Dean (6921 KP) rated And Then There Were None - Season 1 in TV
Aug 31, 2018
An ok series based on the classic Agatha Christie story. A slightly different story to the film versions. It's very atmospheric with a great location and with a very good cast. For me it was just missing a certain vibe from the film. Still prefer the Richard Attenborough film version @Ten little Indians (1974)

Rolling Stone's 269th greatest album of all time
I wanted to love this album. However, the production of it (the guitar being too loud in the mix and generally just atmospheric noise, and the vocals being quite subdued) made it quite far from my tastes and expectations. An OK album but not my cup of tea.

Jan 12, 2018
Easy to read fictional story based on real murders commited at the same time as jack the ripper. focusing on three characters. The author depicts the seedier side of london with the opium dens and the prospect of fear and death around every corner. wonderfully atmospheric. can`t wait for the next book for the further adventures of Dr Bond
Dean (6921 KP) rated Chernobyl Diaries (2012) in Movies
Feb 2, 2018
It looked ok from the trailer, but having seen the whole film it's not that atmospheric as portrayed in the trailer. It's pretty straight forward run of the mill horror as mutated people attack some young people on an extreme tourism tour of the Chernobyl area. It has a few good moments but I had hoped for a lot better.

I enjoyed this but very similar to the Guest List, perhaps not quite as intricate. I found it quite frustrating that we got to meet so many characters but very few of them were actually involved with the final plot. Also the decoy was FAR too obvious.

Atmospheric Masterpiece
A spooky psychological suspense/horror film that will draw you in and get under your skin. Set in the famously huge Danvers asylum, which has been closed for years, we start with a 5-guy asbestos clean-up crew charged with making the building safe for renovations. We end with...something else. Just watch! And probably rewatch because it begs for it.

Driver
Ryan Gosling plays (Driver) and he plays an absolute blinder in this dark and atmospheric film. Despite portraying this loner, quiet type, well mannered cool looking mechanic. Driver (that's all we know him by) has another side to him. The whole LA city thing is just shot perfectly. I can't get enough of this film, it's that good.

Mar 1, 2019 (Updated Mar 2, 2019)
Have you heard of Gertrude Bell, no neither had I. Another bit of unknown history that nobody really knows. The film is a bit ploddy and seams to drag in places but the scenery and music is quite atmospheric and if you watch this film, watch it for that. Quite interesting though and makes you wish that this was taught in history in schools otherwise it will soon be forgotten.
