The Devil Dared me to
The list of movies and books keep getting bigger.The books I finished reading since the last post:
Disgrace by J.M.Coetzee : Awesome book. Thrilling and painful and vivid as his other books. A must read.
Trinity : It is a graphic novel but nonetheless - it was a fascinating read and it comes out more as a character study of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. I thoroughly enjoyed it and the art work was fantastic.
The Life Eaters by David Brin: Another graphic novel which takes an interesting premise and turns it upside down on it's head. The story telling is fantastic.
And the movies that I watched were:
The Devil Dared me to : Blah!!! A NZ movie. The film makers spirit is infectious but not the movie. It has a few good jokes but that's about it. Watch it if you love 'Jackass' kind of humor.
What's eating Gilbert Grape: Fantastic movie. Leonardo Di Caprio's performance is something to savour and overall the movie is gentle and very touching.
For Your consideration: Average movie. It has funny bits and pieces but the whole thing goes on too long. It would have been a more enjoyable experience if the movie had lost about 10 minutes odd.
Letters from Iwo Jima: Fantastic movie. It was a painful experience watching the movie and it just shows that war has human casualties no matter what the final outcome is. Ken Watanabe is awesome in the movie. To read more about that war click here.
That's me for now.
