Product review: I liked reading bits of this book, which seemed to work fine because the novel was put together in bits. Nissen uses way, way, WAY too many adjectives (and particularly adverbs) to describe the most simple objects and actions, so in that's she's definitely showing off, character's voice or not. I wasn't convinced by how each of the characters fit together and, in the end, I felt no sympathy or empathy for any of them. Typically, I enjoy any novel that describes NYC street for street: it's one of the most relaxed, warm feelings I have, imagining I'm in Manhattan. Nissen did okay with that. What she didn't do so well with was the time period: I felt like she was making fun of the 70s (or was it the 60s?) retro fashions instead of putting us there firsthand. Overall, okay. Don't expect to feel as though you've accomplished anything reading this book, but it can be fun if you pick it up at random.

Review title: I really WANTED to like it, but... Product review: H.G. Wells story, great cast, big Hollywood budget -- what more could you ask for, right? A lot, as it turns out.Costumes, historical sets, special effects, and supporting performances were all brilliant. For a while, in fact, it seemed like this was going to be a good movie.Then it... drifted... It drifted into ghastly political correctness. It drifted into sets that didn't seem plausible with the story line, and less-than-stunning monster effects (where's Rick Baker when you need him?). Then it ended with a huge, ridiculous, totally unbelievable twist that must have H.G. Wells rolling over in his grave.What can I say? Read the book.

Review title: The best western ever Product review: This is with out a doubt the best western ever to grace the silver screen. The acting in this film is some of the best to be seen William Holden gives an outstanding performance. The slow motion special effects are the best and the first western to use them as far as I know. It's a shame they don't make westerns like this anymore. The only complaint I have is with the dvd It's a (flipper disk) and it is not anamorphic but I am sure that they will fix this in the future. This film is highly recomended.
