Dean (6927 KP) rated 8 Mile (2002) in Movies
Feb 17, 2018
A very good, solid film about a young white rapper, trying to cut it on the rap scene in Detroit. Seems loosely based on Eminem's background? There is a good supporting cast especially by Kim Basinger playing his mum. This will surprise a lot of people as it's not the the type of film most will expect it to be. Eminem plays the role well. Even if you're not a fan of his music or rap in general this is still a watchable film about someone trying to better themselves and break away from their humble surroundings.

Good remake
This is a brilliant if simple thriller/horror film! I was surprised I liked it so much, favours well compared to the original and much better than The Hitcher 2 which no doubt passed many by, just as well. This is very similar to the original with the general plot and "key" scenes still in it. Sophia Bush is great in this and Sean Bean does make a a good viillain. Very violent and bloody to go with it! If you thought this would be a poor comparison to the cult original then I suggest you check it out.

Loved this book
Unlike most of Sarah Dessens books Once and For All isn't about first love. Its about what comes after. I really enjoyed the flash backs that slowly showed the reader Louna's past. In general the book is about Louna as she moves forward in life, so it was nice to see how her past played such an important role. Louna is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen characters, and her friendship with Ambrose had me smiling throughout the book. This is definitely a must read for anyone who is a fan of young adult romance.

As a lover of all things history (especially to do with historical crime), I really enjoyed this book. Bess was a likeable (for all her faults) character and the Thief-taker General makes a good villain. The only small drawback would be the slang - I enjoyed it and it gave Bess that little bit more voice, but it could also get in the way at times as I had to flip to the back to find the translations.
All in all, I loved this book and will probably reread it in the not so distant future.

Clint Eastwood's latest one is having a somewhat polarizing effect for a lot of people. I liked it, and was entertained for the most part. Bradley Cooper and Michael Pena were drastically underused, and I had forgotten they were in the movie at times.
The film started out slow for me, and honestly, the part at the beginning could have been cut down considerably, and it still would have been cohesive.
I know one of the critic reviews I read complained about the non-PC situations, and, I guess if that bothers you, you probably wouldn't like the film in general.

Just Because
Just like book 1, this is a good book for young adults who like science fiction and romance. It might be a little boring for some adults.
MILA is on her own now but still doesn't know her place in the world. She is not only on the run from General Holland but also from Vita Obscura who both want to use her for their own gain. With all the running and the confusion going on inside her head, MILA has no clue who she can trust and is learning to rely on herself.

The final book in the MILA trilogy. Great series overall for young adults. Fair warning though the ending is both touching and sad, defiantly worth the time it takes to read it.
MILA knows who and what she is but feels she needs to redeem herself for things done in her past. She makes it her personal goal to set out and stop General Holland once and for all. Sadly she has to make many tough decisions in the process of protecting the world from dangers no one knows are there, really how dangerous can an American teenager be?
