No razzle, dazzle here
A fairly average film that doesn't offer much more than the typical tried and tested, girl on hard times manages to find an outlet for her talent and comes good scenario. Some good performances by Christina, the soundtrack to the film is good to. However the film feels a good 20mins too long at least.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
This is a story about learning who you truly are, fighting the system, and overcoming death even if it is temporary. Add in a slow build romance that feels real and you have rosemarked.
Zivah and Dineas's story is told from alternating points of view. The author does a fantastic job of portraying each view point.

A good action thriller that seems to have gone under the radar? A great cast, with a good story that will keep you guessing. Feels similar to the likes of the Siege, Body of lies etc due to the main themes in the story. The action scenes are very good. So if you enjoy a well made action/thriller this deserves a wider audience.

It does have a lot of the campy qualities that are so infamous in regards to the horror movies of the 70s and 80s, but the film also succeeds in developing such an effective sense of horror and tension that it’s easy to see how it spawned countless sequels and an entire genre of horror films.

Vox Lux (2019) kinda sucks
Like its subject, “Vox Lux” is demanding, pretentious and self-congratulatory, although the film takes these traits to the point of cinematic onanism. Occasionally arrestingly shocking, it almost feels like, having grabbed your attention, it doesn’t really know what to do with it beyond hitting you over the head with its achingly obvious allegory for American cultural decline.

Woah
Wow, I do not regret pre-ordering this absolute gem. This is by far, one of his best albums, in my opinion, Lots of people believe that things couldn't get better than 2 or Salad Days, but I'm not sure. It feels like the whole Arctic Monkeys debate.

This really gives me lucid Beatles and soul train vibes while still retaining that classic Mac synth sound.

Great sci-fi fantasy read - adventure, romance, battles ... All the feels
I've had this on my TBR list for a long time and I am so glad I finally got to reading it. I really enjoyed the storytelling and character building - it had me in tears within the first few chapters and cheering by the end. I am looking forward to reading the next one.

I personally loved this book...yes there were things I wished were different but I enjoyed the way it played out..the ending does irritate me only because it feels like a beginning instead of end but honestly even the ending I enjoyed. I live who she ends up with even though I wasn't expecting it...the writing was good as always and overall I loved it.

I loved it..it almost made me cry. I loved the dynamics the angel feels and how he gives up everything for her.i love her story and how hard it Is to move on..I love no they end up together and how it ends. If you like a sweet short story this is just the thing for you. This is one amazing author.
