I got this book because I received my school’s Excellence in English Award at my graduation. My English teacher told me I would enjoy it – and I did. If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s trippy, experimental, and all together very interesting. It’s about the human mind’s response to true terror, the ethics of art, and how just a book can change your life. We see in glimpses Zampano’s reaction to this fictional documentary, how it consumed his life and how he wrote such a staggering book though blind. We see that perhaps the book was his escape from loneliness, but in the end it was also his undoing. When the house in the documentary becomes a labyrinth, the pages of the book he writes become a labyrinth – twisting and hard to follow. The text mirrors the action.
Also we see Johnny Truant’s mental breakdown as a result of reading Zampano’s work. His entire life collapses because of a work that turns out to be fiction.

Anyway, I’m going to stop analyzing this book and just encourage you to read it. Yes, it is intimidating. Yes, it is going to take you awhile to read. But hopefully, like me, you’ll be absorbed and absolutely love it.

When I heard about this as we all did, I thought it would be a great movie. The story is great, yes. But… it is completely devoid of any of the emotions that it should have… it is drawn out to no end. Like I said, love the story. Don’t like the movie… way too overrated.

I couldn’t be sympathetic towards Ennis because Heath Ledger portrayed him as a hurtful man who didn’t even care about Jack anyway. Jake Gyllenhaal did a good job. Still, this movie is not worth it.

I went into V for Vendetta not expecting much (I hadn’t yet read the graphic novel), because it was advertised as another mindless Hollywood action movie.

But I was wrong. It was deep. It was artistic. It was so full of symbols I didn’t catch all of them I’m sure, even the second time around. The message is true and stirring. The acting is amazing.

This is a movie everyone should see: it certainly brings you to think that our society is only a couple of steps away from what the movie portrays.

It’s a thinking movie. Wonderfully done. I love it!!!

I love Terry Pratchett’s quirky satire/parodies.
This is, again, a good one. Not the best I’ve read so far, but definitely worth reading.

This is not just a mindless action movie. It’s an exciting action-adventure with some very real questions posed.

It really makes you think… and shows you some of the conflicts we’re going to have as science advances. Is cloning humans okay, do clones have souls, are they real people, etc.

It really shows you’ll do anything to stay alive, and that people will ruin others lives just to live a couple extra years.

I loved it.

Saw is one of my favorite movies, so perhaps I’m a little biased. However, I do have reasons that it is a favorite.

For one thing, I am a big fan of psychological horror. I enjoyed the creativity of the “killer” and the plot twists that keep you on edge.

The ending completely took me by surprise, and I like when a movie does that.
The clever goriness and the creative plot made this great for me.

This movie is great for anyone who liked the first two of the trilogy or who likes gory, but kind of intelligent thrillers. It is horror meets suspense. This one was unfailingly brutal, and I applaud it for that. It greatly outshines the first two in my opinion.
While the impending death scenes and modes of death are more obviouse this time, it is still intriguing to find out exactly how things play out. The camerawork excellently keeps you guessing.
The deaths are incredibly gory, but for the most part fairly merciful. See this movie!
