom "The Next Best Thing" gets green lit, she has to deal with all of the Hollywood baggage that goes with it.
I have loved Jennifer's books since I read Good In Bed. I like her sense of humor and her smart, funny, sarcastic, REALISTIC characters. This book did not let me down. I loved Ruth for all of her flaws and hoped for her to have the happy ending that she so richly deserves. You can tell that she wrote this book "loosely" based on her experiences writing on the T.V. show "State of Georgia".

My review of The Girl in the Clockwork Collar (Book 2 in the Steampunk Chronicles)...

New York - 1897,
Finley Jayne and her "straynge band of mysfits" rush to save cowboy Jasper and Mei (the girl with the clockwork collar) from the evil clutches of a "former friend".
Having read the prequel: The Strange Case of Finley Jayne and The Girl in the Steel Corset (Book 1 in the series) I was left wanting to know what happens to Finley Jayne and her "straynge band of mysfits". The genre is interesting, Victorian age meets steam punk. All in all, a great edge-of-the-seat thriller with a dash of romance amidst steam punk animatronics. I gave it 7 stars out of 10.

My review of Men In Black 3...

Agent J travels in time to MIB's early years in the 1960s, to stop an alien from assassinating his friend Agent K and changing history.
I went to see MIB3 because I enjoyed the first movie. I laughed at most of the jokes, all in all I gave MIB(1) 8 stars out of 10. I heard that MIB3 beat box office numbers on opening weekend. People talked about how good it was BUT not me! I really thought that Josh Brolin was a good Agent K. He really nailed Tommy Lee Jones mannerisms. I laughed maybe once. To sum it up, I would give this movie 3 stars out of 10. Wait to rent it from Redbox or something.
