The Damn Recommends: Anne Rice's Christ The Lord: The Road to Cana!

I just saw this inside the bookstore, and I'm sure it's gonna be a good read! You know why? It's because this is the second off a new series by the legendary Anne Rice! I've read the first book, which is entitled Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt. And it rocked!

Anne Rice is known for The Vampire Chronicles, starting off with the infamous Interview with the Vampire. Being a known atheist, she reconverted back to Christianity by 1998. Since then, she was planning to write about the early days of Jesus. And with the release of the new series last 2005, she has won raves and praises all around the world!

Why?

In the book, she portrayed Jesus as a human, with no knowledge of his divinity. Suddenly he accidentally kills a child of his same age, eight years young. Suddenly everyone is afraid of him. What is he? He asks himself. And things will never be the same.

The first book was absolutely stunning. The Damn read this himself! I bet the second's a killer!

Hot book! Hot book!

Vantage Point A Knockout!

It's hard to believe, but when was the last time a Sigourney Weaver movie made it to number one?

This is it! It's an electrifying hit!

Rummaging from the style of the Akira Kurosawa flick Rashomon, Vantage Point introduces views of different people, from the secret service agent, to the media, to the tourist, to the terrorists themselves. It was kinda awkward when it started, having different views and sometimes discovering that some of what they was right was absolutely wrong, but in the end, everything came in very smoothly, and it will keep you asking for more!

The president of the United States is shot in a peace summit in Spain. Does he survive? How did it happen? Why did a bomb go off afar from the original scene of the crime? Did the secret service allow this? If yes, then why? Or more interesting: how?

Vantage Point, still in theaters!

The Eye, Remade (Should Never Have Been)!

Oh, I am a fan of Jessica Alba.

I am also a fan of the original The Eye by the Pang Brothers.

Don't get me wrong. I was really excited about this remake as to how Hollywood would play out an Asian blockbuster. Like how Infernal Affairs was remade into The Departed. That was ok.

You guys read between the lines...

If you wanna sleep, just stay in bed.

The Mist, Not For The Faint of Heart!

Yes, truly!

And because I've seen it. The ending will truly unnerve you.
A night after a storm runs awry as people are stuck inside a supermarket, unable to get out because of a mist settling down on their town.

Pretty B-movie, if you ask me.

But no, thrill after thrill, the movie takes you down farther to an imaginary land of monsters and aliens. It scares you because it truly asks you what are you gonna do in case it happens to you.

Oh yes, there are tentacles, bugs, bats, giants, all of which you haven't before seen in your entire life. And before you know it, you ask yourself this question: do you stay in...out?

A Stephen King thriller, in the tradition of 1408. I dare you to watch it! my stomach hurt bad after watching it. Truly gut-wrenching!
