The Stricken Land (20 KP) rated Murder on the Orient Express (2017) in Movies

Ponderous retelling of the Christie novel.
This update of Agatha Christie's famous whodunnit certainly looks the part, and the who's who cast certainly give it their all. But for all its visual splendour, the film fails to really engage and is let down by plodding pace and bloated run time. Akin to watching a beautiful piece of antique furniture for two and a half hours.

This is world-changing and genre-defining
This story begins with one brighton boy reading Watership down,
This novel-based epic is a beautiful mix of crust and strings within a sort of ur-folk, which is hard to characterise to someone who hasn't heard it.
They make the subject matter leap at you with the slamming rifffs and souring melodies, anti-meat propaghanda never felt so good.

Beautiful thought provoking book
This is not my usual genre of book, but I was gifted it as a friend believed I would find connections to the character who I could empathise with. This book demonstrates what kindness can do in a world where we are quick to dismiss others quirks and behaviours that are not in line with ours. Beautifully written, this book left me gagging to know what happened next.

WOW is all I can say.. what a perfect ending to a seriously evil, beautiful, heart wrenching, loving, torturous book!? This series will make you feel everything.. from rage to love. I couldn't get enough and as hard as the last four books were to read, this one made it all worth it. LOVED this series- and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who loves a dark, dark read! Im still just blown away... incredible!

Fenton is too perfect for words, his determination, strength and devotion to Brynne is heart melting. This book was everything... a beautiful, touching love story filled with everything from hot a$$ love scenes to edge-of-your-seat suspense. I laughed, I cried... this book was absolutely incredible! Adriana has a way of making you truly feel as if you know the characters and are a part of their lives. Highly, highly recommended!!!

Intense
This horror/thriller flick was great. The acting (Blake Lively) was excellent and the cinematography was very well done. Some seriously beautiful visuals. This shark attack story played out well with many intense moments throughout to keep you on the edge of your seat. I found myself cheering for her to make it to that next moment. The effects were done very well and the ending was unexpected but welcome. REALLY worth a watch!

A novel with so much depth.
This is an intelligent book which is well crafted and written with such beautiful language. I loved the intensity between the cousins and the complicated relationship between the dead and the alive. The author knows how to bring characters to life and she does it so well. I can't wait to read her next novel. Buy this one. Seriously, it's magic.

Tear jerker
Great adaptation

One of my new favourites. I loved this from start to finish. Lots of "tear jerker" moments. Loved the doomed romance story line. Everyone deserves love even if you know the risks. Beautiful romance. They won't let their illness stand in the way of their love. Risking everything to save her life as well had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see it they both survived.

She is...
This is a book about all Maggie O'Farrell's near death experiences and finally one of her daughter's. Beautiful poetic and hugely honest, although it's the brushes with death that it charters it is the surviving life that flows from the pages. It is a book about being a women, of becoming an adult, of having air in your lungs and another day to love.
