Mars and Venus on a Date

by John Gray

A very good, insightful self help book on relationships. Discusses the differences between men and women and how to approach love and relationships in a successful manner.

Cute! (rated 3 stars)

Lovewrecked

by Randal Kleiser

It’s a cute movie and quite funny. Something to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

A story about "Apocalypto"

Apocalypto

by Mel Gibson

True, the story is not historically accurate but it is a most gripping account of one man’s survival and his claim on his identity. The movie was made in remembrance of Abel, referring to the first bloodshed and man killing his own and that is one of the themes of the movie – the horrors of war and man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. Apocalypto is barbarically beautiful.

A review of "Daughtry"

Daughtry

by Daughtry

If you liked Chris Daughtry in American Idol you will not be disappointed as he stays true to his signature style. Amazing vocals, he sings with passion. Can’t even choose a favourite track as all songs are great. An album worth buying.

Fantastic (rated 5 stars)

The Notebook

by Nick Cassavetes

What a beautiful movie! This is a truly romantic movie. I haven’t seen anything as good as this since Legends of the Fall.

It's Alright! (rated 4 stars)

The Kite Runner

by Khaled Hosseini

I liked the book. I didn’t love it but it was sad enough to cry. There were too many coincidences and the story tied itself up too neatly that some parts were corny like in a predictable movie. Overall, it’s a good read.

A story about "Papaya"

Papaya

It’s nicer if you squeeze a lemon or lime over it.

Mediocre (rated 3 stars)

The Blind Assassin: A Novel

by Margaret Atwood

It took me a while to get into this book. The writing style is a bit old-fashioned for my liking and I don’t like sci-fi therefore the “alien” story did not appeal to me at all. However, three quarters into the story it got interesting and the ending made up for it.

Laughable! (rated 1 star)

Lady in the Water

A load of crap, if I may say so.

A story about "The Libertine"

nobody@allconsuming.net (zed4zorro) — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 04:12:13 GMT

The Libertine

by Laurence Dunmore

A very bleak movie but Johnny Depp’s performance was amazing. I wouldn’t say this movie is worth watching but I liked it, strangely enough.

Way too much hype!! (rated 2 stars)

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

by Gore Verbinski

It’s quite bad. I’m still in shock. Very disappointing!

Why I recommend "Shantaram"

nobody@allconsuming.net (zed4zorro) — Thu, 20 Jul 2006 05:38:13 GMT

Shantaram

by Gregory David Roberts

Just read the first page and you will know it’s going to be a good book. It’s beautifully written with meaningful phrases in italics scattered throughout the story. Phrases and sayings that you relate to and that make you think. The author is very observant and very detailed in descriptions you can really feel and taste the setting. And there’s humour in it too. Real funny stuff you will laugh out loud. I really liked this book and I’m so glad I read it and I can’t wait for the movie in 2008. Johnny Depp bought the rights and he is going to play Linbaba. Interesting!

A story about "The Nun"

The Nun

I watched this under the title of Water Spirit. Don’t bother.

Why I recommend "Casanova"

nobody@allconsuming.net (zed4zorro) — Thu, 11 May 2006 03:41:38 GMT

Casanova

by Lasse Hallström

movie Casanova.
One word – Oliver Platt! Hilarious! Okay that’s more than one word. Watch the movie, Platt’s character is amazingly funny!
