The Decent - Holy crap!

Not many horror movies scare me anymore. Generally I get bored about halfway thru them. But this one, 'The Decent' suprised me. It took a while to get going, though the background story it gave was deep, but not to the point of 'oy, get on with the story already'. The story is 6 women(I think it was 6 at least) go spelunking(isnt that a fun word to say?) in the Appalachian Mountains. Things start to look go wrong when they realize that they are not in the cave that they thought they were, as one of the ladies thought it would be good to take a harder cave. So therefor, no one knows where they are. And then theres a cave in.
I wont say much more, other than that this movie scared the hell out of me. Not a little bit, were you twitch a little bit. I jumped like someone hit me with a cattle prod.(I can neither comfirm nor deny that I may have possibly even peed a little) And it didnt happen just once, several times I jumped.
If you like scary movies, go for it. If you dont or are unsure, stay the hell away.

My first post & The Dresden files

Ive been wanting to get this out for some time, and what better way than here.
First off, let me say this - these are good books. I enjoyed the stories very, very much. Stories like these have been told about a million different ways, but I think this is a new and unique way.
Having said that...the tag line for this series should be 'for geeks, by geeks'. Doesn't make any sense? Let me explain. Do you remember that guy in high school that wore the black duster, ratty tennis shoes, and was kinda creepy? That's the main character in this book. Sometimes I think this is the wet dream of the 35 year old still living in his parents basement playing Dungeons and Dragons. Hell, the main character Harry Dresden, lives in a basement. And he is a professional wizard for hire in modern day Chicago. And of course the uber geeky guy gets the hot chick. The one recurring theme in all these books that makes me either laugh or cry, depending, is when Harry gets all chivalrous with the ladies. Personally, if a lady had a gun pointed at my head, then a medusa-esqe demon came in and put the boots to her, I probably wouldn't mind. But Harry - he says 'dang, that shouldn't happen to a girl'. Maybe its just me, but I think there isan overload in cheese factor there.
Well, I'm glad I got that out of my system. Don't get me wrong - like I said before, I enjoyed the books very much, they are great stories. Just a little silly sometimes. OK, alot silly.
