The Killer Calls
The Mean Season- is a great suspense thiller.

The plot: After reporting on the murder of a teenage girl, journalist Malcolm Anderson (Kurt Russell) is contacted by the killer (Richard Jordan) known as the "Numbers Murderer," who offers exclusive information about the deaths. With the cooperation of the police, who tape the killer's phone calls, Malcolm agrees and soon becomes famous. Jealous of the attention the journalist is receiving for his coverage, the Numbers Murderer kidnaps Malcolm's girlfriend, Christine (Mariel Hemingway).

The film was named after the term of the same name that refers to a pattern of weather that occurs in Florida during the late summer months. In order to achieve accuracy for the scenes that take place in the busy newsroom, the filmmakers used Miami Herald reporters as on-set consultants and extras and shot in the actual newsroom as opposed to recreating it on a soundstage.

Its a great crime thriller.

This film has a promising storyline.A serial killer is abducting and murdering young women in Minnesota and sex crime investigator Marshall (cavill) is leading the pursuit to catch him.A retired judge (ben kingsley) and a young girl are going round luring in paedophiles and castrating them.They both eventually meet and team up sort of (along with a female police profiler) to try and catch the killer.

This film was trying to emulate other classic cat and mouse thrillers like Seven and in parts did give it a go but ultimately failed to do so.The twist they go for when it comes to revealing the killer was ok but if you follow the story carefully you may work it out before then.

Cavill and Kingsley played their parts well and there are 1 or 2 good action sequences.A good little movie that is worth a watch if your looking for a good thriller.

Chilling and thrilling!
I've just finished this book and had to come and review it straight away! I adored this book. I loved the way that each and every character was so deeply explored. I loved the theme of fate vs choice. I loved the ending and the way that no stone was left unturned! I was worried whilst reading it, that I would be left with lots of unanswered questions. I was not disappointed!

The only fault here, is that once you pick it up, you can't put it down! It can be very difficult to keep up with all the twists and turns of this manic novel if you plan on reading it over a long course of time. But it's easy enough to skip back and remind yourself of what's been going on.

Overall, one of the best books I have ever read, and would recommend to anyone who loves a crime thriller!!
