Now Eat This! by Rocco DiSpirito: Several weeks ago, my neighbor has borrowed this cookbook that features low-fat, low-carb versions of 150 comfort foods, ranging from chocolate-chip cookies to fried chickenand she can't stop raving about it.
Shank: This British movie ( which is on DVD ) stars Wayne Virgo as Cal, a teenage gangbanger so desperate to hide his desire to be with other guys that he binges on drugs and anonymous sex. However, he meets someone he truly cares forwhich leads to a showdown with the rest of his gang. Be warned: This one has a couple brutal scenes.
