A very good sequel to the first film. Just as bloody and violent as the first, maybe more so! There is plenty of action and it never really lets up. The way it is filmed especially the first attack in the house is raw and gritty and makes you feel you are there fighting for survival to! However the plot is a bit similar to most zombie films and obvious at times. The geography of London has changed a fair bit to taking minutes to get from east to central London if only! lol Overall a great thrill ride with plenty of action and memorable scenes, but you know what to expect by now.

A Romantic drama that seems to have been missed by most. Jennifer Love Hewitt and a few familiar English faces pop up in this. Set in London a man gets to relive a day in which things didn't work out between him and his girlfriend before she is in an accident. Will he be able to change the path of destiny and save her second time round? Quite similar but not quite as good as Sliding doors, which had the same type of plot and also set in London. If you like romantic films which deal with fate and destiny you will like this. Don't mistake it for a Rom-Com though, not much to laugh at here.

Milleen (47 KP) rated My Not So Perfect Life: A Novel in Books

Nov 14, 2018

This is a lovely light read. Katie has moved from Somerset and reinvented herself in London. Now her Instagram account shows a perfect existence in modern London but the reality is far less fun. Her indomitable boss Demeter has made her work life miserable and she shares a cheap flat with strange flatmates and a hellish commute to work. Life takes a turn and Katie seizes fresh opportunities to discover what she really wants, and needs, in her life. Kinsella is skilful at telling stories of our strange contemporary lives with humour, several situations make you laugh out loud. Not a heavy read but one that has great characters and a decent storyline.
