It does grip you (when you are eventually introduced to the shark) (3 more)
Blake Lively does well to pull off the role as the movie's almost exclusive focus
Some beautifully shot scenes
You genrerally share the fear. It's a simple premise - stuck in the ocean with a big shark!
The first part of the movie exists to develop Lively's character but takes far too long (5 more)
Endless, unnecessary shots of Lively's 'rear end' cheapens the movie in its early stages
You get a LOT of blood from from a leg wound
Nothing new here - feels like an amalgamation of a few other better known movies
Some plot holes
That electronic music!
Jaws meets Castaway
Red Blood

The first time I read Red Queen I loved the book. However since the release of the next two in the series my love of the book has been seriously diminished. Where the original story of Mare Barrow finding out she has powers, in a world where silver bloods are supposed to be the only ones who have it, Mare suddenly finding herself into a world of cover ups and betrayals. I really enjoyed the twist and turns of the first book. Unfortunely the same cover ups and beytrals happen in the same way and get dragged out each book. So whilst I love the first one unfortunetly the later books destroy my love of the first.

I really loved the premise of this book. Science mixed with magic and what happens when you don't exactly know the problems that could arise. The action was abundant and exciting. I mean it starts with a tornado and people dying. If that isn't throwing you right into the middle of it.
The book includes artwork that is reminiscent of comic books and give you a sense of what the characters look like in the authors mind. It helped me picture a lot of things that weren't properly shown.
The ending was enjoyable and showed that not all family is blood.
If you liked any of the other books by these authors then definitely check it out.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970) in Movies

Mmmm, Blood of Dracula
Superior Hammer horror movie. Victorian hypocrites looking for naughty kicks get mixed up with one of Dracula's disciples, inadvertently bring him back. Dracula is not grateful and uses their own children to get them.
Usual strong Hammer cast, polished production values, lush James Bernard score - topical (for the time) subtext about the generation gap, and the depiction of Dracula as an avenging angel of darkness is an interesting new twist on a character who seemed in danger of running out of things to do. Dracula was originally supposed to be reincarnated as Ralph Bates, but the distributors insisted they get Lee back, much against his will as usual.

Bonded By Blood
I won this book in a giveaway and really enjoyed the book, not just due to the genre of the book. This book hooked me from the start as I could hardly put it down, which is unusual for me as I find it hard to find a book I really enjoy both actual book form and also e book.
Vampire novels and fantasy are my favourite of all the books I read so this book was right up my street. The characters well written I could relate to their peril and outcome. What they had to go through in order to survive.
Would recommend this book to anyone who likes this or similar genres.

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!!!
All baking recipes are themed on Game of Thrones with an artistic or puntastic edge to them.
From Hot Pie’s Wolfbread (a basic wholemeal bread, shaped into a wolf like he did on the show) and Sansa’s Lemon Cakes to a Red (velvet) Wedding Cake (3 tier cake with ‘blood’ pouring down the side) and the one I really REALLY wanna try myself Oberyn’s Smashing Surprise (long story short a decorated chocolate shell filled with red jelly so you can re-enact the scene and squish it open with your fingers, just like The Mountain did to Oberyn’s skull, mwahahahahaaa).
Oh yes, I shall be making a few of these recipes.
