Found this one on Netflix. Strange movie with Scarlett Johanson playing a woman who likes men to a place where their bodies are consumed by a strange black goo. She starts to realize there's something different about herself and goes on a trip to figure it out. Quite a bit of nudity(full frontal- metal and female) so I wouldn't say it's something for the kids. The acting was pretty decent and everything else was adequate. The story unfolds a little slowly but if you're into sci-fi it'll keep your attention. Worth a watch.

The burning of the wrong person leads to a village being cursed. Years later a car crash leaves three groups of people stranded in a dried up river bed that should be easy to get out of, but isn't. Some take haven in a strange church whilst others find a strange house. Terrorised by a strange monk and a giant toad god they need to find a way out, but who can they trust.

This is the first book by Iain Rob Wright that I have read and I have to say I enjoyed it. There are a number of characters who could be the villain or who could be helping the main cast and the reader is misled through out a lot of the book. The landscape the cast are trapped in is just strange enough to add a bit of unease but not so strange that it takes away form the characters interaction.
It was also nice to find a stand alone novel as there are a lot of series' around.

"I didn't just read this book, I lived with it, so fired was my imagination with the story of this magically strange creature, Owen Meany."
