Ugh ANOTHER action movie
Contains spoilers, click to show
Had some twists but overall another action film. The typical good cop/bad cop.
The ending Also made no sense, guy was having a meeting about the fact he was a 'trigger' (a cop that shot people too often) yet he killed so many other cops at the end and just walks away? Sooooo unrealistic. The premise of closing down the island was good but the way it's mentioned is like its common practice, I mean, surely shutting down the island would be something thats completely ridiculous and take more than 2 minutes to be decided?
They were given a time limit that in the end made no difference, why bother giving them one when nothing happens when it's not abided by?
The bad guy dies way to easily .(not that im a masochist LOL just that after all he does, he dies essentially from a really easy wound)

Charlotte (184 KP) rated Catch Lili Too in Books

Just when I thought I was near the end it turned out I was only halfway through.....bonus!
Lili isn't the easiest character to love but she grew on me. For all that she is, has been and has the potential to be, she has human traits that she never wanted. She is jaded, tired and depressed. The difference for her is that she isn't in her thirties or forties......she's thousands of years old with a past she'd like to forget.....
Catch Lili Too kept me guessing all the way through, everytime I thought I'd worked it out something else happened.....just how I like it.
The finger of suspicion spins slowly around a misfit group, casting doubts and leaving mistrust. Added in at the beginning of each chapter is a nice one liner of sarcastic humour, which I like.
A well written book that I didn't want to put down. It did exactly what it should do and pulled me into a different world......

When I downloaded this I thought it was going to be a new adult book but it isn't, it's a contemporary erotic romance with characters in their thirties.
Nevertheless I enjoyed the book, how the first half or so is based at the spa retreat and the next 40% (it finishes around the 90& mark) is based back wherever she comes from. The difference between her life at home and the tranquillity of the spa is so different and I have to admit I felt sorry for her, though I don't want to spoilt it for those who haven't read it as to why.
I liked Derek from the first moment he's mentioned, maybe it's the way he looks at her from across the bar and seduces her within a handful of pages
It's hard to write a good review of this book when if I talk about the last half of it, I'll spoil it...

12 Strong tells the story of the first Special Forces team deployed to Afghanistan after 9/11; under the leadership of a new captain, the team must work with an Afghan warlord to take down the Taliban.
This was definitely a film for the guys... and I say that because it was me and about ten lads in the cinema for this screening.
The cast of actors were brilliant, and it really felt like the story was performed with respect. It showed the sides of missions that we can only speculate about, so I really hope this one was done accurately.
One thing I did wonder... did they give Hemsworth coloured contacts for after his first battle? Because after all that talk of seeing the toll war takes on a man in his eyes I really felt like I could see the difference... so if they didn't, that script sure was good at sucking me in.

When you imagine yourself in certain scenarios there's a big difference between how you see it going and how reality lets it play out. The prime example is this film... we all want to be the Jerry (Jeremy Renner), but it's much more likely that we're one of the other four guys. Less precise and strategic, more haphazard and crazed. If I'm being really honest, I'd probably turn into an Anna in this situation.
I really enjoyed this one, laughter is great therapy. Some of the humour is a little dark at times, but it just gave an extra layer to the flow of the story, and made the ending that much more... intriguing..?
There isn't a great deal to say about this one in all honesty. It does what it says on the tin. It's a very entertaining game of tag that had me laughing out loud. A very good way to pass the time.
