Lady Georgie is looking to escape her family castle and lands herself a position helping with a Christmas house party. But amidst the old fashioned Christmas, she finds the members of the village dying off one by one. Is there a pattern to the deaths, or are they the tragic accidents they appear to be? I made a connection early on that Georgie missed, but once she made it the book took off and never quite let go. I really enjoyed this one.

Intense
Nothing quite like mother nature to give you a good scare. This movie had good acting, really good cinematography and a great storyline. This survival horror movie starts off a little slow with a long hurricane and a daughter trying to find gett father in it. Then they threw alligators in the mix(and BIG ones at that) and things got intense real quick. A few deaths and some jump scares later and this farthest/ daughter duo proves that they don't give up. One of the better horror movies I've seen in a while. This one is DEFINITELY with a watch!

This is a cute little mystery about an ex-pop star who has been dumped by her fiance and had her money stolen from her. That actually intrigued me more than the mystery. I've always wondered what happens to these kids who have spent there formative years entertaining others.
The mystery is these girls have died on the elevator and the deaths are written off as "elevator-surfing".
The mystery is pretty easy to figure out and the jokes are a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the characters and it's a quick, breezy read.

Unexpectedly it's a Michael Bay film with heart and a plot...and it's riveting, focused and engrossing story of special Ops defending a base from overwhelming odds in Libya.
The action is hyper realistic as last minute decisions are being made which If incorrect could have resulted in more deaths than there were.
Effects are on point and as expected from Bay explosions lead the way, but this time not at the expense of the storyline.
I expect Michael Bay had to throttle back his usual enthusiasm so that this true story wasnt suffocated and he does uncharacteristically fine job.
