Slumdog Millionaire
I have to say I was a bit disappointed in Slumdog Millionaire. It’s not that it’s a bad film, it’s just that it didn’t live up to the hype of a whopping eight Academy Awards. I suppose I should be happy to see that the American Academy would appreciate a film like this, but man, it must have been a poor year for movie . . .
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Beatiful and captivating film. Nice to see this style of martial arts brought into the mainstream — actually, this is what I had always imagined Force-weilding Jedi would fight like… too bad George Lucas didn’t hire this choreographer…
Shadowlands
A few years ago, I had the pleasure to correspond with Douglas Gresham. (FYI, Douglas is Joy’s son — thus C.S. Lewis step-son — played by Joseph Mazzello in this film.) I had recently seen Shadowlands, and so I asked Douglas how “true to life” the picture was. He told me that some details (dates, places) . . .
Star Trek: Imzadi
The Riker and Troi romance, mixed with time travel and classic series themes? What more could you ask for in a Star Trek novel?
