Opus Dei - Laibach

Watch it and weep. The opus of one man's life.

Advantages: An inspiration, tear-jerker of a film.
Disadvantages: A little sccharine sweet at times

I first saw the film, Mr Holland?s Opus, when it was released in 1995. My three children and myself were all taking piano lessons at the time and were all eager to watch this. As I was contemplating writing the review this morning, I asked my son (just 10 years old when we watched the film together nine years ago) what he had thought of it. I was amazed when he started to tell me details from the film, many I had not remembered, and even quoted lines. This settled it, the film is intended to be inspirational and according to my son, it did inspire him. And so thanks to John, it was confirmed. This would be my next review. One of the themes from the film is of that of Inspiration. This is not the first film to tackle this theme, some of the main memorable films being Dead Poets Society and Goodbye Mr Chips. What makes this stand ...

Review of Anthems - Laibach

A Magnum Opus to accompany The Magnum Opus?

Advantages: Well researched, full of references by King himself.
Disadvantages: A little academic in style. Character section a bit sketchy.

"The Dark Tower" Series is one that creates such a reaction amongst Stephen King fans. It would appear that there is a definite split amongst his "constant readers" into those who love it and think it is his best work, and those that think it is King at his most pretentious and self-absorbed. There are few that fall into the middle ground. . Naturally I fall into the former category! This reference book is published with the full co-operation of Stephen King and with glowing praise from the author and co-writer of "Black House" Peter Straub which for me can only be a good thing. If King feels strongly enough about this book to endorse it then it must be good. After all King himself calls "The Dark Tower" series his "Magnum Opus" so his confidence in the authors ability to delve into his works must be high. Aptly, "The Road ...
