More arty than your typical roman storyline (1 more)
Interesting view of early Britain from the romans perspective
Easy storyline, strong themes of family honour and loyalty.
Thought this would be quite a dull story but turned out to be quite interesting. Its quite a relaxed watch and toes the line between the romans and the early britons perspective of history.
Has strong themes of family honour and loyalty. A decent film but not one I would probably watch again.

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
I kinda liked how this one ended. A horribly nice death for a character who was kinda silly and pointless anyway. Their whole arc felt jarring, at even at the end, when we know their single character trait they've been given, it felt really strange for the character to act the way they did.
Huuuuuuuh... 4 more books...

WOW STOP THE PRESSES GUYS THE BAUDELAIRS DID SOMETHING ON THEIR OWN!!! Something that truly wasn't just a reaction to something happening in their lives. It was- get this - a <i>decision</i>!!! A <i>DECISION</i> guys!!! The Baudelairs are human after all, rejoice!

This is the book that broke the camels back. I started to hate this series from here on. If book 5 got your hopes up for something special, prepare for them to be ground into the mud. It's the same damn book. They all are. He just changes the amount of surrealism sprinkles he uses for each book.

Sweet timekiller
I haven't read the book so went in with an open mind as it was recommended by Netflix.
Definitely an enjoyable watch but heavily predictable.
Watch if you're looking for a feelgood girly movie to kill some time.
Also personally a little conflicted as Lara Jean was fab but didn't believe Janel Parrish as her sister and although she's a great actor it felt as if she was cast just to raise the profile of the movie.

Wasn't in a rush watch this at first as he's not a character that I've come across in my time of being a marvel fan. This was a pleasant surprise when watched this as its gripped me all throughout the film great graphics and storyline. Would of liked seen more about his abilities seen more but that's just my opinion. Will say this is a must watch for marvel fans and scifi

Better than expected
I was apprehensive to watch this one as Han Solo is my favorite Star Wars character. I thought it would not be done very well. I was pleasantly surprised. While not the best Star Wars movie out there, it holds it's own and does justice to the characters it portrays. With plenty of action, cool effects and a decent "origins" storyline this movie didn't disappoint me. Fun for the whole family and a film any fan of the franchise should enjoy. Worth a watch.

Up there with the rest 9/10
For someone who has only ever watched the first three star wars movies from way back when and never seen any of the new ones, watching this was a first for me. But after getting some info that may be needed to watch this film from my husband I actually really enjoyed this film.
I love films that show the back stories of characters and I feel this did it really well.
May watch again some time soon.

Not bad
This one came up on a list of if thrillers to watch so I checked it out. It actually surprised me. The description doesn't do it justice. Started out a little slow but it took some turns and twists that weren't expected. Great story all around with very good performance by Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick(both good actresses). The cinematography was well done, too. If you're into mystery/thrillers with a touch of comedy thrown in, you'll enjoy this movie. Worth a watch!

Wow. Pixar once again delivers a tear-jerker that is a fun, exciting family film. Ever since I saw the trailer, I knew that I wanted to watch this film. It just looked too good to pass up. And I was not wrong. Pixar delivered so hard with this movie. Props to Scanlon for incorporating a personal piece of his own life in this film. Also, Chris Pratt and Tom Holland both killed it in their roles in this film. I absolutely will watch this again!
