Why do we always fall for the wrong girl? Probably because we do not know any better. That is what most of this book is about. Skye is a typical teenage character who is surrounded by typical teenage characters. The plot is typical but still good. This wasn't a blow me out of the water type book but it was definately readable.

Great comedy written by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost; all of the references were spot on. Seth Rogen was hilarious as Paul.
I'm editing this review because I just rewatched this movie yesterday evening. When a 7 year old movie that you've seen numerous times still makes you snort-laugh water through your nose, you know you've got a funny movie.

This fish-out-of-water adventure buddy cop dramedy was an amazing show for its time. Paul Gross is note-perfect as the seemingly naïeve Mountie in Chicago, and the soundtrack stands the test of time as a throwback to a pre-9-11 world.

Highly entertaining Stallone Vehicle that almost has the show stolen from under him by a perfect performance of crazy from Wesley Snipes.
This future fish out of water action movie has an old formula and at times cheesy dialogue but the comedy element keeps it interesting, an underrated and ofter berated 90's actioner that is great fun to rewatch!

It is not a very long film but brilliant. It starts with the crash (sorry water landing) and concentrates on the aftermath and where to lay the blame. Sully really was a hero and it was lovely to see how during the investigation he showed them not to rely on computers as everyone does now but to incorporate the human factor.

Movie Favorite

"My favorite Max Ophuls film. I love the swirling camera that mirrors the circus ring, and the ring of life. The story of Lola Montès (Martine Carol) and her many conquests, reenacted as a circus performance, narrated by ringmaster Peter Ustinov. It concludes with a death-defying plunge into a tub of water to symbolize her ultimate fall from grace."

Book Favorite

"As far as the modernists go, this is neck and neck with Beckett for number ten (that’s cheating, I know), but Woolf must win. Like Baldwin, Woolf has made many a top 10 list, but again, there’s a reason: I know of no more gut-wrenching, soaring prose about shared consciousness, mortality and water. Truly a book for the cradle to the grave."
