Interesting storyline and good acting by the beautiful ScarJo but, otherwise just an OK movie
Interesting storyline and good acting by the beautiful ScarJo but, otherwise just an OK movie
Amy-Faye is coordinating a celebration of Gothic novels for the local bookstore, culminating in a dance that night. The night ends in tragedy when a dead body is found – the body of a stranger. Amy-Faye had seen the victim during the events earlier in the day. Who was he? Why would someone kill him? And can the Readaholics’s latest read, Rebecca, offer some clues to the modern crime?
It is wonderful to be back in the presents of this group of mystery lovers. All five of the women are great and contribute in their own ways to the plot. The mystery is strong with some good twists and surprises before we reach the logical and satisfying ending. I hadn’t read Rebecca before I picked up this book, but that didn’t hamper my enjoyment at all.
NOTE: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Contains spoilers, click to show
A sad, desperate attempt to wring one last film (we hope) out of what was once a great movie premise. I admit I didn't quite see the twist coming, but knew there would be one, and found that aspect reasonably clever.
But overall this film was full of plot-holes, the acting was atrocious, the ending made no sense and the games have lost the character of those in the original films.
A number of things just kept annoying me and took me right out of the film (one minute Logan is apologising to his daughter and her babysitter for another late night, the next he is heading to the pub?!, Logan takes the bullet out of Edgar's body - but Edgar had been in a coma for days, why was the bullet not taken out of his body while he was in hospital?!, along with the usual horror movie illogical actions trope).
This film added nothing to the Saw series, if anything it urinates over its corpse, and added nothing to my life.

Little Ray Of Sunshine (41 KP) rated Dumplin' (2018) in Movies
Jan 9, 2019
Dumplin' is a must watch film of 2019
Wow, this film made me cry as you rooting for WillowDean Dickson nicknamed Dumplin' to achieve her goal to win the beauty pageant. This film shows you that if you put your mind to it you can do it. Also if you plus size you can still be worth in beauty and fashion. I feel Danielle Macdonald (plays Dumplin') role in this film will take her on to amazing films. I love how this shows all girls that you can feel body positivity any size. It makes me feel that I need to proud of my body I was born in.
It's worth the watch.

Mar 9, 2018
Meg and Michael are hosting an extreme coquette tournament on their property when Meg stumbles across a body half hidden under a bush. Not quite as funny as previous entries in the series, but the mystery is strong.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated WhatsApp Messenger in Apps

Best messaging app
The vast amount of WhatsApp users means it is really easy to keep in touch with people from across the world! Its no-nonsense format means it simple to access, without having to go through a labyrinth to get to the main messaging body. The group system is fantastic, and the mute button - even more so. And there's no problems with sending videos, images, audio and documents.
No muss, no fuss - a grown up service.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated Caught in the Middle in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Merry is a reporter in a small Pennsylvania town. One night, she arrives home to find a body in her trunk. Which means the killer starts coming after her. I loved this book just as much as the first time around. The Christian aspect is handled well, the story moves quickly, and the characters are lovable.
