Review of Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation

Hey All.  I'm back to tell you about a book that I just finished reading called Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse by Kaleb Nation.  It was an amazing read, although it took the better part of the week to finish.  The story is set in the imaginary city of Dunce were magic and gnomes are outlawed.  And if anyone is caught, be it a gnome or a mage, they are sent to prison indefinitely.  The main character, Bran Hambric, lives with the Wilomase's and their cousin Rosie, Brans only friend.  Bran ended up with the Wilomas family after being found in a bank fault at the age of six, with no memory of his past.  And after a strange creature named Shambles appears one night as Bran and Sewey Wilomas sit on the roof and wait for the illusive burglar, Bran finds out who his mother really was.  A mage.  And not any normal mage.  The very one that created the worst and most known curse in the world of magic.  The Farfield Curse.  Bran soon is tossed into the world of magic as he discovers that there are men in the city looking for him because he holds the last piece to the curse that his mother never finished.

This story is truly a wonderful ride that you can take over and over.  Bran is a great character, and he is surrounded with an amazing group of people, including Sewey Wilomas and his crazy antics through out the story.  I recommend this book for everyone from age 8 to 80.  And with such talented writing, and an amazing storyline that is unique in it's very own way.  I wouldn't be surprised to see this novel become another big Hollywood film.  That's all for now.  Happy reading!

Something New

"Gilligan's Island" To Be Remade

It is finally official.  Warner Bros. recently bought the rights the ever popular 60's comedy, were a couple of odd and interesting characters get stranded on an island.  Long time fans will either love this, or hate this.  Because the remake will mean re-making the script so it's a bit more modern, and getting the storyline so it's up to the 21st century.

Big names in Hollywood would nice to have in the movie, but a remake for such a big show like this requires getting the right person for each...not just slapping some Hollywood heavy weight in it just to get more publicity.  This movie might be good with new people that are talented, or maybe some really good unknowns that will wow us.

One thing is definitely for sure.  The critics will be watching this production very closely, as they with all remakes, and wait for the moment when they find the fatal flaw and tear the film to shreds.  Expect this movie to probably hit theater's sometime in 2011.

And with remakes hitting the box office, does this spark off debate about other old time shows getting Hollywood movie remake?  Some shows to think about are Love Boat, The Beverly Hillbilly's, and the Brady Bunch.  One show that was remade was nearly a major flop and now run's on TBS several times a year (never a good sign for any movie)...Nicole Kidman was great, but it was Will Farrell that turned me away with his awkward personality and weird humor.  Let's just say some remakes just don't do the original any justice.

So here is my question - What show would you like to see remade, may it be past or just ended a couple years ago?
