blithe Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Classic Tarantino ~ violent, unrestrained and thoroughly entertaining. Dare I say, I may have enjoyed it even more than Pulp Fiction and I didn't think anything would ever top that. Brad Pitt is in top form, getting most of the best lines and generating a lot of the humor. I don't know if his high-profile off-screen image will prevent an Oscar nomination, but for me it will be remembered. Loved it! Loved that movie too. All the performances were great! Finished Animal Farm by George Orwell. There is only one word ....Brilliant! I reread Animal farm last year and really enjoyed it too. Great book.

Jue xxx Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I couldn't finish the book "Owen Meany" either. And this is after seeing "Simon Birch" the movie version of the book AND after hearing John Irving read from it live. When I started reading it, I was not happy. I have liked other Irving novels, this one just didn't do it for me. I finished Owen Meany last night, and I don't quite know what to say about it. I thought it was far too long (it took me almost three weeks to read), and I found myself skimming parts of it, but other parts were really good, and the end (last 40 pages or so) was fantastic and pulled the whole book together. I'm glad I perservered with it because the I really enjoyed the end, but I wouldn't read it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
