I judged the Juvenile category last year and was surprised by the number of truly fantastic books, although it became a bit overwhelming when 80 books arrived on my doorstep. I enjoyed The Manchurian Candidate when I had the chance to see it years ago. I also had no desire to see the remake. I still regret seeing the remake of Psycho with Vince Vaughn.

This was great, VK! Loved the book vs film commentary, just like NC Magazine. You really nailed it about Marathon Man the movie.
I, too, liked Monsieur Spade, but the ending was disappointing. Almost deux ex machina made manifest.
