The Girl on the Train (2016)
2016 | Drama, Mystery
Of course, I read the book first, so I was aware of how everything ended up shaking out at the end. Emily Blunt did a fantastic job with the character, and I felt like she was a good fit. I was glad some things were changed from the book, because I felt like some of it was completely unnecessary. It was a solid thriller.

Character chemistry
Storylines
Fantastic show, highly addictive!
The show is awesome, gripping and dark. The characters chemistry and relationships are so believable, especially Norman and his mother, which goes far beyond the normal mother son relationship, which makes for sometimes uncomfortable viewing but still intriguing.

Overall the show is seriously strong; strong cast, storyline and darkness.

The Bad Batch (2016)
2016 | Drama
The casting of the film is interesting, neither helping nor hindering it. Waterhouse is lovely to look at but can't bring much life to Arlen beyond her beguiling face (to be fair, there isn't much of a character for her to work with).
Critic- Eric Walkuski
Original Score: 3 out of 10

Thrilling story
A jolly good murder mystery
It might be shelved under fiction for 9-12 but Robin Stevens' murder mystery series featuring the honest, clever and ever loyal Hazel Wong and her best friend the irrepressible Daisy Wells is an absolutely fantastic murder mystery series to be enjoyed by all ages.

A Wild Time
Disney animation movies are getting almost as good as Pixar's. As a follow up to Frozen, Disney knock it out of the park again in terms of producing a brilliant kids movie that people of any age can enjoy. Amazing animation, a tight script and well implemented voice acting make for another modern classic kid's movie.

Fantastic read. Well written, fast paced read with a great plot and characters. This book is entertaining and has elements of suspense, and mystery. It is a bit graphic and disturbing on difficult subjects. It is still an excellent read. I can't wait to read the next in the series. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

I love this book and Unrest is just as good! I can't wait to read Undone! Well written plot and characters, fast paced and a slow burn romance throughout. The first several chapters tell how Amber and Rylen met. Then you are brought into the war, with many twists and turns. Overall a fantastic read. I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
This is a story about learning who you truly are, fighting the system, and overcoming death even if it is temporary. Add in a slow build romance that feels real and you have rosemarked.
Zivah and Dineas's story is told from alternating points of view. The author does a fantastic job of portraying each view point.

This is the fourteenth book in this series by this author. These books can be read as stand alone reads. This is a fantastic and hot and steamy addition to the series. I just couldn't put this book down, the story just sucked me in till the last page. I can't wait to read more from this author and in this series in the future.
Highly recommended
