It was a major reality check. I started to realize how "perfect" my life looks like compared to the lives many many people are living. It was eye-opening and beautiful. And one of my favorite actors, Jeremy Renner, nailed his role so well that it wouldn't have been the same movie without it. So...you should watch it.<br /><br />And now that I know it's a book, I'm definitely going to check it out ASAP. :D Great post!! :DSierra Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330264859252593838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-17599360591885721942012-09-25T07:14:50.262-04:002012-09-25T07:14:50.262-04:00Earlier this year, I found The Glass Tower which w...Earlier this year, I found The Glass Tower which was the basis for The Towering Inferno, my favorite ever disaster film! Haven't read it yet, think it's riding around in my car actually. Need to dig it out. I didn't realize that either Roger Rabbit or Die Hard were based on books.
