Heroes: How to Stop an Exploding Man - May 23, 2007 - 12:26am
Pretty disappointing, I must say - for all the mentioned plot holes and some that weren't. As for Hiro, I had always thought (based on the images of his hero and how he was able to bend away the arrows that flew at him in the depiction) that Hiro would eventually go back in time and become the very hero that he had admired (in a literal sense). I'm probably missing something, but from what I gather, Hiro is in actuality Takezo Kensai.

Gil Kenan developing THE CITY OF EMBER - Jul 27, 2006 - 11:11am
I read the book when I was waiting for someone at the library and it was actually quite brilliant. Not at all surprised that they're doing a movie on it. Clues were given sparsely, we knew as much as the characters and we felt everything they did as they made each discovery. I don't know why everybody is ragging on it, but it's a great book and would probably translate well. This is the kind of children's story we should have made instead of crap like Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
