Ryan Reynolds and Samuel l Jackson give this film a great source of entertainment the chemistry between them is brilliant proper love hate relationship wise cracks and abuse to each other makes some entertaining scenes . While the overall story is not new and has been done before by others. It's worth watching both actors play off each other and the film flows generally well at a good pace. Well worth watching on a Friday night with a few mates and beer .

Wow, wow, wow! This book was very gripping! I loved the way the main characters had their own points of view as chapters. The whole plot was amazing. I can not think of one bad thing to say about this book. I'm definitely going to give Heather Gudenkauf's other books a read now as I believe she is a brilliant writer. This book is so emotional, and I would've never guessed the gunman's identity at the end. What a shocker!
  
I was really looking forward to this book having enjoyed the first one so much and it didn't disappoint, read it in 24 hours, I couldn't put it down, I love that you pick up the story exactly where you left and your not kept waiting for answers for ages, the only problem I had was mixing the characters up at times, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment, it's a brilliant read but you need to be familiar with the first book

Brilliant British Film
A great British film, gritty and hard hitting and made on a shoe string budget. It doesn't matter, the story and acting make this a very powerful film and it deserves all the awards and accolades it has received.
A young boy bullied at school joins the local skinheads in early 80's Britain, but the fun and games soon start to turn nasty and violent.
Check out the spin off TV shows as well.

I Solemnly swear I am up to no good
I think all of you wonderful people are fully aware of how much I love Harry Potter, so obviously there is no doubt about why this review is going to be a glowing report.

Bottom line; you should read every single Harry Potter book because they are well written, have amazing characters and a brilliant storyline.

Brilliant writer
One of my new favorite authors!!!
I cannot say enough good things about this author. I stumbled upon this book, totally out of the norm of what I had read in the past. I honestly couldn't put this book down. I had to know what was next. Easy read because it was so wonderfully written and will suck you in front the get to! Highly suggest bthis book and any other by A.J. Banner!

After putting off watching this film for some time I decided to give it a go one evening after hearing all of my friends praise it. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy it as much as they said I would. Even though Hugh Jackman and Zach Efron were brilliant actors I just couldn’t bring myself to put all of my attention into watching the film. I would recommend this film if you enjoy musicals but I wouldn’t bother watching it again.

On reflection I will be upping this from a 4 star read to a 5 star read. My reason for this is because eventhough I read this last year I still remember pretty much everything from it. It has stuck with me and I still think about it, I would be more than happy to re-read it. I loved the characters, the writing was brilliant and I think it's safe to say that Laymon is one of my favourite authors.

Can’t compare to the first film
I just think the sparkle from the first film is missing from this offering but Cher is ABBA-licious
The plot is okay
The performances are brilliant
The songs are good
But the sparkle is missing, I do wonder if Meryl Streep is otherwise known as sparkle (we know her screen time isn’t as great as it was on the first film)

Well Written
Description from the website: As Dr. Abbey knows, there are difficulties in running an underground virology lab in a post-Rising America. And unwanted guests must be dealt with.

A newsflesh novella this book is based at Dr Abbey's lab, during which we get to meet the people who help it run as smoothly as an undergound virology lab can run. The novella is hilarious, well written and has some brilliant one-liners would definitely receommend a read,
