This page is dedicated to celebrating the wonders of the Coos County Library system. Specifically, short reviews for best bets from the 6000 movies offered to anyone smart enough to have a library card. I might toss in a couple comments about books I found useful too.

Mockumentary Review: Chalk
This film might appeal to someone. I knew they were kidding around about awful beginner teachers, but I just didn't relate. Maybe if the characters felt real and then funny stuff happened in the course of the reality. I just kept thinking, so what.
I think we all could come up with stories of bad or stupid teachers. They don't have to be at the beginning of their career to corrupt young minds. Suprise, I was a strange kid. (no really) I got together with my friend Amy in World Lit class and sang Tom Lehrer's Oedipus Rex in front of the whole class. I made holiday cards for my teachers at the same time we were reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. So I gave that teacher two cards, One with a green faced angel. (one real one too, I just thought the green one was funny)
My high school antics are way funnier than this lame mocumentary. Wanna see some torturous teaching? Look in Bandon.
