WOW!
When I went to see this in the theaters with my fiance @Brad L McKee I thought it was going to be good and then when it ended I was thrilled to find out it was even better than I thought it was going to be. I have to say it's my FAVORITE Pirates of the Caribbean movie so far
Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Americanisation: Lessons in American Culture and Language in Books

I was sent [Americanisation] by the author [Angus Woodward] since I had read and reviewed another book of his. This one was much different but just as good. I loved the tone of snarkiness that the author uses to portray "typical" American life from the eyes of a new immigrant. Sadly I don't think it was far from the truth.

So far, this 3rd book has been my favorite of the series. It is very suspenseful. There are lots of deaths, so many that at one point I thought, "How can this series possibly keep going?" But as usual, George R.R. Martin has tricks up his sleeves. And let me say, that I didn't see any of them coming at all!

Another great Steve Berry book! This one involves the tomb of the Dragon Emperor & his terra cotta army created by and buried with him. Lots of twists and turns right up to the end, just as any Berry fan expects. As far as I'm concerned Berry can't write quickly enough. I have yet to be disappointed by any of his books!!! :)

Not as enjoyable as the first book in the series. The PoV is now with Shaun, a much more irritating, geeky protagonist than his sister. There is a conspiracy running through the plot, which is exposed very slowly over far too many pages. Again, the action scenes are quite exciting but they fit into an overall piece which is somewhat disappointing.

Why did M Night Shymalan make another film?
He's a one hit wonder. While there have been far too many films using the same premise, this seemed like it was going somewhere slightly unpredictable. But alas, my viewing was thwarted by the same old same old - literally. At the end, I did find the film entirely pointless. Don't even bother to watch this.
Ross (3284 KP) rated A Crown of Swords in Books
Sep 20, 2017
For me I think this was where the series really started to drag. So much time spent on describing horses, riding dresses and in-fighting between "sisters". Some fairly major events of the series occur in this book but so much of it is spent sorting out the weather. Some really exciting action scenes but dragged out over far too many pages.

Well the cover is gorgeous and the synopsis is amazing. I was drawn to the book from the synopsis, but that is as far as the praise can go. This book has potential but it jumps around entirely to much and is a bit hard to follow. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.
ClareR (5841 KP) rated Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games in Books
Apr 11, 2018
This is equally as good as the first volume. This volume follows the 'creature' (who looks nothing like one - he's far too attractive, to be honest!), trying to locate the keys that the family have hidden around their house and grounds. This time, they find the Head Key. Oh yes, it's a good one. I could do with a head key....

Stewart Granger
Comedy
Romance
I discovered Stewart Granger years ago in college, and this is by far one of my favorite films of his. If you enjoy a good Swashbuckler classic in the ways of say Errol Flynn, then you won't be disappointed. Full of fun, laughter and sword playing, this is a great film for all ages.
