Product review: I didn't really "hate" it. Just couldn't watch it on my DVD player because it had the wrong region code on it. It was made for region 2 which is Europe...needed to be region 1 for North America. Returned it for one with the correct region code.

Product review: Sent to live with their relatives, Ponette cannot accept the absence of her beloved mother killed in a car accient. She stands aloof and has inner visions respech her untamed affection. Isolated from their very good friends, this 4 year old girl lives into a state of total emotional disengagement, until her firm conviction and steeled strength of character makes she finally accepts and learn this fact.Since the days of the magical film "Forbidden games" I had not watched such powerful and haunting film. (Even Victoire Thivisol keeps a close resmeblance with Brigitte Fossey).To my mind, the other sixteen indispensable films related with the childish universe would be, "The kid", "The fallen idol", "The shoemaker", "The boy with the green hair", "Germany Year Zero", "Forbidden games", "The children are watching us", "Shane", "Pather Panchali", "400 blows", "Tin drum", "Cinema Paradiso", Salaam Bombay", "Kolya", "Ponette" and "Vitus".

Review title: Sue Miller is an Amazing Writer... Product review: ... she really is.She captures everything from that sense you have as a kid that your grandparents' house has always been there and always will be, with them on the doorstep ready to take you in -- to the discovery of what's true about life and what's true about any one life, the individual life.Some things I especially enjoyed, no particular order:1. the way Cath, and we the readers, learn slowly how significant were the months her grandmother spent in the sanitarium2. the small betrayals that we stumble over in each other3. how you can know the "weather" of someone's life without knowing the hidden-away organizing principle4. amazing descriptions and metaphor that resonates foreverGabriel Garcia Marquez and Denis Johnson are my 2 favorite writers -- but gosh Sue Miller sure comes close.

Review title: Kinda Boring and Pretentious Product review: I was extremely disappointed in this book. I never saw the movie, and so I can't compare it. I'm a book reader not a movie watcher.There were occasional good moments (the articles from the newspaper, the recollection of the party, some of the characters were great) but not enough to make this novel very good.And the "NPR-Like" descriptions using incomplete sentences as descriptive devices. I found that very very annoying after a while.Anyway, obviously, many people disagree with me here. This book won the Pulitzer. I try to read all Pulitzers..just to know what is out there. This was definitely not near the top of the heap of Pulitzer history.
