Ruhto you exaggerate greatly.
The book I'm reading for school is Tuedays With Morrie.
And from it I have created a quote. 'I am the laughter when the devil is within earshot.'

You do like it?   I havent seen it...lots of action?...Maybe I should hire it tomorrow I feel like a good movie!

There is some action, but more importantly I liked the IDEA behind the movie, "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." & "Freedom! Forever!".

& Hugo Weaving's performance is excellent, he delivers some of the hardest lines with incredible charisma. I just love his performance in the movie.

I would highly recommend you to watch this movie. I just read somewhere else that this is an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Alan Moore, who actually disinherited the movie.

But still the movie is made by The Wachowski Brothers, the very same ones who gave us the Matrix Trilogy.

Well after telling this to you, I feel like going home & seeing the movie again, to re-live the experience again. It certainly is a fantastic movie.

V for Vendetta is based on the DC/Vertico Graphic Novel from the early 80's which took place in the future of the late 1990's.  It was... er... is seriously good comic book stuff, and the cinematic adaptation was equally good, despite author Alan Moore's comments.  Mr. Moore was a co-writer with David Lloyd.

Vish is 100% right on with the assessment.  Hugo Weaving does a great job, which is a tribute to the actor because he certainly can't rely on facial gestures for non-verbal communication.  On the basis of Hugo Weaving's  acting alone, the movie succeeds incredibly.  Natalie Portman's portrayal of a Brit is not bad, but Keira Knightley (who actually is British) would have been more convincing in the role.

The IDEA that Vish touches base upon is done very well in the movie with V as its Champion, although sometimes the movie feels like a movie in that there is rhetoric but not enough atmosphere of oppression, which was more present in the very somber Children of Men which was a very convincing and miserable Britain indeed.  But because it is a comic book adaptation, it is atmosphere enough, and I am just nit picking.  I have seen  the V movie several times, Children of Men only once.  A great movie to be sure!

I am reading "Toxic Bachelors" by Danielle Steel. I love this book!

My Mum is moving and so she has given me some of her books from her childhood and some others. In there was "The Railway Children" I started reading it and even though I couldn't really understand the English language of that time, I continued to read the book. I found it hard to put down and as soon as I had the chance would be reading it again. I haven't read a book from cover to cover for a long time. I maybe read a book this way once a year or 1 in two years. This beautiful book has given me the reading bug again and I finished this on in about 4 days. Amazing.

Im reading dancing with the devil - survival for healers and therapists by david ashworth.

[EarlofLeicester]

Can't read just one book at a time, lol.  Currently reading The Vikings: Voyagers of Discovery and Plunder by Magnus Magnusson et al, Medieval Warfare by Peter Reid, and Dragons of the Dwarven Depths by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.  The first book is generously sprinkled with full color pics, heavy stock paper and has some interesting facts about the Viking people that you don't always get in general discussions.  A worthy addition to anyone's Norse library.  The second book is a bit dry but discusses the behind the scenes details in how war was waged in medieval times and the role of government (not just the sovereign leader, i.e. king) in financing and making it happen.  In the USA we are taught kings=bad, blah, blah, but the power of the kind was not absolute even as far back as 700 years ago in England.  Parliamentary support made or broke a King's foreign policy.  (Actually we have a king these days in the USA these days, too, when you really get down to it...) The last book is heroic fantasy in the DragonLance universe written in the era of the War of the Lance (taking place between Chronicles I and II).  So much has been written in the DragonLance universe, but the best (in my mind) is back in the beginning with the classic heroes (and not so heroic) like Tanis, Sturm and Raistlin, and they are all there.  A fun romp through the series that was the LOTR of my generation.
