Books & Movies of the Month - Sep 2007

You forgot Silverado.

I like the series. You are right on your comments. This particular book was not about Richard and Kahlan as the main characters. He goes over too much past events now and he is too heavy handed with his messages and politics. I got it the first 200 times. It's still entertaining though.

 

Saw D-Wars (Dragon Wars). A complete Korean based movie. Writer, Director, production and everything. The story plot is about a Koren legend. The Imoogi Legend. Good effects, Good story line. Acting was yuck and story writing needed a lot of help though. Heck with that though. The Asian Dragon renditions were way cool.

 

Watched Jason and the Argonauts and TMNT 2007 on Saturday. It was a rainy, slow day. Jason and the Argonauts is one of the classic Greek Myth movies with Ray Harryhausen doing the special effects. Even though the movie is 40+ years old, I don't get tired of it. Some of my lost youth watching Creature Double Feature, Wrestling and Roller Derby on a 13" black and white TV at 2:00 AM in my bedroom. No wonder I couldn't get up the next morning.

Not sure if the TMNT 2007 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) CGI is better than the live action movies. Almost seems like just another cartoon. The original movies were a lot cornier but seemed more appealing.

 

Friday night

The Prestige.
