Weak Sfx

We have all the time in the world

Finally got around to watching this one and was surprised it was better than I expected. It has all the main Bond ingredients, the Aston, crazy villain, awesome locations and plenty of action. Although Diana Rigg really stood out for me as a strong minded Bond girl. Some of Sfx scenes are very dated and some of fights are poorly edited. The overall villian plot might be a bit weak as well but as a whole this is a decent Bond film.

TV Show Rating

Early 2000 - think it's 2004 - Hallmark tv movie starring Patrick Swayze as the African adventurer Allan Quartermain, who is hired by Elizabeth Maitland (Alison Doody) to help her find her father who has disappeared in Africa whilst searching for the legendary King Solomon's Mines.

It's been a while since I read the source novel, so I'm sure this takes more than a few liberties, however there are still elements that I remember from said source.

Basically, the entire thing feels Indiana Jones lite.

And that's not just because Alison Doody was one of the main characters in the Last Crusade.

Great Horror Elements, Plot needs more

The horror aspects of this book was really good. It was creepy enough to give you the heebie jeebies and anything to do with strange looking paintings and children always make things more creepier than they should be. (The Shining, anyone?)

I can’t really say I like Daniel as a character. He had it coming to him. It was an awful cruel thing he did and he deserved every last bit of it. None of the characters really stood out here since Daniel was really the center of the plot, but wow Karina. You’re just some kind of special aren’t you? She played on Daniel’s sympathy until he realized she’s completely bat crazy and well, you walked into that one didn’t you? This is what happens when you want the cake and the cherry on top. Just don’t do it. However tempting that is.

Plot wise, it’s pretty entertaining and good stuff for a horror book. It does come off as reading a horror movie in print which is pretty good and frankly, if this ever was a movie, I’d probably watch it and enjoy it better. The ending was great and is everything you would expect in a horror movie or book. There’s mystery elements into the book which does not affect the story that much and adds more intrigue.

Although the horror elements were good, the execution of the story could be better. I thought certain aspects of the plot were just there for convenience. There could have been more to the Mabel plot arc. It was just planted there with no real explanation except it was given about 2-3 pages but no real contribution. I wish there was more to it. It would have helped, and could have made the story much better.

Despite some of the shortcomings of the book, it was an enjoyable read. It was creepy enough to give you the chills and the ending was what you would expect in this genre. Recommended to horror lovers!
