Instantly forgettable
I hadnt really heard of this film and I guess now I know why. It's described as a rom-com but it's far from funny and the romance is a bit hit and miss too.
I was expecting something pretty funny but instead the jokes were few and far between. It has a good cast but they're wasted on such a serious and cliched script and plot. You can tell too that its very low budgey. It's all a bit cringey and although it wasn't quite bad enough to turn off, its instantly forgettable and not one I'd watch again. Shame as I was hoping it'd be more of an undiscovered gem.

Wow!
Contains spoilers, click to show
Chernobyl is a great watch, especially as it's a true story about a nuclear power plant in Ukraine in the 80s.
Its gripping from the minute you watch start watching it, you can just tell something is going to go wrong and when it does, it's many people pay the price with their lives all because of a very stubborn man and his decisions to carry out test that came be done properly.
Chernobyl the city has to be abandoned straight away and still remains radioactive to this day.
It's not just about the explosion but how so many was affected and the trail when finding out who was to blame.

Underwhelming
Honestly with the plot of the book they could have took it so much further. for one the characters just seemed so 2D and so I couldn't emphasise with them at all.
Thestart was promising but even then to much of what was happening was given away. Yes I know that a lot of authors use the technique of letting the reader know before the characters do but in this book it was just overused.
It is a shame because the idea of the book was good and you can tell the author has the right imagination for it but they fail in implementing it at least in this case.

Not many people I know have seen this so I tell everyone to give it a go.
A kids film, completely off the radar, as it's not branded (not pixar or disney etc) it's a German, Danish and Irish creation, about 3 children that take get into all sorts of problems. It bombed at the box office but it definitely didn't deserve the bad press, it's about family, loyalty, the importance of intelligence and a hint of magic.
It has funny, scary (for young kids anyway) , tense, lovable scenes that everyone can enjoy.

David McK (3372 KP) rated The Lost Outlaw (Jack Lark #8) in Books
Apr 12, 2020
8th entry in Paul Fraser Collard's 'Jack Lark' series - originally dubbed as The Talented Mr Ripley meets Sharpe - and, this time, we're in Wild West territory with Jack joining a cotton convoy down from the Southern US States into Mexico.
Jack remains as compelling an protagonist as ever, having now fought on both sides of the American Civil War and throughout the British colonies (the series started in Alma), although now his past is beginning to tell - he is no longer as cocksure, as certain of himself as before and is suffering from nightmares over all he has witnessed.
And, yes, the finale does very much resemble Rorke's Drift - even the author states as much!
