Reviews

I have seen a few reviews on people's blog lately and have enjoyed them. I thought I would leave a few of my own. We have rented a few duds from redbox lately. That is what is nice about redbox you don't feel like you have wasted your money. One movie we turned off and returned it, It was that boring. So Stillman was a little leary about renting Fame. He has never seen the original 1980's Fame. He had no idea what the movie was about. I had not heard any reviews so I wasn't sure how well the remake did. However I loved it.






Defiantly going to buy this one. It is a story about "a group of dancers, singers, musicians and actors at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, and their spirited drive to live out their dreams of stardom."









I read this book this year. It is true story about an LDS American Spy in Russia. It is marked as fiction as most of the things he tells about are classified, therefore he had to change the names. Micheal Ramsdell is an American intelligence officer in Russia. He has just been made. "spy speak for his cover is blown" he now must escape via the 6,000-mile Trans-Siberian Railway. He is Broke, Injured, Starving and in a hostile country. As he travels he thinks back over his facinating life as an Intelligence officer.

"A Train To Potevka is a story of sacrifice, hope, and second chances. It is about love of family, home, and country. Most of all, it is a testimony to the basic goodness of man and the compassion and concern of a loving God."
