Book Rating

I couldn't put this down! It is a very heavy book. Really made me think about myself, my friends, my town, our world. I think everyone should read this. I know some people have said that Picoult can't possibly write about the struggles of being a minority, but she sure did try, and try well. The audience she has will be better off after reading this. If you read her words after the story ends, you will see how much she tried to get this just right.

So, I didn't actually see this film until the remake was in the process of being made. The film is based upon 'We Can Remember it for You Wholesale' by Phillip K. Dick (which is excellent). Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't an award winning actor, but he was completely entertaining (as he is in most films). The weird, early 1990s SFX where a little bizarre, e.g., the face generator. Overall, it's entertaining and well paced, and I may just watch it again this afternoon.

Well, the remake was a poor interpretation of Total Recall, BUT, I liked it as a sci-fi action movie.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Love and Lechery at Albert Academy: Katie and Pina and the Stalker of Albert Hall in Books

Pina and Katie's adventures continue as does their quest to be together. The new characters in this book add so much more to the story that made it even more amazing. Of course I was picturing Hogwarts when I thought setting but I am a nerd. Maggiore does not just create a well paced suspense with numerous twists and turns but also captures the difficulties of being gay in that time. There is so much packed into this story I couldn't put it down. More please!

Hmmm really didn't get the hype about this film. It's just plain odd and weird without being that entertaining. A very over protective father keeps his 3 teenage children within the compound of the family home, knowing nothing of the outside world. They have become brainwashed by their parents into an odd existence. A few odd scenes and taboo sex scenes as well make it strange viewing at times. It gets a bit interesting towards the end, but it's a long slow watch to get there.

Good Luck based gateway game...

Here is some decisions to make, but everything depends on the dice. Roll well, win the game, roll poorly = lose.... unfortunately there is very little dice manipulation to change your luck if you don't like it. This game is super simple, and probably good for kids who want to feel a little more adult building a city. But this game could use a number of improvements before being a satisfying game for more gamers.
