I think this is my favorite of these all around. It and The Glass Web were certainly the two I was most looking forward to. Check this out:
We start with a man and a woman in the middle of a plan. They’re trekking across the desert leaving tracks and items as they go: bootprints on the road here, an empty whiskey bottle there, a car stuck in a ditch.
We find out that they’ve stranded her millionaire husband in the desert to die and are making a false trail for the authorities to follow. By the time they realize it’s wrong, they’ll claim they got turned around out there, and hubby will long be dead.
Wow, dark nasty stuff. And on the other side, the husband is not taking this lying down. Even though he’s got a broken leg, he’s working straight out of a field survival manual and trying everything he can to survive and bring his cheating bitch wife to justice.
As if that weren’t enough, this is in color and 3-D, and the desert has never looked so bleak and beautiful. It’s really a superb movie.
They show it flat on TV periodically, but I’ve resisted watching it there. I don’t plan to pass up an opportunity to see it in 3-D though. It’s as good as it gets.
Hello, this is a completely random thing but you don’t seem to list any other way to contact you. I have nothing to say about this blog entry, but I happened across your website while doing some searching for puzzle websites, and you are the first I’ve seen to mention Nikoli.
God bless you. Nikoli’s site appears to be a reincarnation of “Puzzle Japan”, which pulled the plug some time ago with no explanation other than “unforeseen circumstances”. I’ve found Conceptis to be a mostly adequate substitute, but PJ was a class above. Thanks to you, I can stop worrying about where I’ll waste my work hours!
Sorry for the random intrusion, but thought you’d like to know you managed to make a total stranger decidedly happy today.
I’ve actually been gearing up to blog here regularly about puzzles and other things, so this isn’t shockingly off-topic.
For anyone else reading this, Greg’s talkiing about my puzzle links page (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ab/puzzles/), which is my pick of the best of the online sites.
The new Nikoli site is the reincarnation of the much-missed Puzzle Japan. I’m a subscriber and love it, though I’d like more hard puzzles and fewer easy ones. They put up some of the puzzles- including all the contest ones- for free, so go check them out.
Thanks for the comment, GregS- I hope to be back to blogging this weekend or so if I can get some housecleaning (literally!) done.
