Review title: If A Movie Could Get A ZERO, This Would Be It! Product review: Someone stated that this was amateurish work. Actually, I've seen BETTER work by amateurs. This was a complete waste of celluloid. I'm not sure why anyone would have TARNISHED their reputation as an actor to be associated with this production.Is there anything ELSE worth saying?This film does NOTHING to explain the 2012 ideology. It is horrible. This film is full of people who can't act. The script is just atrocious. The premise: is there one? The disappearing woman who wears lip gloss in a color way to young for her. The pregnant woman who delivers in the Mayan temple...Why was SHE added in the mix?The rescue worker who was in dire need of a shrink LONG before this 'event' happened. And...as the rest of the world collapses (literally), they are all SAFE in this Myian temple that opens with a CRUCIFIX? Oh puleeze.

Weak and Melodramatic Product review: Now I have read The Forest House three times to be certain I would give it a judicious review. In the end, I have to dismiss this book as a try on MZB's part to simulate a romance novel. Instead of subtlety I found moments of melodrama. The central romance was boring because Eilan and Gaius were boring (and wishy-washy and conceited and totally without a clue and...and...) I can't stand books in which the characters think themselves the center of the universe, and Forest House is full of these. On a smaller note, I found MZB's rendition of the Celtic Samhain into Samaine very amusing and indicative of the care with which this book was written. To top it off, this isn't even an original story--it's an interpretation of the opera Norma. Read if you must, but you might find having a grain of salt and good humor to be assets. For me personally The Forest House is too full of the ridiculous to affect me any more than with a sour stomach.

Review title: The best short volume available Product review: This is the best short compendium of Native American wisdom available, with excerpts from many sources interspersed with moving pictures. It is excellent both for the reader exploring Native American literature for the first time and for those immersed in the thought. The entries chosen for this work encourage further reading, such as Black Elk Speaks, which might be too long as an intro to the area. I have given the book as a gift many times and will continue to do so.
