Beautiful Boy was a frustrating movie to watch, and for once that's actually a compliment.

[BOMB] by [Steve Sheinkin] is the story of the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. It is broken into readable chunks and although it is very information heavy it is still interesting. As a YA nonfiction novel it is ok. The topic itself lends itself to being a little dry.

Ten year old Marty loves his brother Steve. But Steve has been acting very weird recently and Marty is about to reveal the shocking truth as to why...
Written from the perspective of Marty this is a well written and gruesome little novel of how situations can quickly escalate and spiral out of control. Fast paced, the darkest of humour and plenty of blood and gore keep this twisted story going at full pelt for its brief 137pages. Highly recommended for those that have a strong disposition and cast iron gut!

I am a big fan of the Steve Alten book series of the Meg. Now....when it comes to the movie....it was....entertaining at most. I saw it in 3D so maybe that’s why. Special effects were okay....nothing spectacular. I do feel that maybe if the movie were casted differently....my rating may be a little different. Wasn’t a big fan of the acting (if that is what we can call it)....

Ok so this is the third book in the exodus end series. I have read all of the sinners and exodus end books and have absolutely loved every single one. Although I found this book to be a little long, it is one of my favourite stories (plus the more time I get to read about exodus end and sinners the better). Steve and Roux take you on a beautiful, emotional and sexy ride of twists and turns and love and laughter, and personally I couldn’t get enough of their amazing story.
Absolutely loved this book and can’t wait for Dares story!

I'm starting to tire of the concept I think
Series three follows the established formula, of happiness, weird things happen, everyone gets involved, Steve gets a kicking while the kids hide, Hopper and Joyce save the day.
While the series continues to be atmospheric and full of nice 80s references, I really think I am starting to tire of the show. The fact that it is supposed to be centred around the kids is strong, and yet they get involved in so little of the action that it is a let-down. Imagine if in the Goonies the gang got to One-eyed Willie's booby traps only for Chunk's uncle to appear to get them through it, while they complain about snogging in braces.
Hopefully series 4 will be more interesting and mix things up a little.

Wonder Woman
THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS
Honestly, I don't understand why this movie is a big deal for feminists. I get that its Wonder Woman and its about a bad ass female. I just think that all the parts about a man justifying her actions are overlooked. Don't believe me? Think about it. Diana comes from an island where there are no men. She leaves the island to go with the first guy she ever meets. That night she makes out with him. Not all of this bothers me. (Except when she started making out with Steve I was a little peeved.) What gets me the most about this movie is that when Steve is killed, Diana goes crazy and starts to turn "evil". However, when she realizes he loved her, everything is fine again. She shouldn't have to realize this guy she just met loves her if this movie is suppose to be all about girl power and how you don't need a man.

Well written
Best DC movie since Dark Knight series
For once DC put a movie together that was well done all the way around. Story starts as Dianna was growing up watching the Amazon warriors train and hoping to learn their ways one day. We watch as she develops from a cute innocent little kid into a very innocent young woman. After rescuing Captain Steve from his plane crash Dianna sets out on a journey to stop Aries and bring the world to peace. Beautiful fight scenes and solid acting make this movie a great step in the right direction for DC!
