L for lawless

Needed some trashy books to alleviate my boredom as well as borrowing 3 DVDs. L for Lawless was a mixture of the treasure hunt and road novel, but didn't really work with Kinsey disguising herself as a hotel maid. Hopefully the next book would be better.

Paprika was quite good, with wonderfully imagined dream sequences and detailed and vibrant colours. 300 was ridiculous, good if you're in a mood for campy movies. What looks and reads good on a comic book page may not translate well into a movie. Little children is a overtly- plotted movie, with characters being fitted into a mould rather than naturally developing.
