Libro utila por tiuj, kiuj ŝatas detalojn, sed malpli utila por tiuj, kiuj deziras klarigojn.

Interesa romano, kiun mi unusesie tralegis.

This really excellent film shows how the royals, and in particular Queen Elizabeth, dealt with Princess Diana’s death — or failed to deal with it.

What we have is the adventure of one young man, ripped from his home, trying to get back to save his wife and child(ren) from almost certain death. This is a much more universal story than the collapse of a civilization, and one with which we can identify.

Tamen, oni danku al Ulrich Becker, kiu decidis redoni al la esperantistaro ĉi tiun legindan kaj longe malaperintan klasikaĵon de la rusa literaturo.

The patriotic theme will probably go right over the heads of American audiences — but then we have our own patriotic conventions, which are likely incomprehensible to people outside the United States.

I’m not one of the world’s great Robinson fans. But I genuinely enjoyed this novel.

I wish I could list all the things I found nonsensical about this movie.

This isn’t really the Iliad, of course.

It was a time when America seemed in danger of being overrun by immigrants, as usual.

The movie is now in a very limited release to give it a chance at a couple of Academy Awards, which, IMHO, it deserves.

This is a moderately worthy addition to a relatively small canon. It suffers a bit from being a spin-off, however.

Ne tro longa, facile legebla, kaj atentokapta.

Rekomendata aparte por progresantoj.

This was a good movie to start off the Fourth of July weekend.

The film has a lot of pluses, though I suspect — without peeking at Caesar and Christ — that it is less than historically accurate.

The “trilogy,” though it largely covers this single campaign, is, in terms of time covered, actually a single novel separated from its two sequels, which themselves make up an independent unit, by about a decade.

It struck me that there were quite a number of flaws in this book, all of which would have been easily correctable.
