Easter eggs
Just seen and I'm glad I did been wanting to see this for ages. As I've been a fan of Zachary Levi since he was on chuck. His character Shazam reminds me alot of chuck two different people learnly how to use their powers for good. Mark strong plays the villian in his usual stlye. Would I recommend this movie definitely

Witty Dialogue
Strong support cast
It is intriguing to see how the authorities would use the information they have once the Enigma has been cracked, in this classic ‘race against time’ tale.
The cast was great with the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley and Mark Strong amongst other great actors!

A tedious lifeless film
Contains spoilers, click to show
This crime drama based which is based on a real life incident had the potential to be really good but it turned out to be a dull and boring.A good cast in ethan hawke,mark strong and noomi rapace were wasted.
We start off with kaj (hawke) holding up a bank in Stockholm with the intention of getting his friend gunnar (strong) out of prison.Kaj turns out to be pretty rubbish at being a robber and the hostages (mainly rapace) end up having to help them out and with this we eventually find out how the phrase "stockholm syndrome" came about.

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Dead Sexy Dragon (Dragon Heat, #1) in Books
Sep 5, 2019
This started quite strong and I was enjoying it but then at the 50% mark when the sex started I...got bored. I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but sex scenes are annoying me.
Anyway, I liked the plot, though the thing with Cora was a bit of a surprise (I wont spoilt it by mentioning it in my review) near the end.
With it being short (finishes around the 85% mark) there wasn't that much to it, but it was good for a short read. And it being a paranormal romance with a dragon shifter makes it slightly different to all the others out there.

Shazam!!
I thought this movie was very good. But for a superhero movie I felt like it had more foul language and scary parts than your average hero film. I wouldn't reccomend bringing younger kids if they get scared easily. I did enjoy the humorous parts, and the part of the sidekick played by Jack Dylan Grazer was great. The writing was good, and Mark Strong as the villain is always a good choice.

Story
Writing
Fresh, original, well written possibly the best thing on Netflix
the the trailer for this show looked overly cheesy shockingly campy and awfully teeny...
It’s all those things and so much more, god damn I’m hooked on this show. The writing is so so clever and it plays to all of its strong suits hitting every single beat and mark with such gleeful pleasure. Leaving me one hell of a satisfied viewer.
Confirm that second season right now Netflix

More comedy than action hero
Slightly odd quirky superhero film. I don't know much about comics, so not heard of this character before. This kinda feels like a PG-13 of @Kick-Ass (2010) as a young boy is granted an alter-ego superhero character. Complete with Mark Strong again as the villan. The first half of the film was more fun and enjoyable. It panders out pretty much how you would expect. Fun while it lasts if nothing memorable.

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>My Thoughts</strong></span>
<span style="color: #993300;"><strong> Ms. Gray is back with another hit in the Amish Of Hart County series! She never fails to grip me wholly and keep me in the center of the story. This book, just like <a href="http://cafinatedreads.com/pict-review-her-secret-by-shelley-shepard-gray/">Her Secret</a>, was an instant gripper for me.</strong></span>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Once again, the characters were captivating for me. I loved Mark and Waneta both. Mark's character really tugged at me the most. I can't imagine the pain that he endured through life. The things he dealt with in life, you don't imagine being a part of an Amish novel, but it was and it really made it that much more gripping. Oh to be there! I would go in mama mode on him and hug him big! Waneta's character, well, she was a little too judgy at times, but seeing God work on her, really made me love her that much more.</strong></span>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>This book is intriguing, emotional, and gripping. It is not a sweet Amish romance, but it is a wonderful Amish novel in a series that will steal your heart, just the same. You will go through the roller coaster ride of ups and downs as you fall in love with each character, as you feel each characters emotions,as they seek forgiveness,and the pain that they go through of letting go of the past. Anything less than a 4.5 star review will not do this book justice.</strong></span>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>I definitely recommend this book to all Amish fiction lovers, but be warned. It is not a light hearted read. And, I recommend reading book 1 first as it will make the experience of this series more fulfulling. I can't wait to read the next book Ms. Gray has for us!</strong></span>
