DVD Verdict Review - A Beautiful Mind A Beautiful Mind is based on the life of John Nash, a Nobel Prize winning mathematician who battled with the debilitating mental illness schizophrenia. A Beautiful Mind is far from perfect, and I can name at least five or six movies from 2001 I'd preferred to have won Best Picture, but it's worth seeing for its fine acting and its accurate and balanced portrayal of schizophrenia. A Beautiful Mind is both served and disserved by his talents. www.dvdverdict.com /reviews/beautifulmind.php   (2704 words)

Power Windows...Rush Inspirations And when one will mention that book to you or that poem to you that story to you, then this beautiful thing, indescribable, intangible, image which you have drawn out of all that comes into your mind. I wanted to get that kind of Jabberwocky, uh, word games thing happening with it and also there's little things going on that your mind sort of catches without identifying, like a lot of poetic devices.

Amazon.ca: Books: The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind I read this book about 20 years ago, and it still stands out in my mind as a very interesting theory. The arguments in Geoffrey Miller's The Mating Mind suggest pressures that would have caused consciousness to be used as soon as the brain developed the capacity for it. think of the example of our mind as a chariot, the five horses pulling the cart are the senses, the reigns are our mind, the cart itself is our body, the driver is consciousness.... www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0618057072   (1201 words)

Some love it, some hate it, but The Emperor's New Mind, physicist Roger Penrose's 1989 treatise attacking the foundations of strong artificial intelligence, is crucial for anyone interested in the history of thinking about AI and consciousness.

Perfume by Patrick Suskind - Book Perfume, the story of a murderer, is a tribute to the mind and imagination of Patrick Suskind, who so wonderfully combined all of the elements needed to sustain a great story. I beleive that Perfume is better qualified as a "bildungsroman" or as historical fiction rather than fantasy as it draws upon many truths and tells a disturbing yet none the less a beautiful story that is completely within the historical context. While I am unsure as to whether 'Perfume' qualifies as a fantasy novel it must be said that it is an absolutely brilliant story, able to capture the reader from the word go, as well as being quite unlike any story I have ever read before. www.sffworld.com /book/2227.html   (640 words)

ReadingGroupGuides.com - The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason Though we were reading Sylvia Nasar's book during the summer we began The Rule of Four, we had no idea "A Beautiful Mind" would be made into a film three years later, with Princeton in a starring role. Oddly enough, scholars don't even agree that the author of the book was Francesco Colonna, despite the internal evidence of the text that he was. The Rule appears to be related to a set of four cardinal directions and distances found in a diary that surfaces at the beginning of the novel. www.readinggroupguides.com /guides3/rule_of_four2.asp   (1528 words)

Resistance is futile In a Beautiful Mind moment of schizophrenic clarity I saw the book for what it was: not a gentle introduction to life's most profound curiosity, but a primer for the parasitic offspring of an invisible invasion! So it was with genuine anticipation that I opened the book, curious to know what the people at Little Golden Books believed small children who stick Beeferoni up their noses could absorb about the Inscrutible One. Having found no theological resolution in these rarified encounters I have left the door open to the chance that sublime truth may be found where I least expect it. www.whatisdeepfried.com /zogg/zogg1.html   (306 words)

The Jungle Book DVD review on AudioRevolution.com However, parents should keep in mind that while the film is rated PG, the commentary is more in the PG-13 range (apparently, the trained bear who played Baloo was in a particularly ornery and frisky stage of puberty during filming). "The Jungle Book" is a fairly awesome undertaking that involves working with children and animals (Sommers often, in both the featurette and the audio commentary, recalls W.C. Fields legendary advice regarding same). The film was shot almost entirely on location, including an Indian palace, stunningly beautiful waterfalls and forests spanning three continents. www.avrev.com /dvd/revs/junglebooklive.shtml   (726 words)
