As its jennifer love hewitts birthday i still love this film after 20 years four teenagers accidently hit a man on the road and decided to dump the body the somewhere but 12 months later they start receiving messeges saying i know what u did last summer. Great young cast led by jennifer love hewitt and sarah michelle gellar the movie keeps you guessing as whos the fisherman. Any film that includes hush by kula shaker on the soundtrack is cool

Sometimes the trouble is that hearing a film is very good gives you high expectations, that's what happened with me this time and I have to say I was left disappointed. I felt this film was ok, I did like a lot of the humour but nothing really stood out for me and I wouldn't want to watch it again. I raved about it to my husband saying how it was supposed to be REALLY funny and REALLY good but he didn't think much of it either.

When the 10th anniversary edition of Twilight was announced, I wasn't really interested. I was super into it before the movies, but reading it now, you see all the editing mistakes.
Though, when it was revealed a gender-bending version of Twilight was going to be included, I knew I had to read that clusterf***. It is so completely ridiculous, what were those names?? I loved every lame-o moment of it. Also, she did get to fix all of her wonky mistakes, which I appreciated.

Rocketman was good. Wasn't what I was expecting, but not in a bad way. If you're expecting a Bohemian Rhapsody type of movie, you should know it's not. It was shot more in the style of Across the Universe, which is one of my favorite musical movies. They did a great job of incorporating his songs to associate to different parts of his life and helping in telling his story. If you're a fan of Elton John and musicals, then I think you'll enjoy it.

Jurassic Park was the first film I ever loved, and sparked my love of cinema. So this film had a lot to live up to for me, and you know what, it was not bad. A bit heavy on the CGI in places, but did bring back the practical effects to create that element of fear you just can’t get from CG. The way the suspense is built up around the Indominus is very good, and brought back that same filling of tension where you find you are actually holding you breath and seat, just a little.
Characters and plot did suffer a little from that repetitive remake syndrome, see also Star Wars the Force Awakens, where the film tries so hard to recreate the love of the original, it just repeats everything.
Two kids, one young and cute, the other a been of a moody teen. A large escaped Dino, which should have been the main attraction. A knowledgeable-about-Dixon’s man and his almost-a-not-sexist-but-still-a-steriorypical-woman love interest out to save the kids, and themselves as things emulate. An overly complacent billionaire, ignorant to the potential danger.
Which film am I talking about....
That said, if what you want is a trip back to your youth and the thrill of seeing dinosaurs on screen, or just some resurrected reptile based mayhem, it’s a great film, and well worth a watch.

WOW! Dean Murray did warn me on my blog review of Ambushed that this one might blow my mind. He knew what he was talking about as it did! At the beginning, Alec and Adri still aren't speaking following their separation at the end of the last book. Carson is training Alec and Adri is still trying to help Taggart in every way she can apart from killing.
We spend time with different characters in this book as it moves forward. Addison, James' mum, makes a discovery which may just put our Sanctuary pack in danger but she is one of theirs - will they go ahead anyway? You know the answer is yes but how it is written will keep you on edge for every moment. There is a lot of action in this book, as well as long-awaited outcomes and new revelations. I won't give anything away by mentioning specifics but suffice it to say, if you have read the first three Dark Reflections books then I honestly can't see how you won't love this instalment.
This book had me reading faster and faster the closer to the end it got while at the same time, I was desperately hoping that it would never end. Unfortunately for me, it did end and what an ending it was. Now I just need to (im)patiently wait for the next one.
Good one, Dean, brilliant once again.

What would you do if you learned your husband but he died in a state he wasn't supposed to be in? What if you learned he was having an affair and he died with his mistress in an accident?
This book explores those two questions!!!
Jacks learns of her husband's secret affair when she gets a phone from Maui police telling her there had been an automobile accident and her husband James as died, but he wasn't alone. Then all of a sudden Nick pops up at her door, telling her that Danni was his fiancé and she is the woman that Jacks' husband was having an affair with.
Jacks is now coping with this secret!!! How is she going to handle it? How far will she go to uncover the answers to so many questions she has?
Well Nick decides that he and Jacks should take a trip to Maui and find out for themselves what the two were doing there!! Jacks agrees to go and the story starts to unfold!! What will they discover? What other secrets did James, Danni, Jacks and Nick have? And what twist at the end will leave you going OMG?
Guess you will have to read the book to find out!!!
The book was well written … It goes from Jacks before her husbands death to Jacks after the death as well as Danni's perspective which made the book intriguing. However, it was slow at times and because it wasn't the typical thriller I am used to, it didn't keep my interest until about midway. I couldn't understand how this was a thriller until the very end. It felt more like a chic lit mystery up until that point which is why I gave it 3 stars.

Loved reading this book. I was in a bit of a reading slump and thought I would give it a go. I've been meaning to read it for a while not so I thought what the heck? I'm so glad I did. It really put me in the Christmas Spirit and I liked the message it gave about spreading love and kindness. Not to mention I love Muppet's Christmas Carol and was so happy to find out how similar the film is to the book- minus puppet dolls.

Not what i Expected
A dark and gritty movie set in 19th Century London. Its basically a murder hunt with a lot of clever plot twists and side stories. The central 'detective' character is played by the brilliant Bill Nighy and it is he who must ascertain whether Olivia Cooke's character had good cause to murder her husband or whether she did murder him at all. It flows very well and you will find yourself drawn into the main characters life which is far from flawless. Well worth a watch if you enjoyed Michael Caine's Jack the Ripper.
saheffernan (157 KP) rated Anger Is a Gift in Books
Jan 11, 2019
At the beginning of this book I was not at all connected with the main character. I could never imagine what he had experienced but he felt like he was a bit whiny (for lack of a better word) and lacked drive and direction. I believe that to be on purpose as the story continues and there is another tragedy Moss comes into his own. If you had told me I would cry for these characters by the end I certainly wouldn't have believed you, but cry I did. This story is important and the message that anger when wielded correctly is incredibly powerful.
