<i>Stolen</i> was violent, bloody, twisted, and I loved it! Elena is a great character and the book is written with an easy style and some dry humor thrown in for good measure. Sure, it was slow-starting and there were some parts that were drawn out too long, but I enjoyed the ride when it picked up. I can't wait to get to Kelley Armstrong's other books.

I really liked Deadpool, it was good to see an adult superhero movie and the humour was excellent. Unfortunately, for me, this just wasn't as good. It was similar to the first film in character and style, maybe that was the problem. It just seemed like more of the same but not as good, they seemed to me to be trying too hard to make it work on too many levels.

another good read from this author, absolutely love her style of writing. the story flows effortlessly. I was totally gripped till the end. all the characters work really well together and I really love how characters from the other books merge into the story with no effort. can not wait for the next one. j.kenner has done a fantastic job again.
highly recommended

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!

Not what I was expecting! A great performance by Tom Hardy as the title character, but the monologue style delivery for the majority of the film was quite odd and bizarre at times, although that fits the character well. Only seems to focus on a few key moments of all his time in prison, with very few facts or dates? Could have been a lot better I think.

I can barely remember the first Dredd film with Stallone in it. This felt more violent and gritty, which is what they aimed for. The action is ok and it has a slick visual style to it, it just felt a bit too simple in terms of plot for a big film. It's very similar to The Raid in terms of plot as well, and I actually liked that more.

Me too. I thought it was very good. Better than the Stallone version.

I think I saw The Raid first which was amazing and this was very similar in terms of plot.

Lots of fun!
One of my favorite Game Cube games was Star Fox Adventures.

Certainly very Legend of Zelda in style and gameplay with story, fighting and puzzle type quests. Not very much flying like in other Star Fox games. This one focused more on Fox out of his ship conquering quests.

There was enough variety to keep me entertained for several playthoughs.

I suspect the forthcoming Bond film will wish it could self-destruct in five seconds after seeing Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) #Review
The unstoppable Tom Cruise, Movie Star(TM) is back in 2018’s best action movie bar none. “Fallout” completes a “Fast & Furious”-style transformation of the franchise and leaves its famously diminutive leading man head and shoulders above the rest of the action competition...

Dragged Out
I'm not a fan of this writing style. The story is dragged out causing even the interesting parts to become monotonous and boring. While a couple of the characters were interesting the majority of them did not stand out. The majority of the book follows the same pattern of being mildly interesting, but never enough to stand out and be engaging. This book belongs on a shelf somewhere.
