When I saw this book was under the Humour tag I opened with fingers crossed that it would be more tongue-in-cheek girl-power humour, than towards the radical side. I wasn’t wrong.

Some lovely historical snippets are strewn between a good mixture of easy to follow craft projects. I nearly wee’d laughing at the Tree Decorations and the “Monster” Pouch.

I haven't read the book so cannot compare but when I saw that it was an adaptation from a Jo Nesbo book I was hopeful it was going to be good. The start of the film piqued my interest but it was downhill from thereon. I found it confusing and guessed who the killer would turn out to be. Disappointing.

Absolutely action packed film! So well done, incredible casting & interesting plot. The transitions between scenes and just during fight scenes themselves are so well done & incredibly impressive. A kind of collision of two different spy worlds was interestingly done too & made for a nice comparison & means a 3rd film can always be made (which I think I saw it is being made!)

Great coming of age movie. Modern day humor. (0 more)

Do you like coming of age movies?
Ever wish there was more humor... maybe that it was set in modern day, but with an eighties nostalgic feel?
Take that and make it NOT family friendly, and you've got Good Boys. Just saw an early screening of it and it was great!

It's fair to say that this is an absolute gem if your from the right generation. Younger audiences wont and dont appreciate this classic. For those of you who saw this as a youngster when it was first released I'm sure it's one of your favourites. Far fetched in places and certainly corny in places but thoroughly enjoyable.

Rolling Stone's 491st greatest album of all time
This was quite a pleasant surprise, a good selection of blues numbers, except the final song which was more like Louis Armstrong.
Crosscut Saw reminded me of the theme tune to the sitcom Bottom, and I was a little surprised that Danzig had covered Albert King's The Hunter, I had thought it was his original.

Watched today on Amazon prime it wasn't bad movie I've seen worser movies based on old TV shows and I've actually seen the original TV show few times during the eighties and this movie is a lot darker bit like saw in places. The acting was okay could have done with some more gore anyway good couple of hours viewing

"I’m in a total John Ford mood. I saw The Searchers again on Turner Classic Movies the other night and I just said, “Oh, I gotta go and see John Ford’s movies, like all over again.” The Searchers is such an obvious choice because everyone knows that one. I’m gonna put down They Were Expendable, which was a John Ford Movie…"

"I first saw this movie when I was a little girl. I was so drawn to Amy Irving, her personal style in this film. I loved this story of a progressive, intelligent, Jewish New Yorker who was so bonded to her grandmother, but not necessarily to her cultural traditions. And what a great romance! There is nothing else like this movie."

"I saw this movie at Film Forum when I was in college. I remember watching all three hours of it with my mouth open. It fueled my interest in so many things: monks, bells, medieval Russia, structuring movies and plays like novels . . . I was taking a really dumb screenwriting class at the time, and this contradicted everything I had just been taught."
