Intelligent science fiction
This film is a linguist's dream. Finally an intelligent sci-fi showing the importance of communication in understanding others. It's beautifully shot and it mixes a bit of a Nolan style mystery into it. It is slightly inconceivable at times but that's the premise of a science fiction film.

A much funnier and in my opinion best entry in the trilogy, Bruce Campbell shines here in this fish out of water dark fantasy and delivers some great one liners, Sam Raimi adds his trademark style with jumps and scares with the skeleton army being a animated highlight. "This is my boomstick"

A decent attempt at something different. An ok story line and plenty of action. It has a similar visual style as Sin City with nearly all CGI backgrounds and environments but tweaked slightly to give a comic book feel to it. Well worth checking out if you have missed it so far.

This book had a couple of bright points, and picked up a bit for me at the end, but I still found myself wincing as I was reading it. The story and writing style just didn't work for me, and I found the majority of the characters to be nothing but obnoxious.

Wonderful reading style.
I loved this book, it is very well written and had plenty of twists and turns. I wish the ending was a little different but the way this book is written you wont want to put it down.

1959 | Classics, Mystery

"I like the classics! I like a pretty eclectic mix actually. But if you want a great old movie, this is it. It’s in colour but it always feels like a black and white movie to me. It feels like a film with great history in it, and it’s got great style."
