The James Logan Courier

Confessions of a Shopaholic hit theaters last month and I decided to go see it after opening day. Shopaholic is based on the novel by Sophie Kinsella.

The movie starts off with Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fischer), as a young girl; the story gradually continues picking up on details of her family, and why she is a so-called "shopaholic". Living in New York City, Rebecca is a college graduate working as a journalist. She tries to build her way up to get into the top fashion magazine, and goes through the whole ordeal most chick flicks have.

"Castle" is a newish crime drama airing on Monday's on ABC that's worth watching.

In the show, Richard Castle is a widely famous novelist known for his mysteries. Suffering from writer's block, Castle is growing bored with his life until he hears that a murderer is staging crime scenes straight off the pages of his murder mysteries. When Castle is questioned by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett, he decides to help out on the case because, after all, who has a better understanding of the crime scenes than the author who wrote them?
