Ultimately, while the film is darkly comedic, it doesn’t set out to particularly hate on religion so much as to lightly imply that the more people are repressed, the more intense their human desires become.
Critic- Mae Abdulbaki
Original Score: 3 out of 5

Cat's Cradle
Cat's Cradle
Kurt Vonnegut, Benjamin Kunkel | 2011 | Fiction & Poetry
9.3 (7 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"“Cat’s Cradle” is a perfectly satirical novel poking fun at the arbitrary systems, institutions, and rules that hold society hostage, in a way that only Vonnegut could. It is easy to get lost in the fantastical island of San Lorenzo and its religion of Bokononism. A story with an even more fantastical back story."

We're all operating at 100 mph on a regular basis and the world can certainly get noisy, so noisy in fact that at times we barely realise we're actually living.

Hence it's no surprise that religion and spirituality publishers maintain a strong presence in the self-help category. Here are some works due out in the coming year.

This movie has gained cult status and even a religion, I only recently caught up with this bizarre Coen offering due to receiving free tickets to a special showing, I found it to be an interesting offering and Geoff Bridges performance is quirky but memorable and can see why his followers live by the ways of the dude, solid!

A complete game changer upon it's 1999 release, the beauty about this thick slice of action is that it can be watched on a superficial level as a brilliant Sci Fi movie, however their are much deeper themes at play here about religion and Existentialism to name a few, an entertaining a deeply absorbing thrill ride!

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. "A Time to Die" by Nadine Brandes started out as an interesting Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel. People know exactly when they are going to die. That is an interesting concept. We all know we're going to die but would we change how or what we do if we knew exactly when? The main character, Parvin, is a girl that hasn't done much with her life and her time is almost up. Great concept so far. It then changed and started discussing religion and God. I don't mind, and often enjoy, religious studies books but, because I was surprised to find religion such a strong theme throughout, I did not like it in this novel. The description on both Amazon and Goodreads does not mention God or religion. It appeared to be a Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel with an interesting premise. If it had continued in that vein, I would have most likely thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I had to rate it 2 out of 5. "A Time to Die" is the 1st novel in the "Out of Time" series. I will probably not continue reading the series.

I have to say I am completely surprised by how good this book was. It was interesting but easy to follow & easy to read. I am not much on religion & I was engaged throughout the entire book. O'Reilly is a great writer & quite obviously did a great deal of research in putting this together. I am looking forward to reading his other novels.

Also, can we agree to no religion or politics? That is why I got rid of my Facebook.

Absolutely. This is rather for personal issues or advice, not for promoting or arguing about religious beliefs or politics.

Movie Favorite Watch

"I don’t think this movie will ever be considered tame. Subversive in every way, this is my favorite of the Monty Python movies because it houses a refined and philosophical look at organized religion, delivered in the most absurd and profane manner. Incredible jokes, great performances, and it’s almost a musical except for all the blood—kind of like the Bible."
