    What Are You Reading?

    bestial by ray garton almost done...quite nice...wasn't so sure at first, was looking forward to a sequel to 'ravenous'...but this one started so off base from where that one ended...slowly, garton pulled it all together for one nifty little thriller...

    Latest Movie That You Watched!

    dawn of the planet of the apes.... not gonna jump on the 'it's the best apes movie ever' bandwagon...not even gonna go so far and say it's better than 'rise...' but it is at least that (first ?) very fine films equal...if 'rise...' was a bit of a warped remake of 'conquest...' than this is a...

    Who's seen the movie Cube?

    saw it...backinnaday... liked it quite well enough, never did seek out any sequel/prequel,tho i knew they existed: it was a case where the first just seemed such a perfectly well told that i just couldn't concieve of a second as being anything other than just a bit of a retread... and...

    In-depth Exploration into the Making of The Shining

    kubrick as often as not draws the characters in his films as exactly that: broad, all encompassing characters that, instantaneously, define the whole of both the person and what kubrick wants them to mean within his version of the tale...in a sense, a stereotype meant to convey a thought...

    Your Dream Cast For The Dark Tower Movies

    harrison ford was, by and large, a relative unknown when he was cast as han solo... lucky george lucas: for if he'd been as famous then as most of the nice actors y'all have mentioned are now... the cost of that one contract alone would easily eat into the budget for the much needed...

    It Hurts My Heart...

    to all those who've not read this...you are doing yourself a grave injustice: it is one of the best... to anyone who would be unsure of it being as it is co-authored...put away those fears... as a fan of both writers it is easy to say that this wonderful journey shows a fantastical mix of...
