I wasn't sure about this one at first because I have seen a lot of interviews where Rose McGowan comes across very strong, stern and cold... but reading this and understanding her full story and what she has been through, was a huge eye opener. You must truly be brave to stand up and speak against the bugs of Hollywood and do what she did.

Book Rating
Jennifer Mathieu has written a strong book featuring a quiet girl, Vivian and her aversion to bullies. One day Viv, cannot put up with it anymore and takes it upon herself to make a stand, starting with a ‘zine she creates herself and distributes anonymously. It’s a small step with a big effect, because it doesn’t take long for things to snowball and soon Moxie becomes an empowering voice to be heard! And I’m not just saying fictional characters here. Every young girl should read this awesome, inspiring and captivating read!

Good for all of you who love the whole ‘girl power’ attitude, and like books which inspire and encourage you in real life to be the person you should be and stand up for yourself. For fledgling feminists everywhere! A fast-paced, bad-ass read full of action and great characterisation. Join the Moxie Movement! Have your say!

Good things do happen in 3's, and this ones a charm.
The amazing choreography that made the first two movies stand out has been ramped up to 11 with a story though not too complex has been executed with such style.
These types of movies are suited to Keanu and he is so great at it that he has made it difficult for others to replicate, long live the boogeyman!

Classic Greg
The poster of him in the lake for this tour is amazing on it's own. If you enjoyed Greg on taskmater and you haven't watched his stand up this is a good place to start. The material was all new at the time and not things he had shared on talk shows or other programmes.

Hong Kong/Thai action thriller
The fight scenes in this film are up there with some of the best in any film made. It's let down by some cheesy bad guys with one liners who stand there and send the lackies in, but other than that this Hong Kong thriller set in Thailand is a heck of a fun action packed ride.

Lacklustre sequel that has lost its heart.
Howard again seems to stand about adding zero value to the narrative, thankfully we dont get as many close ups of her shoes this time.
The third act picks up a little as the dino auction scenes were quite entertaining, but this isnt enough to plaster over the holes in the plot and the overuse of CGI, worth a watch but nothing special.
