"This is a veritable cornucopia of conspiracy theories, probably only exceeded by Illuminatus, Eco can tell a story well. Once you get past the first chapter it picks up."
"I first read this trilogy 25 years ago and it made me laugh. It's still selling strong (here combined into one volume of all 3 parts). This is the perfect antidote to Dan Brown ;-)"
"I have to include this. It was the first 'serious' conspiracy book I ever read. Almost made me want to go to Rennes le Chateau. Also got me interested in the Cathars. Mr Brown's inspiration?"
"I don't actually like his writing, formulaic, predictable, poorly researched. But outselling everything! A literary agent I met said it's a book for non-readers, which is what publishers want."
"Pre-dating his successful da vinci code, this is another conspiracy-ridden novel. Suffering from all the same style (sic) and research (lack) problems, it is even more ridiculous and incredible."
"This was probably the earliest environmentally based science fiction film. Made in 1973 the special effects are non-existent. Set in 2022, not so far away now, it looks uncomfortably precognitive."
"Industrial conspiracy rather than political/religious. But this is a well made film, well acted, and with interesting plot twists (not all of which are predictable)."
"I liked Cube, although it's a bit gruesome. Hypercube (Cube 2) was a bit too sequelly for me (if you see what I mean). I liked Cube zero too, an interesting way of revisiting the story."
"X-Files - the movie, not necessarily the pinnacle of the storylines explored in the series, but if you don't already know the series an easy/cheaper way to 'get' it"
