Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Slaughterhouse 5: The Children's Crusade - A Duty-dance with Death in Books

Bizarre but brings up important themes

Kurt Vonnegut's renowned novel focuses on the destruction of war, the long term mental health issues at the same time how death is trivialized throughout.

Or so it goes.

It borders on ludicrous at the same time reveals the fragmentation of the mind after such trauma. It is unclear how much of the narrator's account is fact or fantasy.

While I'm usually drawn to these themes, the general oddness may have been a step too far without background explanation.

"Get your ass to Mars."

So, I didn't actually see this film until the remake was in the process of being made. The film is based upon 'We Can Remember it for You Wholesale' by Phillip K. Dick (which is excellent). Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't an award winning actor, but he was completely entertaining (as he is in most films). The weird, early 1990s SFX where a little bizarre, e.g., the face generator. Overall, it's entertaining and well paced, and I may just watch it again this afternoon.

Well, the remake was a poor interpretation of Total Recall, BUT, I liked it as a sci-fi action movie.

I want to visit the house

This was Radcliffe's first movie after the Harry Potter movies and he certainly takes a different turn with this character and this movie. Set at the turn of the century, The Woman in Black follows the tale of a solicitor (Radcliffe) going to a home to set the financial and legal matters of a deceased woman to rights. He encounters all manner of mystery and intrigue including a bizarre town and a host of mystery and otherworldly apparitions.

I picked up this book a few years ago, solely because of the beautiful and creepy Penguin Deluxe Classic edition cover. I was not disappointed, the book was also creepy beautiful.
The town described in this book reminded me of the small village my grandmother lives in, to include the bizarre mob-mentality. The atmosphere invoked is creepy and intriguing. You're left wondering until the very end what exactly happened, and the things left unsaid are telling. Overall, a terrifyingly excellent book that I plan on rereading.
