The characters are on the move in the second book of [The EMP]. Also we meet a new character, John, Max's estranged brother. The author gives each character their own voice by giving each chapter a different character. I love when authors do this because it give you as a reader a wider range of points of view and perspectives to create you own visuals of the story. On to book three.

A great film with great actors and well directed. I watched the extended edition and it flew by for me despite being close to 3 hours long. It's not as violent or graphic as the likes of Casino, Goodfellas but it is as equally as immersing as those gangster films. The fact it is based on a true story makes it even more interesting. If you like gangster or mafia films you'll love this!

A quick kayak trip down the river behind his shop leads to Harrison finding the body of his ex-girlfriend. With the sheriff determined it was suicide, Harrison sets out to prove it was murder. As much as I love Harrison, the sub-plots took over the story and slowed the book down overall.

Beautiful depiction of Mexican culture
Contains spoilers, click to show
The animation in this movie is beautiful. I love the use of color! The story is cute, if predictable. The music is upbeat and catchy. There were a few things that bothered me. Why does the whole family go by the last name Rivera? Shouldn’t the family branches have taken the men’s last names? Also why doesn’t De La Cruz know that Miguel is not his great-great-grandson?

Archer does a great job of making being a nerd cool. She is a master of creating a sweet love story between girls you would think would be total social opposites. This book, like others I have read by Archer, is YA/teen friendly so it can be suggested to those young girls just coming out. In fact both main characters deal with questions about their sexuality throughout most of the book.

Great Slasher series
Another good Slasher series with a different story and cast from the first. Definitely one Slasher fans will love. It's dark, violent and very gory for a TV series. There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot with a good whodunit element as well. With so few decent films of the genre around lately it's great to find an 8 part series that does it so well.

Not What I Expected
I was really excited to see the movie, I guess I didn't realize it was a musical. This would have been wonderful without the music. The story line is amazing and it explained so much about the beginning of the circus. It's not horrible, but you do have to sit through a lot of singing.

I wish I could have loved this film more. I am a massive Harry Potter fan. I love the creatures and magic in this film but I felt there was no real story except for creature escapes, causes some havoc, creature is recaptured, repeat with different creature. And it really annoyed me how Newt Scamander doesn't look anyone in the eye, just looks out from under his fringe...really triggered me! Hehe

This, I felt, is really a movie of two parts: we have the CGI and action portions of the movie (set in the future, and largely featuring cyborgs), unfortunately tied to a somewhat lacklustre 'Young Adult' love story.
Oh, and if anybody ever wants a perfect example of 'Chekov's gun' (i.e. introduce a plot element early on that must go off later on) look no further than this: the 'Battle Ball' rollerball elements.
