I havent read any of Stuart Nevilles books before but I have heard good things so was pleased when I was sent an ecopy of Those We Left Behind from NetGalley and the Publisher - Random House UK / Vintage Publishing, in return for an honest review and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Claustrophobic paranoia!
Just thinking this film about young girls who decide it would be a good idea to traverse the depths of deep, unexplored caves gives me a knot in my gullet. The most compelling aspect of this film is the uneasiness you feel as the girls go deeper and deeper beneath the earth not knowing what they will encounter.
The set up is definitely better than the delivery, but a creepy horror tale worth recommending nonetheless.

Can't wait for the next season
This show had well developed characters who each had there own back story which really impressed me as it's something I feel only the best shows manage to do. This is one for people who prefer gore and/or superheroes.
I can't say much more without giving a way the plot but it's a series constantly full of surprises and trust me you will be surprised!!

Reasonable feel good comedy
The trailer for this looked ok so I thought I'd check it out. Quite similar to Shallow Hal in many respects as a curvy girl gets a knock to the head and suddenly thinks she looks like a super model. While not hilarious there are a few laughs along the way. I think the critic's missed the point that confidence is attractive and people should worry less about looking like a photoshop model.

Not a huge fan of Martin Freeman but he is great in this little movie about a family just trying to survive a strange virus that puts people into a zombie like state, cinematography is very good and you generally feel for him as he falls victim to the virus then struggles to re home his young daughter before he "turns"
Solid performances from the many small name actors, we need more like this from Netflix.

This is the perfect book for YA. The questioning of the main characters is realistic. Also the fact that the author shows both the negative of religion and positive. Yes there are bad people out there but not all are bad. The character of Chloe is especially well written and I feel would be helpful for many young people who can relate to the situation she is in. Also no sexual content so a good starter book.

Interactive on DVD
Innovative Horror Film
A great little known Horror. It's slow to start but bare with it, very violent and will make you jump. A bit like a Big Brother show with a twist. It's a very good film and interactive on DVD. Something very innovative in that you can change camera angles for some scenes and change the audio channel to hear a different feed. Makes you feel like an online watcher.

Epic, magnificent, fun
Right where do i begin. I would recommend watching it in Imax as the sound of the car race has so much depth and just big 3d screen amazing.
The book is great and how they converted it to big screen well done Spielberg and cline excellently done.
The film follows a interesting guy who gathers a group of friends to save the oasis. Feel good fun energetic and blast from the past

Not quite the sugar coated feel good film I was expecting. It's quite dramatic and gritty in places but I think that makes the harshness of the situations the characters find themselves in and what they go though in their life time more realistic. This makes the film better overall. Very well directed, a great story some great child actors and a fine soundtrack produce a film everyone will enjoy and be drawn into! Jai ho!!!

Before I watched this film, I read through the little booklet that accompanied the Criterion Collection edition, and it made me feel like I'd done nothing with my life because I was the same age as GDT when he made the film.
I thought it was good for a debut film. It did take a while to get going, but I still enjoyed it. It does look low budget, but wasn't enough to distract me.
