Very good film (true story) about a southern white family takes in a homeless black child - teaches him about life and makes him welcome. Sandra Bullock is brilliant as the feisty mum, the little boy was good too (don't know the actor's name). Good family viewing and yes it might make you cry.
  
City Of God (2002)
City Of God (2002)
2002 | Crime, Drama
Brilliant study of two very different boys that follows their very different paths as they try to escape the slums of the favela.
The story is visceral and unflinching in its violent and frantic storytelling, which can be jarring, not an easy film to watch, but an important one, in a word, masterful!

Favourite film
This is my favourite movie of all time. Its just one of those films you can watch over and over and never get bored! Whenever its on tv I have to watch it and my dvd is probably worn out. Absolutely amazing movie

A sequel worth a watch
Nowhere near as funny as the first one but such a good film, brilliant characters and so much humour. I am a massive Will Ferrel and Mark Walhberg fan. I would definitely recommend this. It's great to see the change in the characters from the first film.

The Truth Shall Set You Free
have heard great things about Mr Patterson.

"Brilliant Writer"

"You've not lived till you've read his work"

"He is an absolute genius, how he comes up with these stories is beyond me"

and so on and so forth.

So naturally, I was curious, but not impressed.

Historically really wrong , loads of spoofs, Mel Gibson's Scottish accent. (0 more)
So bad it's brilliant
This movie is so historically wrong but when you put the Brave heart theme tune to it, all is forgiven. It's actually a pretty good movie if you think of it as fiction.

I don't know what I can say other than "wow this is incredible" to sum up this book. Hard to choose between this and The Ocean at the End if the Lane as his best, but remains one of the best novels ever written.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm a sucker for a good fairy tale retelling and this one is top-notch!

Kat and Steffan's are great characters and the way they team up to find out what's going on is brilliant!
  
The character development, the speed the plot moves, its brilliant. (0 more)
Lyra wouldn't get over her father rejecting her so easily at 12 years old after she only just found out I don't think. She's a strong character but not that strong. It felt like the ending was rushed. (0 more)
Brilliantly enigmatic and interesting read
