Skip It The Film: With advancements in technology and the perseverance of immersive entertainment (videogames, live-action role-playing), Michael Crichton's idea for Westworld — realistic environments populated with lifelike robots designed for rules-free chaos for those with the financial means — seems closer to feasible in our not-so-distant future than depicted in the '70s sci-fi classic …
Highly Recommended Reviewed by Glenn Erickson When I die and they lay me to rest / Gonna go to the place that's the best When I lay me down to die / Goin' up to the spirit in the sky.
