Simple, quiet book but you'll never forget it
+ Thought Provoking and Relevant
+ fascinating and memorable read
I did a comparison of this book with Childhood's End for A-level English. Two more different sci-fi books would be difficult to come by and that was the point. Earth Abides is a quiet story, full of the thoughts of Ish and the story of the community he helps found after a plague wipes out most of ...

Quest for Fire120 reviews
Everett McGill, Ron Perlman
20th Century Fox, 2003
No words, just a good story
+ Gripping
Years ago my husband and I watched this movie. We loved it. No dialogue but you know what's happening. It told an amazing story. Human, rough, real but quite good. We take fire for granted, this shows us that life isn't all that easy.

Adrien Brody, Kyle Chandler
Universal, 2006
Fantasic!
+ Good Movie
+ A Chest Thumping, Rope Swinging Good Time
First of all I want to say is that King Kong is visually stunning through out the whole movie, from the 1920s New York to Skull Island and to the monsters on the island and especially Kong who looks stunning on the screen. One question that bothers me is that how the Academy Award Winner Peter ...
