Week in Review #13

This week I reviewed six picture books.

I barely watched anything. That's not true. I watched a LOT of Emily D. Baker. The Kouri Richens trial finished up and there was another shorter trial covered as well.

I reviewed Goodnight, Bruce. Lolly On the Ice. Rumpelstiltskin. Tiny Garden. The Future Book. Pizzasaurus.


Century of Viewing #13

1950s

• 1958 The Day the Sky Exploded. Or Explorded as the case may be). Italian science fiction. The audio was English. I'm assuming dubbed at some point. This meteor movie lacks intensity. Unless you are thrilled about a showdown over air conditioners. It's good the earth was saved because the air conditioner was turned back on. This movie was strange but not in a great way.

2000s

• 2005 Dawn Anna. A single mother facing a horrible brain disease finds romance and utter heartbreak as her daughter is one of the victims at Columbine High School. I didn't know what I was watching until I'd already committed a good deal of time to it. That aspect of the story is the last ten minutes maybe? last fifteen? So it doesn't dwell on it so much, but, it ends with that. IT is based on a true story. I think it was a made for television movie.
