Typical Ritchie editing doesn't suit this type of film
Not the King of this story
It's not bad, but it's far from the best film about King Arthur and Excaliber. The Sfx are good and so are the fight scenes. There are too many characters and it times it has a lock stock, Snatch style elements to it. They didn't suit this film at all. It's ok but doesn't take the crown.

Good Sfx (1 more)
Some good action scenes
Better than expected
It's not as bad as some critics suggest, 15% Rotten Tomatoes?! 5.8 on Imdb. You know what to expect with this type of film. It has some good Sfx and action, stunt scenes. The plot and characters aren't great. At times I think it thought it was funnier than it is. Overall if you like the Brendan Fraser films you'll probably find this ok.

Groundhog Day on Steroids
Ever felt like you're doing the same thing over and over again, but can't remember when? Yeah, that's this movie. You don't even get time to blink, it's simply straight into action, again and again. Surprisingly, you don't feel like the repetition is getting old. A fast paced, thrilling ride, right to the very end. Plus it's Stephen Amell's cousin so he's very easy on the eyes :p Not bad for an Netflix Original.

Intense in all the right ways
Maragaret Atwood is a superb writer, with fleshed out concepts that on the surface are dystopic but are mirrored in current society. This book is intense and emotive, as is its recent television adaption, highly recommended to those that can handle intense and adult themes.

Cath is relatable. (2 more)
Draws in young adult readers but also allows "older" adults to relate.
Made me fangirl Rainbow!
Fantastic Teen Fiction
Rainbow Rowell knows how to relate to young adult readers and how to get "older" adults to reflect back and see themselves in the characters' situations. This book made me fangirl Rainbow so bad! Cath and Wren are twins trying to create their own paths as they step into adulthood. Cath struggles along that path

Anything 80's can't be too bad
Ernest Cline's futuristic novel references back to the 80's in many ways. The story of a kid in 2044 tied to a virtual world called OASIS has the chance to win the grand prize if he can beat the thousands of others to solve it. Love the references used through out the book and the culture of it. Great read, couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it.

By far, one of the greatest films ever
Every now and again, you will find a film which you can watch over and over again and still like it as much as the first time you watched it, this is one of them. From Morgan Freemans narration to the overall acting of everyone in the film, you will find it near impossible to say a bad thing about this film. Highly recommended
What a great thriller this is from start to finish but it most definitely isnt for the faint hearted. It all starts out so innocently with a happy couple making a road trip for the 4th July celebrations but who knew a spilt coffee could be the start of a nightmare that goes from bad to worse.

Alison Pink (7 KP) rated The Witches in Books

Loved this book! It was a quick entertaining read that didn't involve much thinking on my part...never a bad thing after work. My 4th graders are reading it in Book Club & have been devouring it too. The narrator is an awesome character that kids seem to relate well to. But he is also able to hold an adult's interest too. Not always an easy feat for a children's book. This is by far my favorite of Dahl's books!!
