Movie Rating
Dark and brooding occult movie that reveals its hand pretty early on and throughout its runtime, but you may miss this due to being totally engrossed by the fine performances especially from Mickey Rourke who turns in what I believe is a career best as the detective who decends into madness whilst investigating a case.
It's quite an effective thriller/detective story dripping with genuine dread and its share of disturbing and intricate scenes that will still spook you, even in today's era of CGI trickery.
Rourke really surprises here and you wonder what really happened to his star over the years as he showed real promise as an emerging new talent at the time and showed some glimpses of this greatness in 'The Wrestler' much later on in his career.
Robert De Niro plays only a small but extremely memorable and effective role that will chill you to the bone.

I <3 me some Andy Samberg, I was sad when he left SNL, but this show was a good choice. The show is funny, actually laugh out loud funny, and the supporting cast is great. Peralta (Samberg) is a goofy, non-rule following detective at Brooklyn 99, and when the new Chief is appointed, everything changes. Even in the first season, Peralta developed and matured as a character.

Irreverent, deadpan comedy about a mega-arrogant spy / detective who works for his mum
The main character is such a total **** it's hilarious. Sporting my one of my favourite TV quotes: "sorry I couldn't hear you over the deafening sound of my own awesomeness."

It's very fun. And a little bit stupid. But in a clever way!

Jumped around too much (1 more)
Seemingly no focus
I wanted to really like this book, but it was all too scattered. It was cool learning a bit about this lawyer that was a pseudo-detective, but the book was kind of all over the place. The most interesting part was the work over white slavery, I hadn't really read about a lot of that before. Overall, this was a meh.

Orlando A. Sanchez is fairly churning these e-books out and, In my opinion at least, it's beginning to show.

Book #8 in the 'Montague and Strong detective' series, in which Hades (yes, that Hades) wife Persephone has been kidnapped. Tristan Montague and Simon Strong (and Peaches the hellhound, of course!) are hired to investigate that disappearance, leading to the usual mayhem and large-scale destruction of public property.
