The Bible
In all fairness, the Bible is the only book of the trilogy I’ve read. Mostly because the beginning is a recap of the first. I have not read the third book, mainly because I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Bible. Lots of continuity errors. Also, the book clubs get weird.

Jurassic Park
Stephen Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park took move-goers on a prehistoric thrill ride. In classic Spielberg fashion, special effects, realistic creatures and terrifying action didn't disappoint. Intriguing plot twists kept us on edge, but a-typical writing made it a well-funded creature feature that's still a "must-see" for audiences of all ages.

Calvin and Hobbs
These books were a godsend for a lonely, only child. I can’t think of a character I connected with more as a child. A precocious only child, check. His main company is his stuffed animal, check. Spends most of his day lost in his imagination, check. Thank you Bill Watterson.

Snow White (Disney 1937) - a critique
A timeless tale, a technically brilliant telling. But the modern lens is brutal: the humour and themes don't hold up. An awful protagonist: a wet hen with a grating voice and no personality, surrounded by little leches. Never walks; minces everywhere waving her arms. Best character: Grumpy. Watch instead: Rammstein.

Contact
A highly underrated film about alien contact. If you enjoyed Close Encounters, you will love this. The special effects are a sight to behold, as you can see in the above clip. Based on a novel by Carl Sagan, the science has a great deal of credibility. Just watch it.

Salò
Pasolini’s Salo is a movie depicting the story of four facists during the war who round up nine children and subsequently dehumanise and brutalise them in a series of sadistic processes. This abhorrent diatribe once outlawed is now revered as a masterpiece, only an imbecile would bestow trash with honour.

Oppenheimer And Barbie
What a bizarre paring of two blockbuster movies; one a celebration of a man who dedicated his life to the science of annihilation on a global scale, the other, the celebration of the none-life of a child's plastic toy. Death, destruction, and superficiality. A celebration of foreign and home affairs.

A. Hard Day's Night
A Hard Day's Night not only perfectly captured the so-called Swinging Sixties with its hilariously zany, mad-cap style, but was also a highly influential musical film inspiring spy movies, tv shows, and many pop videos to come. It is a classic rock and roll movie with lots of great songs.
