A response to Reviews

Dark Visions: The reviewer of the watchmen movie strongly disliked the film.  He thought the movie was very lengthy, and dragged on for far too long. He thought there were far too many characters, which made it impossible to focus on one main storyline.  He felt that the film's attempt at political satire was poor, and left a lot to be desired. To quote his opinion his opinion on Dr. Manhatten, "
Last and hugest is Dr. Manhattan (Billy Crudup), who is buff, buck naked, and blue, like a porn star left overnight in a meat locker." So, in conclusion, he found that Watchmen was a pitiful production, in which the credits were the best part.

Syrianna: The movie Syrianna is a fantastically complex story of the corruption of the oil market, and what goes on "behind the scenes." The reviewer finds that the complexity adds to the movie, that one should experience it, and not simply follow it. He states that the complexity makes the movie such that the viewer is not completely sure what is going on, but that is the point, as the characters are not supposed to truly know either.He says that one should not go looking for the solution in the movie; that the movie is all problem, and this is the beauty of it. In conclusion, he describes this movie as diabolical, absorbing, and fascinating, and one that all should see and analyze for themselves.

Left Behind: The reviewer describes this book as the journey of a man and his son on a road to the gulf of mexico area. The world has been destroyed, and now is desolate, and covered with fire and blood. It appears that these two unnamed individuals are the only two sane people alive, and their situation is a bleak one. Apparently they are attacked by thugs often, in which the man protects the boy, because he was appointed by god to do so. In conclusion, this book is one about survival in a desolate, post apocalyptic world.
