Inspired by J. Kaye's Book Blog, who posts her new blogger finds every Friday!
This week, I discovered a delightful new blogger - Eleni at La Femme Readers
* MOVIE NEWS *
THE OBJECTIVE
Heard good things about this low-budget movie, and I wasn't disappointed! Very well done, very suspenseful, and believable. Well, almost! It does have a sci-fi twist to it! There's about ten seconds of "hokeyness" in the last minute of the film (the low budget shows there and it didn't add to the film) but it was really good.
Give it a B.
CHASSEURS DE DRAGONS (DRAGON HUNTERS)
We'd never heard of this movie, but it was highly recommended on NetFlix, so took a chance - and wow! A computer-animated fantasy from France/Germany, this one is so stunningly gorgeous. The story is simple - a group of underdogs set off to kill the giant dragon at the ends of the world - but everything about this story is so refreshingly original and imaginative. The artwork is just incredible and it's a shame this movie never received a wide release. It is a work of art! Check out the movie trailer at IMDB
Solid A
* PHOTO OF THE DAY *
As requested by CC-Chronicles - more bungee bouncing - and some rock climbing!

Congratulations on reaching the 100 followers mark! That's fabulous news and I'm really happy for you! You've worked hard and deserve this achievement.
Jai
Thanks for more great links and pictures. You are a stunt woman at heart.
Congrats, Spunky!
I follow you since...um...this week? Is that true?
I really can't remember...sorry.
And I am still pondering whether I should start an English blog or not.
Thanks Jai and CC!
And yes, Ashmodai, you are a follower!
Maybe a little English in your current blog would work? At any rate, pictures transcend all languages!
I have got to get out more! I'd never heard of either of those movies; I've never bungie jumped or rock climbed. I'm a slug sitting in my office. But I am a long-time follower, so I get my excitement by dropping by your place.

Helen, get out and experience the world!
And Karen, I'm only athletic because my brain hasn't realized my body is in its mid-forties yet.
Thanks everyone!
Can I just say "Ditto" to Helen Ginger's comment!?!
This is a happenin' post! Congrats on reaching 100! That's huge! Love the Spunky photos - go you! And love the reading challenge. Thinking about it...
Darn, wish I could be that 100th follower. I love winning stuff. I once won a T-shirt from Morgan's Web site.
Terry, I usually don't do reading challenges, but this provides me with enbough time to 'get 'er done.'
Sorry you're not #100 Stephen - but I appreciate that you follow me!
Congrats on hitting 100! I'm jealous that I wasn't the 100th, but I'd hate to think of the posts I'd have missed if I'd waited. Here's looking forward to the next 100. :]
And I'm a current follower. :]
Thank you, Tara!
Congratulations! How many followers do you have now?
Vivian
Still 100, but that was the hurdle I wanted to cross - thanks!
Hey now - two shout out's for The Old Silly in the same post! Muchas gracias mi amiga! (wink). Lotsa great stuff here as usual, and WONDERFUL photos!
Straight from a reMINDer - much-needed by the muddle-aged, and I'm following now, too.
You are welcome, Marvin!
And DGreer, I resemble that muddle-aged!
Great stuff here- thanks so much for posting! Luv the pics. They look like you were having a lot of fun. cheers~
Sorry, Diane, I thought I was already a "follower," but I guess I forgot to press the right button. LOL. Well, now I am!
Heidi
