Let me explain. I enjoyed the movie; the books I've wrote about here, I've enjoyed as well. However, I don't really see the point in writing a post that simply says, "Hey, this was good!" I figure I might as well point out the stuff that I didn't find so hot. Hopefully, that way, the posts will be more helpful to others. So, when you read my nitpicky entries, keep that in mind. I don't hate everything I "consume"; I'm just prone to point out the icky spots, rather than just heap praise on it. Fig: lol. Let me explain.

That's all I have to say :D (Though I did like the film, and quite liked the ambiguous ending). Read the book - it’s much, much better than the film. That’s all I have to say :D

Children are often more scared by the evening news, than by the following movie. No wonder that sci-fi-stories. that try to show something that might be possible, are scarier than horror movies.
