A little bland and clinical, more for hardcore sci-fi fans
I struggled with this book, mainly for its mechanical nature and rather bland storyline. For hard-core fans of 2001: Space Odyssey, this may be more of an interest given it's the same writer, but for a sci-fi rookie, it was like reading an engineering manual as they clinically detail the climate and condition of this astral being named Rama. And not much else happens apart from them walking across this horizon. It may require reading the entire series of books to see the full picture, but as a stand-alone book, it doesn't seem to work.

Decent crime thriller
One of the films I missed as it didn't get a long release at the cinema in the UK. Naomie Harris plays a rookie cop in a rundown area of New Orleans. With corrupt cops and gangs working together in the supply of drugs. Soon she is hunted by both through the neighborhood after capturing a murder by the corrupt cops on her bodycam.
Overall it was an enjoyable watch, a little slow at the start and middle section. It had quite a low budget feel to it despite some big cast names. Worth a watch but far from the better films with a similar plotline. @21 Bridges (2019) is one example that had more action.

A bit of a mindscrew
I wasn't sure what to expect with this slightly low budget horror, but it is surprising on a few fronts. For one, it's a psychological horror and really messes with your mind watching it.

The story, although lacking, consists of a rookie police officer Juliana Harkavy (Walking Dead) starting her first shift at an empty police station with a horrific back story. A murderous cult leader and his two followers are said to have killed themselves inside the premises, leading to some disturbing occurrences. Will she or will she not make it?

The second surprising front was the fact it becomes increasingly claustrophobic watching it. The third is the ending. For an hour and a half film, it's not a bad watch.
