Great Popcorn Movie
I've enjoyed this movie since I was a kid and I own a copy of it. I like watching it fairly often. It's campy, but fun with a lot of great one liners from Kurt Russell. The story is interesting and the fight scenes are entertaining. Sure, it looks a little dated, but it's still a great popcorn movie with the right mix of comedy and action.

Kennedy's life was just odd? I feel like this would be a high school required reading or something. Then you should write a paper on how a decision could have gone in a different direction. Which funnily enough was in the story ( no that's not a word, but I like it). In the end it was happy and you thought about your decisions but beyond that I really wasn't impressed.

When I heard of this I expected something along the line of Cloverfield, The Mist. It does have a bit in common with those, but there isn't a lot of action in this or many scenes with the creatures, which was a disappointment. It's still a good film, very character driven with some good set pieces. I would have preferred a bit more focus on the Monsters though.

Beautiful movie
I wanted to watch this after learning that it was based off of a true story. Even if you don't care for musicals, this has a pretty good storyline and, of course, great actors to support it. I could have done without a couple of the songs but there were a couple I thought were actually great. All in all, it's a beautiful movie and I'd watch it again.

How many books do people read in a year? I see people who think they are doing well if they manage one a month - sometimes I can do that in a day :-) Obviously our circumstances are all different but a day without any reading is a day wasted for me! I've averaged about 15 books per month so far this year. Yes, I do eat them for breakfast!

Yes, Real Life is a nuisance when you're in the middle of a really good book!

I generally read one or two books a week depending on whether they are novels, novellas or easy reads, or not.

In other news, I finally caved in and bought a Kindle today! Amazon have knocked £30 off and I couldn't resist...?

Just a feel-good movie. Whenever I feel down, I still put this movie back on. Just Can't Stop This Feeling!

The book was the first real classic piece of literature that I read as a child. I have loved it since.
