I'm not sure I could do any of the others. I remember Timeline was like 3 feet thick and I actually recently watched the movie for the first time. Might spoil it.
Maybe I'll look into Andromeda Strain. I remember thinking about trying it but it didn't really pique the interest of my 11 year old mind.
Timeline is worth a read for the molecular physics lesson alone. If you read, read them. They're all good. [Reply]

Manhunter was great, I have it recorded and saved on my Geni. Ina Godda Da Vida closing scene helps make the film. Nightcrawler was modern day, they have the latest video equipment and when Jake starts making the bucks he buys a Dodge Charger.
I did see a movie last night that was really hard to figure the time. It was 'Her' with Jaoquin Phoenix and Scarlet Johanssen as his computer voice/mate. It's very modern with all the tech stuff, but everybody wears brown pants, corduroy, orange or yellow shirts, and pants that have no belt and wear real high. It's like the future with 70's clothes and everybody is a nerd and the woman like Amy Adams wears no make up and looks really plain, big difference from her American Hustle role. It's a real good movie.

Hadn't heard of this one yet. Terry Gilliam directed with Christoph Waltz makes me very interested. [Reply]

For the most part all of his books are enjoyable page turners and rather quick reads. [Reply]
Watched a great old movie from 73 starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek... Badlands... basically a turn on Charles Starkweather, an actual drifter from 1958 that went on a crime spree with his girlfriend.
Very, very good, damn glad I bothered to watch it... wanna know where Mickey and Mallory or True Romance came from? look no further than Badlands, in fact, the score to Romance is totally ripped off from Badlands.
Lord Have Mercy... Sissy Spacek is RED HOT. [Reply]
Watch The Maze Runner. A little subpar. Not what I was expecting really. And I'm tired of movies based on book trilogies. I didn't know coming in that it was part of a series of books. [Reply]

The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are still the best I can remember seeing on the big screen.
