24 (Season 5)

by Fox

Not so exciting right now. Good first episode though.

Why I recommend "Moon Palace (Contemporary American Fiction)"

Moon Palace (Contemporary American Fiction)

by Paul Auster

The middle 200 pages are good, though the last 100 pages or so are painful to read… A lot of typical-Auster personal transformation going on. The main female character is surprisingly flat, a “delicate”, “exquisite” and sexual “dragon lady”.

Why I recommend "Match Point"

Match Point

by Woody Allen

Intense movie, tight, efficient editing. Surprised that Woody Allen has this dark side in him. Excellent soundtrack.

just the thing we need (rated 1 star)

Syriana

by Stephen Gaghan

The most annoying thing about the movie is how it reduces such complex topic of oil & politics down to just greed and corruption amongst the people in power – which might be completely accurate – but there was no need for a 2-hour movie to tell us that. But the feeling after seeing the movie is that it’s all the rich and powerful’s fault, while we’re all innocent consumers doing nothing wrong, which might be just the thing us over-consuming Americans need to hear to sleep better at night.

A question I have about "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter 4)"

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Harry Potter 4)

by Mike Newell

How about the blatant sexism and racial undertone of this movie?
