Henry and Kristl witnessed The Trial (1962)
“Nowadays you can hardly say anything against Orson Welles without invoking scorn and ridicule,” Kristl mused. “You were going to?” “Not on purpose, but I feel a bit apprehensive about it. I mean you have a certain amount of leeway towards almost any other director, except for Welles.. You have to say he was a…

Henry and Kristl enter the Mists of Avalon (2001)
“So ever read the book?” Henry asked, “Seems like the kind of book you would have read, in your days…” Kristl frowned, “My days? Sounds like I have outlived my shelf live. “ “Eh.. Well I mean, from when you were younger. When you read these books. Fantasy and such.” Kristl gave Henry a look, “Gosh,…

Henry and Kristl did not last to see 13 Assassins
“Gosh,” said Henry. He and Kristl were both gaping at the large screen that adorned one side of the wall and which had, mercifully, gone black. A soft sound of static emitted from the screen. It was the only sound in the otherwise silent room. Kristl pressed a button on her wrist watch and glanced…

Henry and Kristl spaced out on The Road(2009)
“Bleak, bleaker, bleakest. Is there a word that would top bleakest?” “Sunshine,” Henry said. “Sunshine?” Kristl’s jaw dropped and she gave Henry a look of incredulity. “Yes.

Book review: Julian
Julian by Gore Vidal My rating: 5 of 5 stars Although it is not impossible for an imperfect person to write a perfect work, few people, perfect or imperfect, will do so and therefore it is not hard to be a critic of someone’s work. Not hard at all. Thus I found myself writing one…

Henry and Kristl saw the Warriors (1979) march
“So why are you smiling?” Henry.. looked at the faintest of smiled that made Kristl’s lips curl. “Because I find it somewhat funny that someone lectures the general public and then get’s it wrong himself. Double funny, when all he needs to do is check what he is saying against general accessible information.” “What do…

Book review: Night Watch
Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko My rating: 2 of 5 stars I have stopped reading Night Watch around page two hundred and will return the books to the library. The writing started to annoy me so much that it was no use continuing. BackgroundNight watch is not a surprising read. I say that because some…
