Reviewed Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie

Midnight's Children will keep you up much later

Rushdie is a well established author who proves his ability yet again in Midnight?s Children. My first experience with him was with Haroun and the Sea of Stories (great book ? I reviewed that too). That made me fall in love with him as an author and this book has solidified those feelings. I rea...Read more

Buffalo Soldiers strives to be more... and fails

The opening scenes of Buffalo Soldiers does not take place in Mongolia and it does not feature Cameron Diaz. But for a brief panic stricken moment I thought it might. Since I wasn't the only one rummaging around in my purse to double check my ticket it could only mean stupid working the projecto...Read more

HotBot Is a Promising General Purpose Search Engi

Frankly, I still have no idea what the word 'hotbot' means or what it relates to, perhaps some Mouthshut members could enlighten me on that. But that did not stop me from using HotBot once in a while for my searches and there are several things that I like about it, although, if you read my prev...Read more

Patchy

There was a deep suspicion about this album right from the off, as it was written at the same time as ''Load'' and could therefore be regarded as rejected material. The band vehemently denied this of course, claiming that the two records are vastly different, and I have to say I broadly agree wi...Read more

Antichrist Superstar - a story of decay

When the band's third album hit the shelves, I was ready and waiting. I was taken aback by the price tag. I bought it and rushed home to enjoy Manson's latest work of art. I can sum up the experience quite briefly - I was blown away. In more detail, and after a couple of listenings, the st...Read more

Granted, the role is very close to his own life, and Curtis Hanson (who was nominated for an Oscar for ''L.A. Confidential'') is a brilliant director. But, in the end, Em...Read more
