Book – ****+ The Cobweb (1996)

rmann July 16, 2019 July 18, 2019Movie and Book Reviews book, drama, fantasy, history, political, review 0

Neal Stephenson and J. Frederick George thriller. Very engaging drama of a fanciful Iraqi scheme to build bio-weapons near an Iowa university. Equally interesting is the government compartmentalization that tries to avoid discovering what’s going on.

Wonderful adult comedy with Theron and Seth Rogen as unlikely romantic leads. Both fish-out-of-water make the movie work on many levels. And the theme of the need for integrity in all things political couldn’t be more timely or germane for the audience.

xceptional restoration of actual World War I footage using the actual participants in a way no actor could duplicate. As interesting as the restored footage is the 30 min follow-on piece about the decisions used in the restoration and the painstaking efforts to ‘get it right’.
