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.

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!!

War is bad mmkay?
The idea behind The Heroes was good, the battle between the supposedly savage Northmen and the civilised, yet incompetent imperial troops. Abercrombie can sure write an excellent battle scene, and some superbly crafted characters, on both sides.
Altogether though I felt this book a little dragged out, and the whole "war is pointless" message a little forced home.
Of the 3 follow-on books from the main trilogy this is my least favourite.

Great black comedy with serious elements
This is one of those smaller films that comes out of nowhere and ends up being very enjoyable. It's mostly a black comedy but with some serious and sombre overtones. It's got a fantastic cast, by far one of Colin Farrell's best films and Ralph Fiennes is great as bad guy Harry. It's well written with some brilliant dialogue, and the setting in Bruges is just beautiful. Never fails to make me laugh.

Explains What it's like living in Alaska
Shows different people
Documentary
Same plot after the first season (1 more)
Made to look more extreme than what it is
Not Bad
I quite enjoy this show; although quite a lot of episodes are alike. I enjoy the idea of getting to know the Offgriders of Alaska and the hard work that is put into working there. I also enjoy watching the workers and how much they enjoy their job.

Not as good as the book, but not bad
I read the book years ago and fell in love with it. I was excited to see the movie but was left a little disappointed. It was good but kind of ruined what I had made up in my imagination when I read the book. The story is beautiful, fun and action filled. The chemistry was perhaps lacking between the lead actors. It didn't really gel for me.

Following Lee and Clementine is one of the hardest, saddest, and painfullest journey's I've had to make since Last of Us. Ok not that bad but dammit the feels are real. The controls are stupid and looking for batteries is a pain in the ass, but the cast has someone for everyone.... to hate. I'M LOOKING AT YOU DUCK!

A good bit of horror with some good effects. This Spanish film is about the spirit of a murdered Nun taking revenge on the people that killed her. As she was drowned and then dumped in a lake, she manifests through water which is a bit different. It's not a bad film, although not the greatest but we'll worth a watch.

This really a short. I really do know know if I really liked it. For I did not understand what it really was about. I know it some Romance story but it did not really feel that way. I am not saying any bad about the author who wrote it. I am planing on this a 4 stars for I really do know know really if it derserves that for I do not get the title of the book.
