Though this clever and intriguing idea will undoubtedly make you laugh (if you can stomach it), Palahniuk's signature 'shock value' style can go overboard at times. Damned is a damned good book, with a unique premise and engaging writing, but I often feel Palahniuk relies too heavily on simple tricks to shock and offend the reader.

Good video game adaption
Probably the best game to film adaptation so far. Really keeps the feel of the game with flashy graphic scenes just like playing the game. The charaters are true to the game and the fights very impressive. Complete with the sexy female charaters and it couldn't be any more like the game.

Keeps you guessing
There were a lot of possibilities with this one and they didn't feel like false leads. It was really hard to figure out how it was going to end. Told from 3 points of view in present time and a month earlier.
Very good! I highly recommend this one when it comes out on June 4th!

A decent entry to the Pixar garage of films. This did feel aimed a lot more at a younger audience, where their other films have something for all ages. A good voice cast and shiny motors with some impressive animation again. I loved the "Cars" versions of Toy Story, Monsters Inc at the end when the credits roll!

What a disappointment
I was so looking forward to watching this, although reading poor reviews I still had high hopes. I was very disappointed, it was a slow burner, but a slow burner without much substance. I didn't feel connected to the characters or really care about what happened. I was so disappointed because the book was really good.

Emotional, intriguing and twisty
Well written, smooth story lines, didnt seem unrealistic or cheesy, could not put down. Literally read it in 1 day while hosting a yard sale. The plot is good and keeps you on edge of seat but makes you really feel for the characters. Now I really want to watch the show.

A very average action/thriller, more of a teenage Bourne identity. It obviously had plenty of money to be spent on it, but from the very experienced cast none of the performances were that good. It does feel like a collection of ideas from other films, but sadly doesn't do them as well. Ok if nothing else is on.
