Disavowed: The Downfall
Mission: impossible - Ghost Protocal- is a good movie. Other critics told me that its the best movie out of the franchise, which im like why? Yes the plot is good, the stunts are good, the action is good and tom cruise is good. Other than that i agree with @Dean, @Erika and @Kevin Phillipson. The villian is non excisting, he's their but not really. The side charcters are just their. Simon Pegg is their for comedy, Jemery Renner is their for a side charcter and Paula Patton is their to look hot. Its a downfall, from 3, which is my favorite one and to me, in my opinion is the best one.
The plot: Blamed for a terrorist attack on the Kremlin, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the entire IMF agency are disavowed by the U.S. government, while the president initiates the Ghost Protocol. Forced to go "off the grid" -- left without resources or backup -- Hunt must somehow clear the agency's name and prevent another attack. Complicating matters even more, Ethan must undertake the impossible mission with a group of fellow IMF fugitives whose actual motives are suspect.
Hopefully 5 and 6 are better. Just have to wait and find out.

Back to basics
A cool addition to the series which surpasses the AVP films. This is more back to basics to what made the first film so enjoyable but with more Predators and more people to hunt. You only get to see a bit of the alien planet they are located on which was a surprise. However there are some cool fights and good action scenes, the SFX are pretty good. It's predictable but it will please those who liked the original film so much. The second best film to feature the Predator creature to date!

Poor sequel
Not bad for a straight to DVD release but no where near as good as the first film. It's on a much lower budget and it shows. It does follow on from the first, so you'll need to see that if you haven't already. It has a recognizable cast with Kiele Sanchez (A Perfect Getaway) replacing Melissa George from the first film. It has a few good bloody moments but descends into being another hunt the Vampires film and that has been done much better before. Not awful but not up to the levels of the first.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2514 KP) rated Evan Blessed (Constable Evans, #9) in Books

It's two weeks before Evan's wedding, and he's focusing on the family dynamics this is unleashing. Then a young woman goes missing, and Evan gets involved in the hunt. Can he find her and keep peace in his family? It's always nice to visit these characters. The plot did bog down a bit in the middle, but the characters noticed and commented on the lack of progress as well. And about that point, things picked up again and raced to the finish.

Where Are You, Wilbert? by Bárdur Oskarsson is a picture book about a small gray rat and her large gray friend, Wilbert. They are playing hide-and-seek. Wilbert is tough to find, so the rat asks a crocodile for help. Together, they hunt behind every tree they can see, and finally, the rat spots Wilbert. The illustrations are strange and lovely at the same time.
While I enjoyed the book, I did find the book a bit strange and hard to follow.
I received an ARC from Owlkids books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Suspense
Detectives McCabe and Savage, in the first of this series, are on the hunt for a sick individual, murdering young healthy women and removing their hearts. After they find the body of a young missing girl, they are informed another woman has gone missing already, and the clock starts ticking... they have a week to find her and taking the killer down.
Interesting read, like the characters but would like to see more character development and the partnership between McCabe and Savage... is it sexual, friendly... it’s hard to ascertain.
Well written and gripping, finished in 24 hours.
