Coming back to Blogger...

After trying to contact Google about my domain name for the past 10 months I have come to the conclusion that I'm unable to move "SilkkisReviews.com" to the new website that I started last year.  So, we are coming back.  By we I mean me, I'm going to start posting my reviews and giveaways here on Blogger again.  People keep coming here, even after almost one whole year has past so I'm going to be posting them here again.  I will move all the reviews over from the Our Krazy Kountry Family and then delete that section.  Keeping business and pleasure separate, again!! Stay tuned, it will take awhile but they will all be here soon.  Have a wonderful day everyone.

The Other Woman {03/08/14}

  
The Other Woman is coming to DVD and Blu-ray, July 29th!

It’s time to get even! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment takes girl power to a whole new level with THE OTHER WOMAN, debuting on Blu-ray & DVD July 29. With Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann as the leading ladies and newcomers Kate Upton and Nicki Minaj bringing the jokes left and right, ladies all over better be ready for the perfect movie to end their summer in style! Cameron Diaz leads a knockout cast in this irreverent comedy about love, lust and the laws of karma. New York attorney Carly Whitten (Diaz) is nobody’s fool. So when she accidentally discovers that her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is married, she’s less than thrilled. Not only that, she and Mark’s wife Kate (Leslie Mann), learn about yet another mistress (Kate Upton)! Great boyfriends are hard to find, even in the movies. To prepare you for the release of The Other Woman, we have made a list of the top ten boyfriends that Hollywood films have to offer.


The Best Hollywood Boyfriends:
1. Noah Calhoun- The Notebook
 “So it's not gonna be easy. It's going to be really hard; we're gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me... everyday.”

2. Jack Dawson- The Titanic

“Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful.”

3. Harry Burns- When Harry Met Sally

“I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

4. Leo Collins- The Vow

“I vow to fiercely love you in all your forms, now and forever. I promise to never forget that this is a once in a lifetime love. And to always know in the deepest part of my soul that no matter what challenges might carry us apart, we will always find our way back to each other.”

5. Lloyd Dobler- Say Anything

“What I really want to do with my life -- what I want to do for a living -- is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.”

6. Sam Wheat- Ghost
 “I love you, Molly. I've always loved you.”

7. Westley- The Princess Bride
 
“Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.”

8. Patrick Verona- 10 Things I Hate About You

“It's not everyday you find a girl who'll flash someone to get you out of detention.”

9. Augustus Waters- The Fault In Our Stars

“I'm in love with you and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have, and I am in love with you."

10. Phil- The Other Woman

My Review:
  I love this book.  I cannot wait for the second one to come out, and I hope there are many after it.  I didn't know exactly what kind of book to prepare myself for.  At first I didn't really think that I would be so mentally involved in this book.  It truly is a wonderful read.

  From the first chapter I was hooked.  I read it in the van on the way to my husbands grandmother's.  Which was a great time to read it.  There is only one thing about having children that I would want to be slightly different and that is that they never let you have time to yourself, not even to read.  I personally never liked reading.  I did it occasionally as a child but it was never something I could get into.  My mother on the other hand always had a book in hand.  I wish I had a dollar for every time I found her asleep on the couch with her book fallen ever so suddenly onto the floor.  She is a reader, the older I get the more I understand why.  I'm old now, my life is what it is and books allow me to escape to a land far away, a land where I can imagine the beauty of a creature like a gryphon, oh to see this beautiful creature outside of my mind would be so wonderful.

  The detail that has gone into describing the characters in this book is wonderful.  I cannot get over how wonderful these "beasts" of the sky would be in real life, surely there would be nothing to be feared of more, except that pesky elf-mage, that guy is no one to be messing with either.  Unfortunately, with the fine descriptive nature of the book I was able to predict just who the elf-mage was so there was no mystery there for me, but my goodness this book was fantastic without that little piece of wonder.  There was much to be excited about as I flipped the pages of the story, it was very exciting from the start right to the finish.  I was not disappointed one bit with any part of the story.  It was wonderfully written in a way that allowed your imagination the joy of creating the amazing images in your mind.

I was very impressed how there is the connection of the gryphons and their own "God" Ellulianaen.  I think it's awesome that the author incorporated a belief in a higher being into this story, at a time when the love and the belief in God seems to be diminishing it is wonderful to read a special version of that belief.  Proving once more that everyone can believe in a higher being, we don't all believe in the same thing and that's alright if you ask me.  As long as we all believe in something and live for the purpose of satisfying our own higher being.... provided that higher being is of a good and noble heart that is.  Not like some weird, obsessed Elf-Mage and what he believes to be right.

I think this is a wonderful fantasy story that would be a great addition to anyone's library.  A great story to allow your mind to wander and imagine, to take you out of the present time and into a realm where mighty creatures that resemble lions and eagle fly around dancing with their grace and their beauty in the sky, and the clouds, in the dark of night where they are only able to be seen by the glistening of the moon.  Yep, this book will take you on an adventure that you're sure to enjoy.
