One of the weaker Bond films
A very good action film continuing right on from Casino Royale. Plenty of action, chases and explosions. Has a certain Bourne Trilogy feel to a lot of the stunts and fights. The Bond films now are more gritty, raw without the tongue in cheek humour of the past films. One for all out action entertainment but not the best story for a Bond film.

Complex Characters
Really Good Remake
I like the creative license taken by this remake. The new songs were good, and the costumes and sets made it feel more like France. However, the accents were all over the place, and some of Belle's backstory felt weak. But the characters were so complex and dynamic! Gaston and Le Fou became much more interesting and finally felt like real people.

A very good film, although I had hoped for something a little bit more after the trailer. It's more of an action/drama dealing with the drug trade in the slums of Rio in Brazil. It has a good story and is well made and shot with a fair share of brutal, violent action scenes. Almost feels like a documentary at times it has that raw feel about it. From the same director as City of God.

This was an interesting set of books and authors. I personally didn't feel that it was "horror" persay but it had some of the slight creep factors.. now if it was YA (which I have no clue if it is or not but I think i saw its adult) it might be more horror then adult. But the stories themselves were good. I enjoyed them and the writing was very good . i am glad i got to review it

A great OTT action, disaster film on a grand scale. The budget must have been huge, the SFX alone are very good and the biggest pull of the film. So very well done, you'll feel like you're on a roller coaster ride the whole time. Very similar to all the other big blockbuster films of Emmerich, The day after tomorrow and Independence day and this sticks to the same formula. Good cast to, well worth checking out!

A good action film with a popular cast. Not bad SFX, but the story gets a bit weird at times?! It kinda has a X men feel to it with the characters having different special powers, but it isn't as good as those films. It maybe could have done with a few more actions scenes, there is a lot of dialogue and scenes waiting around deciding what to do next. Worth a watch, if nothing special overall.

Contains spoilers, click to show
In the book, Clay's voice doesn't feel as animated as it did in the show. In addition, the book has a slower pace but the concepts were good. It doesn't deal with what happened to Jessica as much as it did in the book because it's exclusively from Clay's perspective so that means we don't see Jess telling her dad what happened.

Oh so beautiful
This is fairly simple game with straight forward strategy that has few variations. It helps if your opponent is as skilled as you as that makes it more challenging. Said that, I am very happy to return to this game when I have bit of time as the cards are beautiful and it is definitely one of those 'feel good' games, no matter whether you win or not. It is a good addition to my collection.

Sis holmes
I love millie brown on stranger things I know she can act. But the script felt like enola should carry the show and just forget about sherlock holmes. Henry cavill played a good sherlock for a short time. I didn't feel like it was equal. Enola felt like sherlock didn't understand didn't give him a chance

Nice easy watch
I find this a nice easy watch when I have gone brain dead in the evening after a manic day and do not want to concentrate on an actual programme or documentary. It makes me feel a bit better about my awful cake decorating skills - it's always good to see your not the only one who is not so good.
