I can't believe this movie has won so many awards. It was the longest 2+ hours of my life, sitting in the theater and watching this movie. The camera work was shoddy, and almost made me ill, at first I thought it was done to be artsy or something... But no. I wasn't quite sure how the two main characters managed to figure out they were interested in each other. I am also forever scarred by Elio American-Pie-ing an apricot. The only redeeming quality of this entire movie was the fact it took place in the 80s, so Armie Hammer was wearing short shorts.

Not quite worth all the awards, but great cast
What a strange film. It basically entails Michael Keaton's character, an aging, flailing theatre actor, who is basically having a nervous breakdown and hallucinates throughout the movie.

While the cast is absolutely incredible (Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts), and the acting is equally top-class, the film itself feels like it falls short.

The cinematography is quite stunning, especially the dream sequence with the bird itself. But I am slightly baffled to how this was put up for so many Oscars. A good film, but not a great one.

Titanic was an absolute breakthrough for director James Cameron, swooping 11 Oscars at the 1998 awards. To this day, it remains the third highest grossing film of all time, recently pushed down from second by Avengers: Endgame. Starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, a lot has been said about the film’s over reliance on the central love triangle.

Watching it again over 20 years later still showcases Titanic’s incredible special effects, emotional plot and stunning cinematography and sound design. This disaster film is the biggest of all time and it’s easy to see why, despite the, at times, flabby story.

This is a short story available for free download from Matthew Reilly's website. It follows the usual Reilly formula of breathless, suspension of disbelief action, compressed into short form. Engineering a situation where our heroes must get across New York against the clock and without going below a certain altitude, Reilly uses every trick he can think of to get the reader's adrenaline pumping as they leap from rooftop to rooftop. And he knows a lot of tricks.

This is certainly not going to win any serious literary awards but that's not what this is for. For pure escapist fun to while away the time this fits the bill perfectly.

This is a great website if you are a bookworm like me.
You can find many great books on there and see what people think. If you have any questions about the book(s) you have read or are reading you can ask the author.
It is good for authors who are just starting out and authors who really want to hear what their readers think. Any feedback is good even if it is positive.
Goodreads lets you set challenges for yourself such as how many books you want to read this year.
Lastly there times when you can vote for books for awards.
