Customer Review: A Gripping and Eye Opening Riptide.
I read this novel first when I was in middle school. It was around 1984 when I found a copy of the book at a garage sale in Russellville, Ohio. I asked about it and the lady said it belonged to her son, I could have it if I would carry a could of tireless rims out of her garage for her, she was old. I read most of the first half of the book on the ride home, we lived in Springfield, Ohio and were traveling home from visiting family on the Thanksgiving holiday. The novel gripped me and opened my young eyes to the true face of war. Public school education is such a sanitary way to learn of the real historiues of men… I later heard Huggett speak, fascinating… I recommend this, I still have that first copy, thumbworn and held together with duct tape, though I do have a newr copy that I read every couple of years… It, coupled with ten years of service in the U.S. Army remind me that sometimes we have to take responsibility and it isn’t always pretty. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read hnovels that fell honest.
Customer Review: Bill Huggett; Giant of a Marine
William Kelly Turner Huggett, 65, died in Miami, Florida, August 31, 2004. He was graduated from Emory University with a double major in history and political science, joined the Marines because he wanted to serve his country, and was awarded the bronze star for heroism in Vietnam as a 2nd Lt. His book “Body Count”, published by Putnam in 1974, was based on his personal experiences in the Marines and in Vietnam, and was written while he was in law school at the University of Florida. I first met “Bill”, or “Huggett” as he was called by friends, during a small dinner at a friends home in 1977. When he found out that I had served three tours in “Nam”, he went out to his car, and came back in with a copy of “Body Count” which he autographed for me. I still have the book. He was married with two children, and practiced Admirality and Maritime law in Miami. Huggett was among the most energetic and magnetic personalities I ever had the pleasure to know. Semper Fi.

Prizzi’s Honor [1985]
Customer Review: Bullets are hitting the wrong targets and missing the right ones
When the mafia becomes the argument of an action film and little more it is no longer funny, it is no longer strange, it is no longer fascinating. It is nothing but outlandish and terroristic. It takes all Jack Nicholson can give to make these characters in anyway palatable, and even so. In the Prizzi family all other considerations than the family is outlawed, except maybe for a couple of weeks and the woman concerned by this out-breeding passing passion has to submit and take the color of the wall on which she is being pinned. If she does not then she will be executed and cut off. There is no depth in that film, no subtleties or even subtlety. Get the message, bang it down on the table and then cram it down your brain. Business is business and in-breeding is the rule. I will always wonder why a hit-woman with a reputation of efficiency and effectiveness misses her husband when he intends to kill her though she manages to shoot one bullet first. Suspend your disbelief and incredulity. The cinema is the new church of the visual dominant animal man is. To see is to believe. But at times to believe is easier when you are blind, and probably deaf too. Apart from that it is interesting even if we do spend a little bit too much time in planes going east and planes going west, kind of an airlift between New York, or whatever may titillate you, and Los Angeles, or whatever it takes to please you.

Customer Review: First class comedy of bumbling hitmen at work and play.
Gangsters and hitmen make irresistible viewing. Bungling assassins are an even bigger hit. Add to that recipe the class acts of a wry and wily Jack Nicholson, Kathleen Turner and Angelica Huston and Prizzi’s Honor is a must-see. This 1985 movie stands apart in the genre of death-with-a-giggle and criminals with a conscience, and ranks for murder and mirth with Luc Besson’s “Leon” or Joe Pesci’s more recent “Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag”. This is another classic Nicholson comedy. Put this video on the shelf with “As Good As It Gets” and watch them and laugh over and over. There’s always something fresh or unnoticed in the twists and turns of the plot, the background shots or the dialogue every time you run it. Fine performances, intriguing story and very, very funny.
