Cloud Atlas

Book Favorite

"“Cloud Atlas,” combines dystopian sci-fi, spy novel, seafaring tales and more in a good puzzle structure. I especially love the outrageous young wannabe composer and the creepy futuristic use of “soap.”"

This tie in to the TV series BURN NOTICE finds former spy Michael Weston trying to track down a husband who stole his wife's fortune while figuring out a way to keep a former Russian spy from killing him. The book captures the characters and tone of the show perfectly, but the plot was a bit weak.

Rowan Atkinson (0 more)
Not the best action packed movie, but if you're here because of Rowan Atkinson, you will definitely not be dissapointed.

Imagine James Bond. Now imagine a guy that thinks he is James Bond, but actually, he is a below-average anything, let alone a spy. And when all the other spies somehow end up not available (perhaps due to his inability to do his job properly), now he's the only spy they have left. Good luck to us all with such a guy protecting us.

This is like watching an average person be a spy, with the humour that follows Mr. Bean. Definitely a movie that will have you in stitches (from laughing) and will leave a positive mood after it's finished.
