Signs dir. by M. Night Shyamalan
I found this to be a very disappointing film. I had enjoyed Shyamalan’s films and had hoped for something equally as good. It wasn’t even a twist that I was looking...

The Matrix Revolutions dir. by Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski
V disappointing, think they really should have stopped after the first film and let the audience make up the end themselves. The film starts off pretty much where Reloaded ended, with...

Beauty by Sherri S Tepper

The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind
Terry Goodkind
A very wierd book, imo. Almost nothing at all about Richard, instead it is all about his half-sister Jenn.
I have such an ambivalent attitude towards this series. I quite enjoy reading them but the political and philosophical meaning behind the stories is almost the exact opposite of everything I would believe in.
In Wizard’s First Rule for example the basic premise was that people are stupid. That mob rule always wins out, and by being able to manipulate that you can guide people into believing almost anything.
