A study in relationships
A film most seem to love or hate. I'm right down the middle. It is a good film, well made and the scenes in and around Tokyo are well shot. It's basically about a friendship between unlikely people in an unlikely place. A bit slow for some, but if you like films about human character and different personalities you will like this.

2009 | Comedy, Drama
This movie was Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, and she did a really good job. The small, po-dunk town was portrayed honestly and well. The roller derby action was shot so well, and it happened to take place in my home town, so I'm partial.
Ellen Page was great as the main character, she was pitch perfect. This is also only one of two movies I can stand Kristen Wiig in, which is really saying something.

Beautifully made
A movie well made. The cast fit the characters well. There is romance, mystery, drama, and a lot of music. Song lyrics and voices are on point. As for acting, actors did an amazing job. Almost everything happens in the opera house and beneath it, which is not bad as it sounds. The building is beautifully decorated, and all it does is make you want to explore every room and every corner.

This is the first book in the series and what a fab start it is. This is a story about two broken people trying to mend. This story is heart breaking as well as beautiful. The characters are fab and work well within the story. Its a bit slow in the beginning but stick with it, it is definitely worth it. I cant wait to read book 2.

enjoyed this book, really like that it was both characters point of view. the story flows really well and when the characters do meet it is perfectly fitted within the story. the ending is a cliff hanger, so have book two ready. it is a well written book and was nice to read a book where the man isn't a billionaire bad boy. would definitely recommend to others.

This was one of my favorite stories growing up. I loved the movie as well. I loved reading it again it's a very emotional story and teaches children as well as adults that you should always be kind and help those who need to be helped. Even in your worst time there can be someone in a worst situation than you. I plan on reading it to my kids when and if I can eventually have them.

A great OTT action, disaster film on a grand scale. The budget must have been huge, the SFX alone are very good and the biggest pull of the film. So very well done, you'll feel like you're on a roller coaster ride the whole time. Very similar to all the other big blockbuster films of Emmerich, The day after tomorrow and Independence day and this sticks to the same formula. Good cast to, well worth checking out!

If you've read any Danny Wallace then you should already know you're in for a treat! This is actually my favourite ..it's a proper laugh out loud comedy..but tragic too..and completely inappropriate stalker type behaviour!
If you love sarcastic self demeaning tragedies then you'll love it!
  
Kate Shugak and Liam Campbell, in one book! Kate and Mutt, outside the Park! This is a fun addition to both series, well worth reading. I don't think it would work as well for someone new to either one, because references to former characters would go over their heads. For a fan of both series, like me, it's a delightful treat. There is a very sad bit near the end, but I can't say more without getting into spoilers.
