LEATHERHEADS was interesting to watch, but I wonder if Clooney's filmmaking style and acting style will produce any longevity in entertainment.

I'm not going to read this review. Why? Because Brian D. "Spoiler King" Johnson probably spoiled several key plot points for each picture.

If there was a delightful joke, Johnson would reprint it verbatim, thus ruining the movie. Yep, there's nothing Johnson likes more than relaying other people's creativity and ruining it for their audience. I bet his "Men who stare at goats" review spoils several jokes not seen in the trailer.

Honestly, this has happened since my family started subscribing to MacLeans when I was a teenager, over 15 years ago. So many movies ruined when I turned to Johnson's column every week. Why?

Can't you guys just fire him? Please?

Jacob's Courage is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This historical novel presents accurate scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of passionate love and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are brutally murdered. From desperate despair, to unforgettable moments of chaste beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.

As a coming-of-age love story, Jacob’s Courage has a natural appeal with young people. The novel is required reading for high school students in Ohio and several school systems outside of Ohio have expressed an interest in using it. This book represents a compelling way for secondary school students to learn about the Shoah.
