Books Twilight Dynasty: Courting Evil
By Barry H. Smith Through past life regressions, ancient books, and Satanistic like rituals a supernatural force is brought into this world. Obeying its master's commands to torture, murder, devour whomever it is told.
Amanda Stewart barley escapes with her life, many others are not so lucky. Now she is living in constant fear of being found and sacrificed for this "thing." Not knowing where to turn, Amanda seeks the help of her uncle Kyle.
Kyle is just an attorney, but with the help of a psychic, maybe they can find and destroy this monster before it finds them.
Not only did this book question your faith, it pushed you to the edge of your seat. Barry Smith did a superb job introducing all of the characters, and there were a lot! He did it in such a way that each is unique. You will remember, and know all of them.
There were a lot of flashbacks that were difficult to understand at first; they eventually all fall into place. This book held my complete attention from the moment that I picked it up. I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the supernatural, or just enjoys a good suspenseful read!

Movies The Planet of the Apes
Directed by Tim Burton The Planet of the Apes, directed by Tim Burton, is action packed throughout the entire movie. The ape costumes and makeup are amazing. Some of the apes are frightening from the makeup to the deep scary voices of the actors.
Astronaut, Mark Wahlberg plays the main character from earth, he disobeys his boss by following his chimp to the Planet of the Apes. He crashes on a planet that is run by evolved apes. Wahlberg lands right in the middle of the action, as the apes are taking people captive. Tim Roth plays an excellent evil ape hating humans and begging his boss to do whatever possible to exterminate them. Several other nasty apes make for some scary bad guys. Estella Warren plays the attractive scantily clad blonde in the movie that manages to convince Wahlbergs character to take several of her family members to safety. Helena Bonham-Carter plays the good ape that despises the way apes treat humans and helps Wahlbergs character throughout the movie.
The non stop action keeps you interested, but it could be scary for younger children, as the apes take humans prisoners, branding their necks, putting a collar on a little girl, locking humans in cages, and several other scenes that might not be appropriate for young children.
Despite some scary scenes, the movie has a good underlying message making the person that is watching think twice about the way they possibly treat animals as the movie reverses the roll of human and animal. Definitely, a good action packed movie, with great makeup, costumes, and an important message for all.

Books From Eulogy to Joy
Compiled by Cynthia Kuhn Beischel in collaboration with Kristina Chase Strom
From Eulogy to Joy is an anthology with approximately one hundred and fifty entries. Individuals share their stories of loss, of grief and recovery. It is a book of hope and encouragement, a book I wish had been available while I struggled with the loss of one teenaged son and then, nine years later, the loss of a second teenager. It is not a book
that dwells on loss, but on lessons learned and graces given. The real-person accounts of people watching loved ones struggle with Alzheimers and lung cancer, dealing with the taboos of suicide or the loss of someone who should have been close to you and was not, recovering from the death of children,provide in some sense a game plan for dealing with death. The authors speak of the importance of
ritual, of taking and giving - time to grieve, and the effects of journaling in times of crisis.
I view this book as being an excellent resource during times of loss. We have or will, face the loss of loved ones. It won't dry your tears, but it will assure you that life continues to be good.
Published by Xlibris, 2001. Available in hardcover and paperback. Purchase through Amazon.com, orders@Xlibris.com, Barnes & Noble or local bookstores.
