I have no idea why this book made the New York Times Bestseller list. The plot was very convoluted and didn’t come close to being plausible.

“The Hearing” by John Lescroart
“The Hearing” by John Lescroat is a good legal thriller on par with his other novels. The center characters are Dismas Hardy, a defense attorney, and Abe Glitsky, a homicide lieutenant, who are close friends in San Francisco.

“Silent Partner” by Stephen Frey
Found Silent Partner by Stephen Frey on my bookshelf a couple of days ago. I think my Dad gave it to me last year after he read it. Read it in less than a day as it was an enjoyable thriller and wasn’t in the mood to do anything constructive. The story is about Angela Day who...

Surrogates – 2009
Surrogates was an OK science fiction film staring Bruce Willis. I have enjoyed many of the science fiction films featuring Bruce Willis. They are usually quirky and very well done. This film was an exception. I had the sense that everyone was going through the motions and no effort to make anything greater than...

“The Spies of Warsaw” by Alan Furst
The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst was a good historical spy novel. I found out about the book from a New York Times travel section article. Since I regularly travel through Warsaw, I was interested to learn more about the city. While the novel mentioned places and streets in Warsaw it didn’t paint...

Knowing
I watched “Knowing“ staring Nicholas Cage on pay-per-view last night. It was much better than I thought it would be. The plot is about a single father, M.I.T. professor (Nicholas Cage) who discovers a list of numbers written by a child 50 years ago. He quickly deduces that the numbers have predicted every major disaster...

“Cemetery Dance” by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child is the ninth Pendergast novel. It came out in May 2009. It was an interesting read, but I don’t think as good as past novels. The story revolves around a cult that has been squatting in Inwood Hill Park in Manhattan. Bill Smithback, who has been featured...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an assault on the visual senses. It takes the action film genre to a new level. I am not sure if this is good. Towards the end of the approximate 2 hour and 20 minute movie, I was getting anxious for it to end as I was getting...
