"So I have to think of one more? Okay, I’ll say that on the plane coming here I saw The Reader and I thought that was an amazing film, a very affecting film dealing with an almost overfamiliar subject but in an almost novel and emotional way. That’s my current favorite movie."

Mike Leigh recommended The Third Policeman: The Third Policeman in Books (curated)

"My favorite of Flann O’Brien’s novels, although I love At-Swim-Two-Birds. Profound, haunting, mystical and utterly hilarious. The bizarre narrative is accompanied by an eccentric parallel saga about something obscure called The De Selby Codex, a red herring that gradually grows in quantity until it all but obscures the main story."

To honor the memory William Goldman, who passed away yesterday, I just updated my #bookreview of his most wonderful novel “The Princess Bride,” which is one of my all-time favorite books, and one which deserves far more than just 5/5 stars! https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/05/16/prepare-to-die-laughing/

Movie Rating Watch

This film is a lot of fun to watch. Will Smith is hilarious, and the scenes where he drags the alien in the desert, are my favorite out of the film.
The cast is great, and Bill Pullman's Independence Day speech is probably one of the best speeches ever delivered in a film.
