Hotel Rwanda

I was mesnerized watching a social conscience biography called Hotel Rwanda (2004). When the region of Africa now known as Rwanda was ruled by the Belgians, they favored some of the local people and gave them positions of authority for possessing such physical characteristics as thin noses and tall ...

What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Sorry, but I must agree to disagree, here. Because the bulk of The White Dragon story takes place after the events of Dragondrums (even though its beginning chapter is before the Dragondrums events), I maintain that Dragondrums should be read first.

The Mordant's Need Trivia Game (Spoilers!!!)

Master Barsonage was surprised by because Geraden was shocked that translating a flat mirror into a curved mirror didn't work to explain how people were being translated into Mordant without going mad. With most Imagers, the very idea of translating one mirror into another would be a shock, but Gera...

Valkyrie

I was somewhat interested to view a flick that concerns a discontented Nazi colonel (Tom Cruise), who is feeling that Adolf Hitler is bringing Germany to ruin. With the help of other Nazi officers tired of Hitler (played by Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Terrence Stamp, and others), he plans to get...

What fantasy/science fiction book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Thank you for the update, peter! I think you will enjoy reading McCaffrey (at least, I know that I certainly have!). Because you have access to both the Harper Hall trilogy and the first three published books about the dragonriders, I recommend reading them in this order: Dragonflight Dragonquest Dr...

The Wrestler

Not too long ago, I watched a movie from the year 2008 called The Wrestler. It stars Mickey Rourke as aging wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, who is told by his doctor after he suffers a severe heart attack (and has to undergo the resulting bypass surgery) that he must retire from the rin...

Ironic that this next movie I'm reviewing is written by the same guy, Stuart Beattie, that wrote the Derailed movie that I disliked--because I like this movie Collateral that I am about to review so much better. I have read that Collateral director/producer Michael Mann did a lot of impromptu rewrit...

Thank you, Sarge. Whatever complaints I had about the humor in it are merely nitpicking. I think in general this movie is both profound and positive.

Django Unchained

I realize that I have in the past complained to many people about movies being quite violent, but at the risk of sounding hypocritical I would like to say some words of praise about Quentin Tarantino's western Django Unchained. The violence is pretty over-the-top with villains that are shot gushing ...

Eternal Sunshine of a spotless mind

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind: has a strong romantic theme to it, but is also somewhat of a psychological thriller mixed in with a little slapstick comedy. Introverted Joel (Jim Carrey) falls in love with extroverted and partly crazy Clementine (Kate Winslet). When they go through a painful ...

This movie review is about The Incredible Hulk (the 2008 version). I'm not big on superhero movies, but I at least have three that I like in my collection (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Iron Man, and The Dark Knight). The plot of this Hulk movie is kind of thin at first. It involves the scientist ...

I watched the movie called 300, about King Leonidas of Sparta resisting the invasion of Persian hordes lead by King Xerxes, who wants to be worshipped as a God (and is dressed in an unbelievably gaudy and mist likely hisyorically inaccurate manner). Leonidas and the Spartans resist for a while, defe...
