Vengeance

Vengeance (Lew Fonesca)
$6.99
Kaminsky is one of the best writers in the private-eye mystery genre. In this book, the private eye is Lew Fonesca, a widowed, depressed process server. He is searching for a fourteen year-old girl who has been sold into prostitution.

Kaminsty is known for his Lieberman series. I think that this series is just as good and I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for an intelligent mystery page-turner.

Vengeance [Blu-ray]
$24.98
I'm very impressed by this Taiwanese movie, bought it blindly.
The story is about a group of policement chasing a band of criminals, one of whom has a personal grudge with a young reckless and violent officer. They chase them until they arrive to a gloomy forest, some villagers say it's cursed. In this forest they'll meet some supernatural creatures, all wanting them dead. Luckily, they encounter 2 girls from a village in the forest that help them and heal them.
The story is unfolding very fast but no moment is lost in useless dialogue (maybe a bit in the beginning, but it makes the rythm go up all along) and the character development, betwwen officer or criminals, or the 2 girls, is efficient enough. The creatures are very original (at least to a French guy).

Picture quality : 4.5/5
Really amazed at the quality of this one, the nature (forest, rivers, cliffs) seem very alive, as the faces of the characters having very strong emotions. Sometimes very dark, it helps having an effect of surprise.

Audio quality : 4/5
Sounds of nature or supernatural creatures sounds, gun fire, shouts of men, all is very clear.

Special features : 2/5
Trailers, music video and making of, not much but doesn't bring my liking of the film down.

Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team
$15.99
I had a chance to meet Major Aviv, "Avner" in the book and the head of the Israeli counter-terrorist unit. He now specializes in tracking down foreign assets stolen by bad guys. It was surreal reading about blowing up a terroist in Paris in the morning and then sititng down with a charming and humorous man. Good book. Tough job.
