Advantages: A Stunningly good author Disadvantages: None
My wife read it and said: "You should read this book (Neverland) by Simon Crump, it's got a very black sense of humour. You'll enjoy it."
So I did. It was. I did.
Neverland by Simon Crump. It's a very novel Novel. Is it a collection of interlinked short stories, as some people believe? Yes. Well, no. Not, quite. It's more a collection of interlinked ideas, instead.
By the way, the dead hamster unicorn featured in the novel? I'm not entirely certainly it was. Dead, that is.
Simon Crump takes several different ideas and places them in a very unique and out of place context. You can imagine Michael Jackson and Uri Geller together. (They are or rather, were friends in real life) You can imagine them being in a shopping mall. You can imagine them having an argument. But then place them and their argument (and the stunning consequences ...

Simon or (S1m 0ne) as it is also spelt is a 2002 film directed and produced by Andrew Niccol, and stars Al Pacino.
I decided to write a review about this film because I felt in did not get the credit it deserved and is a great film that most people haven't seen.
Viktor Taransky (Al Pacino) is a movie director facing an all time low point in both his personal life and his career. Both his wife and his lead actor for his new movie have walk out and left I'm on his own, and due to his track record in the movie business no stars want to work with.
Viktor is blessed with good fortune when he inherits a hard disc from a dying fan, Hank Aleno. The hard disc contains Hanks life's work as a computer programmer and it is a program which allows you to create an animated computer generated person.
Viktor uses the program to create a new ...

Advantages: Shameless satire of Hollywood Disadvantages: Major plot loopholes, dumb characters.
"Simone" from 2002, a movie that suffers heavily from major loopholes in the script and plot by relatively still new director, Mr. Andrew Niccol.
Some of the problems the movie has though are another overrated and average performance from Al Pacino and actress Catherine Keener. Pacino has delivered some great performances in the past, but recently we've seen him basically play himself, an obnoxious celebrity who thinks he is God's gift to actors. Speaking of which the loudmouth comic, Jay Mohr is extremely funny in this flick.
The Plot
Viktor Taranksy (Pacino) has just lost one of his major stars, in the middle of making of a movie, because he doesn't want to shell out the money she's actor for. Taransky pathetic life, despite being one of the most s a Hollywood director, is about to change. Luck is about to step in, in ...
