Odelia’s day of running errands come to an abrupt end when the attendants at the car wash pop her trunk and find a dead body there. Who was he in life? And why would someone leave him for Odelia to find?

From that simple premise comes another fun adventure for Odelia and the rest of the crew. The plots twists to some unexpected places. The characters are charming and wonderful as always. Add in a dash of wit and you’ve got another winner. I rest most of it in 24 hours, and I’m already anxious for Odelia’s next adventure.

A good action thriller that seems to have gone under the radar? A great cast, with a good story that will keep you guessing. Feels similar to the likes of the Siege, Body of lies etc due to the main themes in the story. The action scenes are very good. So if you enjoy a well made action/thriller this deserves a wider audience.
  
Paula Holliday thinks landing the job of bringing the gardens of the local mansion back to their former glory is a dream come true. That is until she finds a baby's body in the yard. The characters were flat and ran together. And the story progressed slowly.

Not too bad
Nor the best body story but not too bad. The acting was decent and the cinematography worked well. The storyline was interesting but the explanation for the 'ghost" and the ending were a little weak. The story moved along a little slower than I normally like but it turned out ok. It kept my attention and entertained well enough to say it's worth a watch.

This story focuses around this small neighbourhood with lots of strong characters, each with their own storyline to deal with. It feels like a lot, but once I had got my head round them all, this book drew me right in and I was hooked. It starts off with a body in a kitchen, then goes back and does a brilliant job of revealing the story, very slowly, by going back to the beginning of the timeline and working back through. The intermittent police reports from the day after the murder is an excellent addition, as it adds to the slow reveal as you start to realise who the body isn’t! It was a bit of a slow start, but once it got going the suspense, intrigue and twists are coming thick and fast right up until the very last page!

Another 80's action, comedy that often pops up on TV. Great idea of a mini space ship going inside your body to cure illnesses. After being injected into somene, wiith time running out and other crooks after the technology they go on the run to keep both of them alive.

Really good documentary from HBO on Andre the Giant. Doctors may say his heart failed because it couldn't keep up with his ever growing body size, but I feel like it was because it couldn't handle the huge amount of love he had in his heart, for wrestling and for life.

Dead Ringers (1988)
1988 | Drama, Horror, Mystery

"Jeremy Irons plays identical twin gynecologist womanizers. Despite this being a relatively straight story by Cronenberg’s standards, his baroque obsession with body modification is not lost here—the film features a few particularly disconcerting props related to surgery that are true art pieces and worth the price of admission alone."

"Wildness and control are recurring themes in Phillips’s brilliant poems, and they play out too in his winding, meticulous, everywhere self-interrogating syntax. He is our metaphysical poet, using the desiring, sexual body to ask poetry’s eternal questions in distinctively contemporary ways"
