Gandalf vs The Balrog (4 more)
Huge battle scenes at Helm's Deep
Great action scenes
Epic story
Brilliant Sfx
Cinema at its best
My favourite of the Lord of the Rings films. I prefer the battle scenes in this one. The Gandalf vs the Balrog is a scene you won't forget. Everything about the film is top quality, production, sets, costumes, Sfx, the score. Combine that with a great all star cast and an epic story make this an amazing film.

A classic
This is a brilliant example of Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford at their best. Considering this was made back in 1982, the effects and the whole look of the city still look surprisingly futuristic and not shoddy and outdated. The score really adds to the tension and suspense, and the cast are great. This is one of the few examples where the film is actually better than the source material (Philip K Dick' s short story).

Fight like Alexandra Andros
I'm a huge fan of Greek mythology to begin with but the vivant series is my fav orite. Jennifer L Armentrout is a spectacular writer who work is always outstanding.
Alexandra Andros (Alex) is a great lead character strong and cool Harry but brilliant follows her heart and always does the right thing if people want a strong female lead you can not get better than Alex

Good book, as expected, but not brilliant
As with most of his books, this was a brilliantly paced story. Where it failed, in my opinion was that it went overboard on the technical details, in his other books, the author was able to go far into the technical details, because he usually included a character that needed them explaining anyway, so the reader was told about stuff they didn't know, here, there was no such character.

A quiet masterpiece
This was Hitchcock's more subtle films, although it was a flop at the time, I think it's still a quiet masterpiece. It's claustrophobic watching James Stewart follow around an enigmatic woman, becoming obsessed with an image of her, only to realise he's chasing an illusion. The twist at the end is pretty brilliant leaving the viewer slightly spellbound by what happened. While it may not be as harrowing as Psycho, it's still a treat to watch.

Great black comedy with serious elements
This is one of those smaller films that comes out of nowhere and ends up being very enjoyable. It's mostly a black comedy but with some serious and sombre overtones. It's got a fantastic cast, by far one of Colin Farrell's best films and Ralph Fiennes is great as bad guy Harry. It's well written with some brilliant dialogue, and the setting in Bruges is just beautiful. Never fails to make me laugh.

I've been so looking forward to seeing this, and it did NOT dissapoint.
Sheen and Tennant were a genius bit of casting, there wasnt a single flat moment in the series it all flowed really nicely. Even the things that were different from the book just seemed to make it even better.
In fact I loved this so much I really hope they keep the purity of it and dont get talked into creating a second series.

Although I previously started the book twice and didn't manage to get into it, it was 100% worth getting through the first couple of chapters as I absolutely loved it!
The story is full of excitement, brilliant ideas and great in depth description. With there being so many characters in the story, it started off a little confusing but once into the Game of Thrones zone, I enjoyed every second of reading it!

Great Biopic
I really enjoy figure skating although I do not know a lot about it, so I came into the movie knowing nothing about Tonya Harding.
The movie tells a good story, but being a biopic there are different points of view. This is cleverly handled by the way they decided to shoot the movie, so it allows them to tell different sides of the story.
It is entertaining and moving, with brilliant performances all round.

I listened to this book as a child and had almost forgotten about it when I found a copy of it in my mum's classroom and borrowed/nicked it. I had forgotten just how brilliant it is and what a wonderful writer Eva Ibbotson is in general.
Brilliantly paced, beautifully told, completely touching and then hilarious by turns. This is definitely a book that I will return to if ever I am at a loss for something to read.
