Fun Adventure
Another film that seemed to pop out of no where. A light hearted comedy adventure film. In a similar mould to @Romancing the Stone (1984) The cast is very good, Daniel Radcliffe seems to have reprised his role from Now you see me 2 as a crazy rich villian in a suit after some ancient treasure in a lost city. So he kidnaps an author of a romance, action book believing her research could hold a clue.
It's pretty silly stuff but it definitely leans more towards the comedy side than anything else and thankfully is genuinely funny and has a a witty script. So if you are looking for a laugh with some funny action scenes thrown in, check this out.

Fun and fast paced
As the first in five this book is a great introduction to the series, with a continued series of another 5 books released as well. I absolutely loved these books and the characters, especially in the second series despite being older than the target demographic. Highly recommend the series if you are into action and adventure books with quick humor and a dash of romance subplot.

What a fantastic book! It is well written with a great plot and characters. This book is full of action, adventure, magic and romance. It is fast paced and I couldn't put it down. Gia is a great main character she is strong, smart and witty but she is also practical. Drake is very creative I love the whole book jumping concept. Drake's world building is slowly and beautifully done. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

Oldie but a goodie
Ok lord of the rings, I haven't watched in years but seem to be working through my dvds and figured why not.
A fantasy tale of a young hobbit who's been left a ring that he must destroy in the fires of Mordor, with only the nine, sauron and orcs standing in his way, but with the help with an odd team and a long deadly travel he completes his quest. This film from the first all the way through to the hobbit battle of the five army's are full of action adventure even a bit of romance. Definitely worth the watch if you haven't don't so already!

Lady Renegade is a story filled with action, adventure, and romance. I liked that this book fleshed out the world and the cast of characters more than the first, helping me to build a better understanding of the world that these characters inhabit and their relationships with one another. It was also refreshing that the plot focused on more than just love and lust!
I also liked the author's decision to include a blind main character - something that I have never encountered before in a romance novel. Wren is a strong, feisty, independent lady, and it was nice that her blossoming feelings for Storm were a bonus rather than becoming the sole reason for her existence.
This book would probably have been rated higher if it wasn't for a particular event that happened at the end. Without spoiling the book, something happened which made me question a lot of what had already happened and really didn't sit very well with me. I guess you'll have to read the book to see for yourself!

Eat Rock!
The Jewel of the Nile- is a good film, the cast is back, the action, the romance, the adventure, the drama and the stone. Its now a jewel.
The plot: Novelist Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) is living with adventurer boyfriend Jack Colton (Michael Douglas) on his yacht. But she leaves when Omar (Spiros Focas), the head of a North African nation, asks her to visit his country and write about him. Jack intends to go on a pleasure cruise to Greece, but when he learns that Joan is a pawn in Omar's quest to polish his image and gain greater power, he partners with continent-hopping criminal Ralph (Danny DeVito) in a quest to free her.
The first one is better, but this one is good.

Survivor This Island
Six Days, Seven Nights- is a decent adventure, romance, drama with some action in it.
The plot: In the South Pacific island of Makatea, career-driven magazine editor Robin Monroe (Anne Heche) is on a week-long vacation getaway with her boyfriend, Frank Martin (David Schwimmer). A work assignment in neighboring Tahiti requires Robin to hire a cargo plane piloted by the cantankerous Quinn Harris (Harrison Ford). But when a powerful storm forces Quinn to make an emergency landing on a nearby deserted island, the dissimilar pair learn to set aside their differences in order to find rescue.
Its downfall is david schwimmer he is not a good actor and personality i dont like him as a actor. Other than that, its a decent movie.
