Dean (6927 KP) rated Immortals (2011) in Movies
Feb 11, 2018
A decent sword & sandals film. Generally more like 300 than Clash of the Titans thankfully. From the same producers I believe as 300 and it has a very similar CGI visual style to it. A nice twist to some of the Greek mythology in the story. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the SFX are very good. Add to that Mickey Rourke giving a good performance as the chief villain and you have a very good film.
Cynthia Armistead (17 KP) rated Cross Bones (Temperance Brennan, #8) in Books
Mar 1, 2018
I was really disappointed when I realized where the plot was going - Christ's bones? Come on, Reichs. But she did a very good job with the plot, giving the reader plenty of intrigue without ever getting into any mystical nonsense. I found the references to The Da Vinci Code highly amusing (there may have been some that I missed, but I haven't read the book, and I was only half-way paying attention when I saw the movie).
Charlotte Cartlidge (22 KP) rated Elizabeth is Missing in Books

Elizabeth is missing is an easy read tackling a tough subject matter (dementia). I was gripped from the get go reading about Maud and attempting to unmuddle her mind. I found myself very attached to her story both past and present. Without giving away to much, a slightly disappointing ending, leaving me with more questions than I had to begin with. Overall I loved Emma Healeys storytelling and would read a few more of her books in the future

Great read
I personally really enjoyed this book, I was instantly hooked into the story line, solver a murder that happened years before...
I really liked the main character Kim stone, giving us great details of why this case meant so much because of her awful past, and how strong of a woman she is now, this story is very fast paced and keeps you interested constantly and guessing who done it and will they be found out.

Paton Smashes it again... Must Watch
A fantastic Low Budget Psychological horror that shows us that the monsters lurking in the woods are not necessarily the scariest thing imaginable. Director Tom Paton turns vampire movies on there head a little while showing complete respect to the genre and giving us something new. Fantastic performances from the leads that really pull you in and have you on the edge of your seat right till the conclusion. Great Flick... 5*s
