Complicity

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

I read Iain Banks' book ages ago and didn't realise there was a film of it made in 1999. He does write some very dark stuff involving nasty deaths and this is a good example of that. A journalist finds himself too close to a series of deaths, possibly involving a conspiracy. Is he the killer?

It's a Scottish based production, but with a few English actors putting on accents. Johnnie Lee Miller is the lead and is hardly off the screen. Brian Cox is the detective.

It does feel a bit rushed, but then I think they have tried to fit most of the book in. I remembered some of the plot and worked out who did it before the end, but it was still enjoyable, if you like murder, suspense and a bit of kinky sex.

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Books
Genre:	Science
Author:	Carl Sagan

Considering this is a 30 year old science book, it was a great read. Lots of interesting stuff about Sagan's part in planetary exploration and speculation about things like extraterestrial intelligence. He was expecting us to have sent people to other planets by now, but who would think that nobody would go outside earth orbit since the moon landings.

Crimble!
