 Frommer's Argentina & Chile $21.99 Ugh! Where to begin? I went on a three week tour of Santiago & Buenos Aires with a friend of mine last month. I brought this book and he brought Lonely Planet's and let's just say my book ended up slowing us down as we lugged it around in out daybags. To start, this book only has ONE map each for Santiago and BA. And that map isn't even in great detail. Where as LP's book had a much larger general map of Santiago followed by many more zoomed in maps of each burrow. But you might be thinking to yourself, "So what, I'm a good navigator, I don't need a stinking map!" Well then good day to you, fine sir! But do you need suggestions and reviews on local sightseeing stops? Oh! So sorry! Because this book doesn't have any of those! I should clarify, they actually do have some suggestions and recommendations, but they tend to be along the lines of "Go here, it's fun" and that's it. No real info on what you'll do once you get there, no honest review as to whether it's good or not. Just a location, phone number, and a sentence or two saying "This is a local 'whatever' and it's a popular tourist spot." Gee, THANKS FROMMER'S! I felt like I was reading a Yellow Pages, not a travel guide. Even the restaurant suggestions were sub-par compared to their LP counterparts. I'd never used either travel guides before this trip, but I learned my lesson during this last trip and will never be buying one of Frommer's Travel books in the future. If you enjoy stress-free vacations and not wasting money, then I suggest you live by the same motto.  Killer Pad $2.99 I love this movie, and with the right expectations and temperament, you might too. Its a comedic horror, with acting purposely over the top, but, IMHO, not so much that its annoying. It strikes, to me, the right balance on all fronts without being annoying, but still being highly entertaining. FYI - I tend to absolutely hate slapstick humor, and I think this achieves the goals of a good comedy, and should appeal to men in their 20-30s. There's a good bit of oddly adult-ish/domestic humor to enjoy. http://mynetflixlife.blogspot.com/ Killer Pad $9.99 I love this movie, and with the right expectations and temperament, you might too.
