Feel good comedy
This is one of those film's that you can put on for a bit of easy watching. I've always been a fan of Adam Sandler anyway but it is undeniable that he is best when working with Drew Barrymore. I was giggling throughout this film and whilst Sandler is critiqued for working on the same type of film's, I don't think that's a bad thing. Stick to what you know right? I did think that the character Ginger was going to irritate me but by the end of the film she grew on me. Overall, a good clean cut film.

What a beautifully heart wrenching film. I feel that this wasn't advertised nearly as much as other Disney films as it managed to slip under my radar. I thought the outcome of the film was going to be pretty obvious, but then bam! Twist and it's something else. Very good! I loved the colours and the stylising of the backgrounds and details. Disney Pixar have always been quite good at this I find. I did not expect the few scenes before the end and I felt like my heart was being pulled out of my chest. Just beautiful!

Fun and engaging
Filled with fun, banter and cheeky assassins what's not to like?
The Assassin's Legacy is a good all around read. I love the different themes, monsters, family dynamics and folklore. Sasha is a charming man that just wants a peaceful life..... Don't we all? I really feel for him, trying to leave his past behind but being pulled back in and not in a good way!
A young adult plus read that will have you entertained from start to finish. Grab a cuppa, some biscuits and settle in for a cracking read.

I've been wanting to see this for ages, as I had the book as a teenager and loved the prospect of it.
All in all I thought it was a very good film, good acting from the two young leads. And the film does follow the book to a T.
I'm probably glad I didn't see it at cinema however as I don't think I would have paid they're prices and been happy with it. But a good film to watch in the comfort of your own house. My only issue was that to me Hugo Weavings acting felt quite forced, it didn't feel right to me and they could perhaps have cast someone different in his role.
I will be watching it again though. And am a bit upset there isn't a sequel lined up.

The reviews sounded promising and I do enjoy a good haunted house yarn. What starts as a ghost story veers towards the running of an illegal brothel by two sick low-lifes. When a cash-strapped girl moves in she finds that, not only is there strange things that go bump in the night, but these two landlords are extremely dangerous. Could the hauntings and these men be linked?
A compelling read at times but certainly not scary. Or at least to me. Well written with a couple of amusing surreal moments but it was difficult to feel much for our leading lady. She really does make some questionable decisions. Also, it is a book of two halves. The second half (3 Years Later) is enjoyable enough but possibly unnecessary/unneeded?
Overall a very good read but not one I would feel the urge to read again.

Characters
I loved the 'detatched' way in which the author writes his characters. The lead seems naive and perhaps emotionally shut down. I found the plot really unusual and the way in which owen and his farther are treated made me angry. But a book that can make you feel things about a character must surely be a good book in my opinion!
