Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2672 KP) rated Hostage in Books

Mar 9, 2018

After a convenience store robbery goes wrong, the villains take a family hostage in their own home. Unfortunately, the family has secrets that will create a nightmare for all involved. The twist on the hostage drama started out good, but it fell apart in the end when it got completely unbelievable.

Fun for the family

Surprisingly well aged even if some of the green screen effects are a little noticable. Still slightly creepy and inspiring. Gmork's monologue near the end is even more terrifying as an adult. If you're in the mood for something fantastical and a trifle silly and family friendly (except for maybe the sphinx statues) this is a movie for you.

Book Rating

Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.

Set up is a but of a faff. (0 more)

Family classic

A classic game that comes in hundreds of different themes. The rules are a bit complex and I still need to re-read them to refresh each time but once you get going it's great. It can be played by many players making it great for family get togethers.

I enjoyed Marriage Story, for as much as one can enjoy that type of situation. It was frustrating and heartbreaking, and had some funny spots thrown in. It was a raw story of a family going through a divorce. (Granted, it was a family that had access to money for bulldog legal teams, so it was both, "easy," and ugly.) Adam Driver was great in his role as Charlie.

This is a fun family film (0 more)

This is a fun family film. It did a respectable take on keeping with the show and growing so that parents and teens could enjoy this as well. The actors did a great job. It was hokey and fun. If you didn't grow up with the show or watched it with younger siblings/children you aren't lost in in-jokes. Highly recommend.
