Lyndsey Gollogly (2893 KP) rated City of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments, #2) in Books
Sep 29, 2019
Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil — and also her father.
To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings — and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?
In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.
I am enjoying the books more than the tv series. I find myself getting frustrated at Clary,Jace and Simon even without knowing some of the outcome. I love having a visual reference for the characters taken from both the TV series and the film to fit in as im reading. Highly recommend the books I find them a lot better than both film and TV. On to Book 3!

I was a little wary at first this was going to be too 'teen' for me. Once a chapter in I was hooked and could not put it down (read within a day) This plot was very interesting, easily flowed. The characters were well rounded and likeable. Especially the character Nate.
As a big fan of 80s movies, This did pretty much read as a modern, darker version of The breakfast Club. If that was the intent it was done well. By the end of the book I didn't want it to end. It is highly adaptable for a tv series or movie and I would love to see one.

Discovered this on Amazon Prime and hadn't heard of it before now. There is only one season consisting of six episodes and yes I did binge watch them in one day. Martin Shaw is the main character playing a priest who carries out exorcisms. The story does run through all six episodes and it does finish at the end of episode six. Not sure how season two would be played out as the story did finish. You don't get all the special effects in today's films and TV series but it is still compelling and makes you think. Also what lady can resist Martin Shaw.

Finding its feet, worth a watch
I remember loving Buffy when I watched it on TV, I was 15ish then. I recently rewatched this, I still liked it, although it does have its flaws. The characters can be annoying but this is balanced with a really good idea. Joss Whedon has created a fantastic world, it truly is amazing. This is the first season, having already watched the others I already know that it just keeps getting better and the characters less annoying. If you are new to Buffy, keep watching, the series develops a depth but it takes a couple of seasons.
James Koppert (2698 KP) rated This Is England (2007) in Movies
Dec 3, 2019 (Updated Dec 3, 2019)
British classic
Unless it's a comedy, British films often don't get the recognition they deserve. This did. Friends in the State's were messeging me saying they have seen it.
The unscripted acting was warm when it needed to be and tense when it needed to be. It shine a light on Thatcher's Britain, divided and angry, a but like today. It's not always easy to watch but at the same time there is recognition of anyone who lived through this period.
So good it spawned a TV series, This Is England is one of Britain's best.

Not too bad
I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.

Jonah's point of view is better than his brother (1 more)
Great story line
This one is written from a different brothers perspective and he is much more likeable I think. I am so gripped with the storyline that I hope that it doesn't fall flat! I am putting up with all these crap sex scenes just to find out what happens in the end!
All these books seem to cut off at the end too, I understand that you need to leave a slight cliff hanger to encourage the reader to continue the series but this is more like a TV episode than a full book
