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.

This book. I don't even know what to say. It's been compared to Gone Girl, but I don't really think they have that much in common. I preferred the ending in this one, I like people to get their comeuppance. I felt bad for the main character, Rachel, I mean she had her issues, but I feel like deep down she's a good person. Anyway, if you like psychological thrillers, I recommend checking this one out!

The first time I watched this movie I was really drawn into the plot. I would have liked a little more background, but that's just my personal preference. The plot is angsty and can be kind of dark. The language can be offensive depending on your views, but I feel it fits the movies tone well. The acting was alright, but felt forced at some points. Overall it was a very good movie and would recommend watching it.

I read this book after seeing it recommended on the TWLOHA blog. While I didn't connect to it personally as much as I did with books like Jamie's own If You Feel Too Much or The Reason by Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf, it's good to understand that different books work for different people. If you felt the first two were too religious, this book is definitely for you, and if not, you may still find something worthwhile.

Great
This movie surprised me. The main actress played her part excellently. You could really feel her intense emotional turmoil throughout thr movie. The rest of the acting was decent enough but could've been better. The story line, while predictable at times, played out interestingly enough to keep you watching. The effects were done well. There were a couple disturbing scenes so it's not really for kids. Makes for a good date night thriller though. Worth a watch!

It started with a secret is about how one secret can lead to several issues down the line but also something beautiful.

I love the style of writing, it flows between characters seamlessly and cleverly. The story is very feel good and the characters fit in well.

My only small criticism is around the title, I think the secret is a little underwhelming when it comes out. All issues are resolved fairly quickly.
