The Devil came on horseback
The Devil Came on Horseback is a first hand account about the genocides in Sudan. It is a rivetting read and it is a book you can't put down despite the horror of what you are reading. The detailed observations just fills your mind and imagination with dread about the atrocities that humans are capable of inflicting on each other. I finished the book in 3 days flat - so you can say it is a must read.
I saw 'Timecrimes' earlier today and it is a hard one to review - I didn't enjoy it because I could see what was coming next - the plot was pretty predictable for being a time travel movie. There is some dark humor in there but enough to tide you through the movie- I am not sure. I scored a free ticket to 'Teeth' from Claire and it was another movie that was part of 'Incredible Strange Film Festival'. It was cringe worthy in many places but ultimately as a movie it never really goes anywhere tangible - it is basically a high concept low budget film.
This weekend is going into reading the first revision of Rejected, to get an idea of what are the points I can see for streamlining the story further in draft-2. That's me for now.
Till later,
